Put the rear seats down in the 1g and sprawl between the console and trunk... I should be totally uncomfortable, but its free!

I'm 6'6"...that doesn't work too well.

Try being a 6'6" MECP cert'd +12v installer. It sucks! haha

I hear that I'm 6'2'' with a gut and long girly hair. I'd wake up and be hunched over all day with a birds nest atop my head. I was thinking about tricking a friend into bringing his Avalanche so we could put our feet in a covered bed and heads on pillows where the back seat goes :P.

If you're thinking of asking, no, a REAL bed is not an option, you have to get into the spirit of things.

DSM STOCK APPEARING (DSA) -> Stock location headers OK.

EVO STOCK APPEARING (ESA) -> Stock location headers are OK.

vs

EVO X Stock Appearing (SAX) -> No headers

I'm setting up my Evo X with one of those new Garrett GT3076r Bolt on turbos and was wondering why the Evo 7-9 (and DSM) can run Stock location headers where as the Evo X is limited to no headers in their stock appearing class? I was looking into some stock location headers that may even utilize the OEM heat shield so it would literally look very stock. The turbo also uses the stock heat shields so the larger housings would be very hard to spot as well but would rather know if it is considered a "Stock appearing turbo" ahead of time.

It's not the end of the world either way but if stock location headers bump me into 10 sec car land I may just stay with an extrude honed exhaust manifold and do some dyno comparisons when I upgrade.

Thanks for putting on these great events year after year!

Modified the rules for the EVOX class. Stock location headers are allowed.

Thanks for looking into this and making the Stock Appearing classes consistant!

Im ready for this event already.. Sucks though that it comes with fall around he corner. Here it is going into the second week of June and i still have no car back..

Everyone call and verify your hotels, last year i made a reservation in advance and i got shafted.

[b00stedtalon]

My car is ready as of today! Just have to gather up some cash

[talonspyder97]

As long as my shit box is running it will be out in Ohio. Going right by E-Town and just keep on going. I will almost bet my car is the only one like it out there.

That a boy. See you out there bud! Keep in touch about a small caravan.

[yellowevo42]

Just called and im still confirmed at the econo

[yellowevo42]

I dunno if im going to run the car down the strip.. I will be cutting it close to being finished before the event. I really do not know if i want to put abuse on the motor that fast. Im sure the bugs will not be worked out by then either. Im going to have to play this one as each day comes..

[mullen]

ill def be there and i plan on running my pos, if it breaks it breaks...i wont get to drive it for a year anyhow

[yellowevo42]

I would.. but i just cant say well if it breaks it breaks i have way way way to much money dumped into it for it to blow in 1 month.. I have to make sure its strong like bull lol..

[mullen]

i hear ya on that, ill be the same way when i do my build when i get back

[b00stedtalon]

I'm pretty excited about the shootout this year as i'll be taking my new toy, the Evo. The past few years I've taken my old 2g and other misc dsm's I've owned in the past, it will be nice to not have to worry about a broken dsm.

See you guys there!
