Evo 8 Update.....prior to 'The Rock'.
Guys,
Wanted to drop a quick note, and let you all know, A) I am up to 50/50 for coming. One more person to let know, and I am enroute.
Now, part B) The new stuff in on the Evo, and well, D*MN. The car is unbelievable now. Not what 'phlash' RX8 is, but plain sick. The front sway fixed the turn-in issues, so, now I can really move that thing around. I can't wait to get her on the track again. Also, the tires didn't really look that bad, so I may run them one more event, shoot for a secure 10+ hours of track time.
The brakes, well, the new rotors are on, but I didn't get the new pads on, that is on tap for the dealership on Monday. They are loud, but I could tell they grab a bit harder than the stop Brembo rotors. I will have pics up tomorrow. Also, the new BOV (blow off valve) goes on tomorrow, so I can run 20psi constant. What that means is, instead of running 250whp at Roebling, I will be pushing 310whp instead. Maybe I can run some good times now. On Sunday, I think the R's will come out, and the beatings will begin.
Later, Dave

DAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNN.
Good to hear. Can't wait to see it and ride in it. I'd love to have felt that 310 whp at Roebling. Glad to see you will be there. I told you, resistance is futile.
I've got to get a ride on the Rock!
