Might have to polish the turd up and say a prayer that it holds up until then.

Ditch the factory amp and do something in the 4-500 watt range to run the mids/highs and a single 5-750 watt amp for the sub.Get a hammer cause you are gonna have to pound the piss out of the area behind the rear speakers. There is about 3" of room mounting the speaker to the stock housing...

The rears are 6x9 and need to be about 3" deep or you will need to dent the area behind them to fit.Also since I didn't see it mentioned, if you are planning on using the stock amp you need to look for 2 ohm speakers or you will be making another post as to why your stereo isn't loud...

I would love to see what you improve on that AMS EVO X.Good luck with the new opportunities.

In NW Austin.Wouldn't mind coming out and meeting some new people. I need to find some motivation to keep going forward with this car, wwd and all.

Damn that sucks. I hate thieves worse than any other person, low life bastards.

Isn't it also a wide bolt pattern for the rwd transmission?

You need to come on a Wednesday or Saturday night...and come north. I got word yesterday that there are some nice cars that meet in Buda, but haven't confirmed it. Though, the scene in the Dallas area is still better.

Funny thing is most of the marks are from rwd cars. There are circles, WIDE dual marks (that swerve), and a hand full that cars could only muster while turning left. I agree it is mostly punk kids, though the: old timers, regulars, and fast cars are known to show off too.But what do I...

Sunbusters. You could probably get it done cheaper, but will they be there if there is a problem? They stand behind the work they do, and I know for a fact they will limo tint everything but the doors/front window (since a meter can be put on it). There are better tints for keeping the car...

They keep doing burnouts then that spot will not last. Every monday when I get back to work there are new burnout marks all over that parking lot.So sad that crap still happens, that is a good spot too.

Looks like instead of making a new post, the 1st post was edited on the 17th of May.Maybe next year....

To a point that is true. What you are describing is a car show, to be held during daytime hours. Hanging out, bs'ing, etc. at the night meets is all in fun but we both know the night meets are for racing. The fast guys like to swing their dicks, the quick cars like to think they're fast, and...

Which excuse?You gonna put me, the wife, and baby up if I get pulled over for racing/watching? I drive for a living, a very nice living I might add, and I am not gonna risk that to come out on a night when cops just look for a reason to stop you. Sadly times are a little different in this...

I remember you getting beat by one...but I digress. :pBut I did say around, just not at the meets. Most are old ####s like me with a job, family, and lack of kitchen pass.

So no Eclipse's go out anymore? I know a few are being (re)built but there are still more than a handful of fast ones around. :confused: I have to be feeling brave to come out, cause a ticket could cost me my job. But I am all over north Austin looking for people to play with...

Look for the Evo X wheels. :sneaky: Even though they are 18's and you'll probably need to roll the rear fenders. :confused: Aggressive and clean. Just like it should be.

He is looking for a 10" wide wheel, he will not need spacers.If you are going to try to run a 10" wide wheel with that low of a drop, you will need to flare the fenders because there is no wheel that wide that will tuck without hitting the suspension. What wheels are you looking at anyway...

Why? Have you searched at all? This question is asked about 10x a week even though someone went through and set up a nice guide as to what will work and what won't.

I don't really think anyone is worked up, just coming across wrong on the internet. As far as Brian and Chris...I believe Brian moved when FP moved. Unless there was another Brian/Chris brother combo I was not aware of. Did you used to come to any of the meets?I understand the time thing...

Are you seriously saying there is NO ONE in the Austin area that can tune a DSM? I can name 6-7 off the top of my head, and I'm not even really in the loop.Like I said, your profile doesn't show anything that would take more than a couple of hours to safely tune on your own. If you are...

Oh, her profile says afc and she didn't bother to answer when I asked. Good luck with that thing. MZM or Tuning Concepts (I think that's Justin's business).LOL, there is a sucker born every minute though.

Howard Lane, right across the street from the FedEx station.They tune anything for the right money. They love the Evo and STI most though.I'll still think thatblondechik should spend some time doing it herself. Tune the idle, cruise, then slowly work up to the wot. You have a...

