Minot,

Since I first got into DSMs I knew I wanted to build something that looked good and went fast...something the majority of DSM owners kind of overlook. No offense to those people as having a fast car is nice, but there are some that are different and have both as well.
The motto of most people that have a heavily lowered car is "low and slow."...my motto is a little different. To be honest, I don't have a motto, but it isn't low and slow. Probably something more along the lines of "it's low, but no, it is not slow." Not very catchy but who gives a s**t. I know being so low doesn't really help with handling but it is a partial DD anyhow so it doesn't hit the curves too much (although when the tubular subframes get finished (ahem 99gstracer
) I may be correcting the suspension geometry 
).
Enough of the talk, here are the times and for reference, the car.
Mods are in my profile, boost is set at 26-27psi..it changed a little throughout the day but the 11 second pass was at 26psi
First pass of the day and first pass with the new turbo...bogged the launch pretty bad
Second pass I did a little better launch after raising the two step but I had to let out in second due to wheel hop
Third and final pass I got a decent launch and made it through the gears decently
All in all it was a good day. I am very pleased with the times and I know for a fact it has more in it because I was running rich the whole day and I haven't done a boost leak test in months...even after tearing the motor out and putting it back together
Oh and btw, this is a 125k mile stock 7 bolt block. It is driven damn near every day and is getting A/C put back in so I can drive it more during the summer. Comfortable streetcar FTW

Should be hitting mid 11's on my Evo as well! Hoping to hit the track in the next couple weeks after I double check the tune and make sure everything is running right.
