I'm hoping a few of these with life still left in them are available on the used market in a few years - I'd love to buy a dedicated autocross car - and with the four doors and trunk, you don't even need a support ride - put street wheels and tires on it, drive to the track, take the wheels out of the back doors (of course if it's a dedicated ride, you've removed the back seat and installed a tire rack like all good autocrossers do, right?), bolt up and go racing!
Have fun!

When I ordered my wheels the guy told me he just sold some wheels to a local guy with an Evo and he insisted on having them staggered. It's JDM yo!

Definately there are some good applications for it. My little brother's 1968 Buick has monsters in the back and pizza cutters up front. It still spins them effortlessly.

BTW...Ike I'm now registered as "Turd Squirter" on EvoM in case you couldn't tell from that thread. Steiner was banned. Some guy from Thailand with an STi 203 called me an "***" and a "dick" when I said his spoiler was over the top. I said "relax Pad Thai..." and next thing I know I'm banned for a "racial slur". Personal insults apparently are OK but making reference to exotic asian cuisine is taboo. EvoM sucks and there's nothing anybody can do to change that. You'll discover too soon enough. Warralton and a few of the other old DSM gurus have awesome info though. It'll be shame when they lose interest and stop visiting like all the other knowledgeable tuners who were very active when I originally registered in November of '04.

I know. I figured my first forum ban would be more exciting or, at a minimim, remotely justifiable. The fact they didn't ban my IP too leads me to believe their were some serious internal doubts about the need for the ban. Oh well. My new name is funnier and definately more juvenile. I feel like I fit in mych better.
