Evo X upgrades

[Kracka]

Worry more about your driving than the logging, sounds like the car is running pretty damn good Sucks your PLX gauges are giving you a hassle though. Do you plan to keep them or go another route?

You can get new hardware for your exhaust from any hardware store; ACE sells automotive grade bolts/nuts.

QFT. All the damn gadgets in the world won't make you a better driver. After all, that is why you built the car, right? To drive?

One day at BIR per month and the rest of the month to fiddle with stuff. I'll let my 'pit crew' (brother & his wife) play with the cameras.

I was concerned about checking the AFR a few times just because the setup hasn't been beat on like that before. It held up quite well. The car is incredibly smooth out there. I just need practice with choosing the best gear and some auto-x/car control courses to get a feel for where the limits are.

Autocross is awesome for finding the limit of a car, then bushing beyond it. I spun my IX a few times just finding the edge and pushing past it to see how the car reacted. Well, that and running too much rear tire pressure

I have a big investment so I'd certainly like to see them work. The question is if that's possible. They are one of those companies that doesn't have a tech support phone number...you email and they don't reply. If I don't get an RMA for the OBD gauge then that one will probably just remain dark. I have AFR & Boost on the other gauge and those are the important ones, anyway.

I picked some up at O'Reillys yesterday but got M8 and I need M10 by the looks of it. I'm going to swing by scheides tonight in case I have to cut the existing bolt off (no power in the ramp at home).
