Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

It's tough to judge what your thought process was for the de-evolution in power, the twin scroll PTE was boss...Enough and sorry for the negativity, I bet it will be nice to get it back on the street!

I do miss the twin scroll PTE, the setup was beast and pretty much everything I wanted out of the evo.

However, I decided it was time to get my finances in life straight. Being single with no house was easy to justify the stupid spending on the racecar. But when I got a steady gf and a house, I was really strapped for cash spending money on the evo. So I decided to just let it rest a bit and wanted to sell off some stuff to pay off debt. Now I am in much better shape, just my house and a car payment for my dd for debt! No more silly 0% stuff for car parts or what not. Also now have a savings account and starting to add stuff to 401k, so much much better off financially.

It did suck making the decision to demod the evo and go to half the power (no power right now) but in the grand scheme it was smart for me.

I am also working on refinancing and after that I will be doing a deck, sprinkler system, new sod, black dirt and landscaping hopefully. Trying to spread the love to other stuff in life besides the evo. I will get back to it though, don't worry And in the meantime I will enjoy the stock turbo.
