It's official... sharky's car is gone...
 
Well out of my puny 2 car garage anyways. I'm gonna be leaving it here at Akkurat (I've got a sleeping bag there now) since we've got some fun stuff planned for it:

I'm nut sure which carbon fiber wing is bigger. ****ty pix but I was in a hurry. Other than it being my birthday yesterday (thanks Orli!) it's my 4th anniversary today too so gonna go out with the wifey for a bit. No time for bling bling pix:(

Thanks to all of you that I asked about daily D's. I looked at the Cooper S, EVO, STi, 350Z, Cayenne, S4 other Porsches and so on... I loved 'em all but this one seemed to fit me best. I love how it handles out of the box and I'm loving the manual:P

Thanks Robert... Can't wait to do the Sushi thing. I've been saving my ghetto-pocket-money for it:)

It's in my blood dammit:( I can't help it. I need two big CF wings:)

It is a lot of fun (except when I stall it lol) and the missus was happy to meet you too. She went off in a blaze of glory doing AutoX in the parking lot by Albertson's, I kid you not. She likes it!

Looking forward to seeing Joan again....I have my camera here!

Hahah Rejex her or what;)?

Nice...

I heard that the Evo has a worse turning radius than a Toyota Camry... does it feel this way?

HotRodGuy Jul 3, 2004 02:04 AM

you ricer ;) :P


I love the evo, we just finished doing the AEM EMS and a cam swap on my buddies along w/ just basic bolt ons. The car pulls SOOOO hard, it's definately a high 11 second ride. Took more then some time to work out the bugs though. Car has the Tein Flex suspension :drool: and Volk SF Winnings in Gold :)




enjoy, i'm gonna be selling my car around the start of summer next year and i'm stuck between the evo and the dodge magnum RT :)


When it comes time to modifying it, i've got a guy down here that does unreal things. I'll also get you some pics of my buddies car since it's white :)

Great purchase. You will love the 4G63 engine. :) Come talk to me if you want some modding advice.

It seems like it's on rails. It's funny but very well balanced. I like it. A bit of understeer but that can be fixed....

I think the engine is great. What a 4 banger it is... I will be talking to you soon man:)
