Talking Hats off to MAXRPM- My car is a beast!!!

Alex at MaxRPM in Bremerton, WA just finished my EVO Stage 4 upgrade. I went with the Fabspeed exhaust and a shorty shifter. The JIC Cross suspension will go on in about a week or so.

Holy Crap! this is a completely different car when you put your foot into it. Like expected, my grandma could drive it around town, but give it some juice and it pulls like crazy in all gears. Boost peaks about 1.2

I'm not sure how many "jiggawatts" she's putting down, but when that flux capacitor kicks in, i'm expecting to end up in a different time zone!

Nice job Alex! I'm loving it

Sharkey..you were right about the "drop links". I think you warned me about buying a used set of JIC's. The coilovers look great, but the coupler and drop links didn't come with the set. Now I'm waiting for a couple weeks to get them from JIC.

We are thinking about cruising out to Alex's shop for a dyno day sometimes this month. What you think?

I don't know about JIC, but The Racers Group makes some beefy drop links -- if your JIC drop links keep breaking, you might want to consider switching to the TRG links.

Are they adjustable? Do you know the cost of them?

I think they are adjustable. I do not know the price. I got mine from Speed Gallery.
