Check this out guys, it's in Ennis, Texas which is near Dallas, about 10 hours from here. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make it because my wife is due in June, but its something that I'm considering, especially since I won't be able to make the DSM shootout in Ohio this year. Anyone else considering going? http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/vendor-announcements/455853-forced-performance-lonestar-shootout-may-12th-2013-a.html

It's still open, Friday nights I believe.

Haha, it will happen. Our drag strip is only open at night and its cold and dark this time of year. I'll probably hit the drags again in March. Now that I have slicks and my car weighs several hundred pounds less, 12's and possibly even 11's should be achievable.

I have tried to race a couple of old vipers never have only the rams srt10 but they suck specially a black one from evolution body shop......

Well I've been working on my 98 talons again I'm doing a full wire tuck and brake line tuck and also my power steering lines but I won't be cancelling my A.C. nor my ABS. My brake lines will be passed under the wiper cowl and behind the fenders...And got my full black leather interior

Got all my ideas from people in this website, A LOT OF SOLDERING and HEAT SHRINK TUBE!!

That looks like a lot of work, but I'm sure you will come out victorious. I'm about to start mine too, so be ready for some competition! Jaja

I'm with a few of you guys.... I have a 2.3 short block and FP Green sitting around along with a few other assorted goodies.


Here's where she is right now.

I've been wanting to do lexan on the hatch and rear quarters. I also want to do the door windows, but i want them to still be able to go up and down since mine is still a dd. I'm pretty close to reaching my weight reduction goal of being 2000lbs or less. Just a little under 100lbs to go, With more than enough areas left to reach and pass that goal.

I don't know if you guys have heard of the Dustball Rally but it was started here in El Paso many years ago and takes place annually. I got the opportunity to compete in it this weekend with my Evo. Here are a few pictures I wanted to share with you guys, sort of as a quick overview of the event. It is a blast if you ever get a chance to do it!

Day 1 (Alpine, Arizona)

I uploaded them directly to the site, can you see them now?

 

[Ghost_92TSi]

I see them, nice, talk about your change in climate, what happened to your bumper!?!?

Heck yeah, we went all over and got a little bit of everything. However there was snow just about everywhere. The bumper was a cheap fiberglass replica that the previous owner had installed and it was just spray painted black. The first big hit as hitting a dip at high speed. The rest came from rocks and gravel being kicked up the cars in front, again at very high speeds Getting a new OEM bumper was already on my list so its no big deal. I will also need a new windshield, unless it can be repaired. It has a few chips and one 4-5" crack down by the wipers.