MZM? Colvin?What are you tuning with? Cause if your profile is up to date, I see no reason that wouldn't take more than a few pulls down a back road somewhere to get dialed in. Also, no need to rev that high with that turbo . WTF

Jinxed yourself. Go ahead and start the partout now! Text me and I'll be right over to pick a few things up. :D:confused:

Don't get all cocky just yet :nono:, you first have to get it running :p, then running right :confused:. Then you gotta hope you got enough...;)I'm still wanting to see more timely updates.

I was trying to price out these same parts (minus the knuckle) through my local dealer today, and was told the lateral arm could not be purchased on its own any longer. The only way to get it was with the knuckle kit. I have a '98 GST and they used the VIN to confirm the part numbers given...

Can't make either of those.

Not a fan of all black, but good job.Now hit up that curb rash and lug nuts with some paint too. Maybe change the caliper color too.

A website and emails does sound like a good idea. If you could do a basic site for informational purposes only, that would keep all the forums from having to read through threads on the event. Just link the site everytime there is an update.As far a signing up or committing/paying, that...

I would have too, but my first build I actually got more miles and abuse out of the cut/welded/turned crank then I did from the unopened factory motor. But it cost a little bit of money and took a trip to Cali to be sure it was done right. A decision I regret not using on the 2nd rebuild.I...

97spyder210,What is the difference between doing the swap on the spyder to the coupe? An awd spyder with the 2gb talon bumpers/skirts would be pimp!

Cool a Sunday, I might can make that.

I must have missed it, when is the Import Face Off?

Lets hit on your points for me shall we... True I did have drag radials, at 38psi and they still spun didn't they? I spin 2 tires instead of 1. The LSD does NOTHING for this car in a straight line but leave 2 black marks when it comes into boost, now the turns are a different story. The...

I was/am NEVER scared to race you. I have a pregnant wife so I don't exactly get to go to the meets when I want (as you do) and my job requires that I not get tickets/arrested (again) for street racing, well any tickets in general.Just so it is on the record, I would have run your...

Just how much could it handle? And I'm not talking about that all so accurate DSMLink estimate either, cause I have some impessive numbers using that too. ROFL or is it :sneaky: or ;) or :p, but probably more like :spam:.Can I bring my wifes Escort? It will for sure get me to and from SA...

I am probably out. It depends on work and how/when things pick up and Saturday's become mandatory.Since the last one was in SA, is this one going to be in Austin?

Where are the results, excuses, carnage pictures?

So did you get some drag radials? We want a picture of the 14sec timeslip! :p:DROFL

Hmm, when did this happen?

Congrats on the time, you seem to be happy with it.BUT...for the life of me I will never understand why people take a passenger down the track. I honestly don't understand why the track even allows it.End soap box.What mods does your car have?

I did not SEE it posted in his other thread that it included installation, it could have been spoken but I doubt Frank was there for that conversation. ;)I agree $1k installed is a good deal for a 7bolt LONG BLOCK. But he can have one built for slightly more money, and reach the goals he...

Boy how we have got off topic here.Any video of Richard's runs yet?How many people are going? Chris, do I see a 10 on the 18th? Frank?

You may not have been hard on it, but you sure weren't nice to it by letting the oil get they way you described.Hopefully the crank is good and will only need to be polished, just build the 7bolt if so. I did that back when and beat the snot of it daily before it gave up 3 years and some...

I'm sure he does his own work and 1k is high for a 7 bolt, complete or not. I didn't see where it said anything about installation. :confused:

If the crank is good, you could easily have it built between $1500 and $2000 by shopping around for specials on quality parts. You could then throw whatever you want at it as long as your tune is good. That would be my route. You could do a 6bolt swap and be done with it.I guess it really...

That is interesting that can't be tuned out with the flash. What type of day to day issues would you have with speed density, or would it just be an issue with major weather changes? (humidity, temp, etc)I guess I need to spend some time on evom and learn about these cars.

I got a little sick watching that video. :barf: That camera man needed an air pillow or a stabalizer on his arm.Man, your car is all over the place! WTF

Wow, Chris' car leaves all over the place! The Evo is fast for sure, and it's crazy to think that it's on the weak stock clutch. I have a few questions. (I'm not familiar enough with the Evo's ecu setup to make assumtions) You say stock ecu, but does it have a flash? What would be the...
