well, if I HAD to take a guess off the top of my head, I'd say curb weight is around 3274 lbs for an Evo IX with the wing.

and keith.. id agree on the extended lugs for the most part... but due to the offset of the wheels, they will not stick out at all... i think ill try and put them on and see what they look like.. if they look like ***, ill take em off, but if i like em iil keep them on
Also no ABS brakes, watch out in the rain.

SO about 3200 lbs ( 3219 minus radio/windows ) with 300hp and all wheel drive. Nice!!
good milage . . . four doors . . . full trunk . . .
BUT . . . . .
Did it come with a child seat?
sorry, seen you with a kid last time, so I am guessing this weighed in on the decision.
The real question though; what are you driving to next months meet?

Streets of Willow

When Denward and I got there in the morning, there was still alot of standing water from the previous days rain. The track was dry though.

we weren't the only ones out there...plenty of fast Evos, STis and one pesky little Elise....I think I've seen this guy at the autocross course.....Ulllose should recognize this car...he has an "Olin" sticker behind his front fenders.

The guy with the red 8 is not on our forums. He had the Enkei RPF1's and a funky side mounted single exhaust. The grey 8 had a single exhaust as well, with no cat and no muffler.....

4 more, from after the race...at a little beat down shed.

And one more, that I really liked, from the morning puddle/lake.

the stock elise puts out 190 hp with 138-140lbs of torque. it also weighs just under 2000lbs which gives it the power to weight ratio of a porsche 911. i think 0-60 is only 4.9 or so.

the owner also told me he has just about every bolton you could think of and he is running on old R compounds. running a track day on tuesday means that most of the poeple there are either rich, or very hard core. there were only 5-6 cars we were able to pass consistently. if they were on R compounds, we didnt stand a chance no matter what the car.

When I buy the system I will let you know so we can put it in. As for the RB exhaust, my friends uncle owns a warehouse and he said he can get any brand of exhaust for almost half price because he gets things whole sale.
