I'm heading out to Ohio in August for the shootout, but I don't want to drive the evo 7+ hours there and back and hope nothing breaks while I am there. To that end, I'm going to trailer the car there. I have a truck to tow, but need to find a trailer. I can rent one from Uhaul but it is...

Yea, there was almost no turn out this year. I think only 5 or 6 GTRs showed up and the fasted one ran like a 9.9 (that I saw). Bracket class had the most cars and the winner of the evo/wrx bracket class was a 70 year old guy driving a stock forrester.

Anyone know what time the racing starts? It just says gates open at 10am.

It was in the parking lot near the 1/4 mile finish line in the middle near one of the blue garbage cans. I'm wondering if someone packed it up on their trailer

Hi everybody, great event this year! It looks like I lost my toolbox at the track yesterday 8/18. It is a small portable craftsman 3 drawer toolbox. It is red with a black top and has an act sticker on top. I have attempted to contact the track but I couldn't get anyone on the phone. This box...

Thanks! I have read some of these write ups and manuals and I'm sure I could do the tuning and learn the software, but my original point was that I already know ECMLink and am proficient in it and comfortable tuning with it. So if it wouldn't pose any major issues it would be preferable to using...

Hey guys, I'm mostly posting this thread to generate some discussion and get some feedback.Quick history: I've been in to DSMs for about 10 years now and by no means am a guru of any sorts, but I am pretty knowledgeable. Picked up an 03 evo 8 about 3 years ago. Mostly stock, but now I'm at...

Just read through the post, excellent work my friend! Glad to see people are still building DSMs!

See if it runs or not, that is a big factory in determining price. If its not even running, then he may have fudged up some valves with the incorrect timing and possibly dinged up some pistons. Either way if he needs to get rid of it, start low and see what he says.

This is recommended, however not 100% necessary. I installed a stock (rebuilt) 7 bolt head on a 6 bolt block using 6 bolt ARP head studs with no clearance issues.

they make sweet ass hood pins

I usually park behind the fance

Looks like I might be rolling down from up north actually...

I'd help if I was nearby. But in the meantime check the basics:1) Spark 2) Fuel 3) Compression

off the top of my head1) get a good 'safe' street tune on there while you break in the motor 2) make sure you break in the motor, motoman style 3) check for any leaks or vacuum hoses that popped off 4) boost leak test 5) compression/leakdown test 6) just drive it around and make sure...
