Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
He was creeping on here last night i saw when i was in a thread.
So is this car going to be tearing up RS/U at PG and the race car in whatever the big dog class is?

The way things are going the race car will not be there. I requested a Shep 300M TX case in Oct-Nov last year, every time I call I'm told I'm at the top of the list, they should show up in a month, they put the order in for new gear sets in Dec, I won't miss the race season...
With no confidant ETA in sight. IT SUCKS!
In the event that the race car is not ready Ill be bringing the 6266 powered Evo. Im not sure what I events I will enter?
Also, I heard that Swifty might have sold his car! So much for the race. |

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
I feel ya on the ETA thing Ill probaably miss proving grounds because of it. At least you have to beasts to play with though Im sure the Evo wil DO WORK! Alot of big turbo evos should be there this year.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Wow it's been a while since I posted on this thread. The trailer and car are tucked away for the winter. I took the battery and injectors out. I'll be sending the 2150's back to FIC for a clean and balance. It was an uneventful summer! I thought I popped the head gasket, but turned out to be a faulty radiator cap. Thats it!

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Well I took my evo to bir for the 4th of july. First pass down the track and I poped the clip out on the clutch... no good, I was running an exedy hd twin disc. I never expected to run this clutch with the power I make but is been holding well to this point. I just got the car back on the road, changed the clutch out for a qm gear drive. l also ripped apart the transmission to install a billet output tube.

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
I forgot to review how the car drives with the new clutch. I had a dsm qm for many years, and it made so much noise it wasn't even funny. The new gear drive is barely noticeable and is slightly louder than the exedy. driveability is very similar too. I'm super happy.
Oh and I needed to machine some of the throw out bearing to get it back in spec. It was like 0 clearance, it should be around 0.144 of clearance. Others have commented about this too, and some have toasted thrust bearings due to not measuring!

Re: Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects
Up at pg on Friday I made a pass to check trap speed, not launching the car, went 10.6 @ 142. I'll only get 1 more chance at a full out pass, as I was warned by track officials. Got the 2 step all dialed in and I'm going to try to launch it. If the 60 feels good I'll run it out. It would be crazy if it went 9's!

Thanks!
Had a great weekend, the weather was awesome, great times hanging out with everyone. I met all my goals of the weekend, get deep into the 10s, go 140+, and win the class. I ended up running a best of 10.325@ 140 in the finals to win the RSU class.
Im super impressed with the car, I never had do anything with the car all weekend. In comparison, when I run my talon it pushes about a Ό to ½ a quart of oil in the catch can each pass. The Evo had nothing to drain.
As it turns out the Evo is not as well behaved off the line like my Talon is. I failed to get traction off the line when on the 2 step limiter. It would just immediately spin the front tires. I could have tried lots of different RPM points, but I ended up just free revving pretending I was leaving a stop light quickly.
I think with a ton of seat time I could get into the 9's, but it's not my goal. I'm 100% fulfilled with the low 10s!
I could not get the embedded video to work, below is the link:
