Just picked up this little gem...

I'm in love. This thing is incredibly clean. Can't wait until it's rocking a built auto, 6 bolt, EVO9 turbo, and DSMlink.

Re: Just picked up this little gem...

Insurance for cars with little to no value is not even worth thinking about. I'll bet this one costs me 40 bucks a month. Despite MA state troopers trying to profile me as a balding 30 year old "street racer," my record isn't too bad. Only about 2 items in the last 6 years now. I think I only pay ~150 a month for the EVO for full coverage. The diesel is only about 50 a month too.

Goal for this one. Well, the singly is getting replaced by a Dually, to pull the RWD. The MightyMax is going to replace the EVO as my fun street/strip car. When I don't feel like dealing with the RWD and all of it's difficulties, I can just blast up to the track in the MM and have some good old fashioned fun. It's getting about the same setup that went 12.0 in the EVO. EVO 8-9 turbo, DSMlink, etc. I'm hoping to get enough traction through proper suspension tuning and tire selection to take advantage of this thing's super low weight (~2600 lbs?) and get it into the 11s. Basically just a fun street/strip car that the cops won't even notice, and thieves won't bother with.

Re: Just picked up this little gem...

Yes, EVO's already parted out to a high 12 second car. As soon as I can pull the FMIC off and reflash the ECU it goes up for sale.

Re: Just picked up this little gem...

Already went 11.50 in it, don't want to cut it up for a cage, and I want to try something new. The EVO was a real learning experience. I'm now comfortable running nitrous, I've become very proficient with AEM EMS, got to be the first person to test an EVO Green/20gLT for airflow curves (with DSMlink), got to run a few custom EVO DSMlink chips, etc. Not to mention I ran it at the track every week for three seasons without a single breakage. The old girl did well, and I'll miss it, but it's time for the next project.
