I would love to go and down the line the car will be set up for bigger tracks but need a trailer before I commit to something like that. You going??

I would love to go and down the line the car will be set up for bigger tracks but need a trailer before I commit to something like that. You going??
So, I finally got the car back on the road. It decided to break down just before the septembers autocross event when I was out driving it. I put a good amount of miles on the car before it broke...
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'm gonna set a day aside and get it sorted out hopefully. Big willow would be awesome but I need a trailer before I make that commitment. I've been really...
Unfortunately no!!! My car was all ready to go and my wife and I took it out for dinner a few nights before and I got a Check engine light and the car wouldn't run. I was fortunately a block away...
All Wheel Drive Fitted would be my choice. I used him years ago and his prices were great and he came to me.....Or you could sell your Evo too.

I've always noticed a difference in lower end between E85 and 91. The car comes alive on E85 all around in my opinion. More pep in its step I guess. You do lose gas mileage, but it makes up for it in...
I got roughly 400 miles on the new quartermaster race version. I've noticed the race version is a tad quieter then the street version but the grab is harsher compared. I didn't really take pictures...
Is the clutch slipping? If not, then your good but you probably took a good amount of life off your clutch. We're your RPM's jumping up when you stepped on the gas? It's usually very oblivious if...
Also, this might be the last event they hold at El Torro due to the housing track construction in the great park...I think.
No problem! My friend had to remind me when I told him I was planning on attending the Saturday El Torro Event.
Count me in!!! I'll be there Sunday with the Evo and it'll be my first time as well.

I got some weights that'll keep mine from blowing away. My wife might come with me and I don't want her to have to sit around in the sun if she wants to stay back while I have the car out.
I'm...
I'll be there for sure. I might be the slowest person out there but I'm really excited to try it out. Do you bring an easy up or anything like that for shade?? I've been to a few bicycle races out...
Thank you for this!!
Ha! yeah, it's plenty fast enough for me to be honest.
As for the clutch, I know there's other options out there but I ran this same setup for 25k and it never skipped a beat. I'm not sure why...
After that whole setback was finished and the turbo was rebuilt (Ruben @ SocalPorting) and installed I started the break-in process. I put just over a thousand miles on the car and did three oil...
So, I drove the car to San Diego sometime ago and had the intercooler piping re-routed so the engine bay would be not as messy. I decided to use the intake setup that I noted to remember from a few...
Thank you!!
Yeah, it's always fun going to my buddy's place and looking around. He seems to always have some nice rides around along with his Rx4 and silvia. Heres some pictures he sent me the other day....
No, it's not ASC. It's a good friend of mine thats built my exhaust, intercooler, and piping from before. His shop was called Time Machine Racecraft. He mostly works on Adam Corollas Datsuns and a...
Apex Hunter,
That was built for my ARC intake but now it routes differently for a cleaner look. I had to take the car to San Diego to get the fabrication work done, so that was temporary. I'll...
I love the orginal color of the valve cover but I wanted to keep it neutral just in case I get pulled over. Painting the valve cover was seriously the hardest part of this whole project. Also, no...
Sorry I haven't followed through with more updates as I been out of town for a while. Below are some pictures of the progress made.
Manifolds back from coating and porting from Socalpoting....
It's been a while since I really posted any updates. Car is runnig great and I'm now getting it ready to do some auto cross events. Here's some more photos of the engine build.
Getting everything...
Yeah, I was nervous because of what you said before. I can't think of anything they did that I could say was bad besides the time it took. He actually helped me with a few other things for no charge...
