Mid-March is the earliest I'd think about pulling mine out of storage.

Re: WW Evo IX RS

Oh I see, my grandparents live on Madison lake. Cool area, pretty good lake for fishing walleye too. I was just wondering because the garage and driveway looked identical to my old place. Love the car btw, great build!

Re: WW Evo IX RS

E85 Tune date set for April 15 (9:30am) at RS Motors

I also have a few things ordered to clean the car up a bit and whatnot

- ETS UICP/ OEM BOV

- New OEM RS floor mats

- Fender Liner

- Front license plate (LOL)

- Repaint lip on front bumper

- Removing tint

- Clean injectors and maybe new Walbro 255 (its getting old)

- New turbo oil feed line (old one is rusty as balls)

There will be a few more things before the racing season gets under way like possibly new brake pads and lines. For sure new fluid.

Re: WW Evo IX RS

I'm a happy guy today, it felt good to get this one running and tuned properly. Ron did his thing as always and so did the entire crew. We had an annoying squeaking coming from the serpentine area and I thought it was a tensioner or pulley but ended up being a bad belt. After a quick repair with a new belt it was off to tuning. About 2 hours of Ron's magic it was making 413/415 @31psi. We backed it down to 396/404 @30psi because the clutch started slipping. Moral of story: STS is the way to go on Evo IX's.

Modz:

E85 Tune by Ron @ RS Motors
