for reference Stock EVO8s have been known to pull 1.6 60s stock .

And you guys are right to an extent with RWD vs AWD. any RWD car running slicks ,or drag radials and live axles can easily equal and AWD launch . however IRS cars generaly have bad wheel hop issues. to give an example of IRS cars with wheel hop, the worlds fastest supras switch to ford 9" rears ,and use GM 2 speed power glide trans. and with slicks they can pull some 1.5 short times.

On average an AWD car drivin right , will always out 60' a properly driver RWD car. :)

I can totally attest to the wheel hop issue. :(

BTW George says he could never get off the line faster than Lemon, and George is the fucking man when launching a RWD car. I'd be extremely surprised to see Tyler outlaunch Lemon.

thank you :), yeah being able to launch a rwd car well is a good thing, but being able to launch a awd car well is a VERY good thing lol

But the new one is more what I wanted, and it was a very good deal. So although I don't want to sell the old one I really need the room and some cash right about now so I can mod the white beast (which is actually very fast as it is).

P.S. Lookout for the white 1st gen with no interior, loud exhaust and sparco seats. Oh and rolling on Canadian Tire specials.

I dunno, it was in Alberni, but now it's in my driveway so it's all good. Got the poly bushings ordered along with some 4-point harnesses yesterday, should be rather fun I'm thinking.

He sold the red FD about a month ago for 18K and it had a few things done to it and was mint. He's working on a black one right now which has quite a bit of stuff done to it... its on 18's for one full 3" exhaust, full suspension (i belive) as well as some other things that I dont know about. haha! don't know if he's gunna be selling that one tho?!?

bcty 04-28-2004 08:47 PM

yeah he doesnt want that one.. he has one money pit he does need 2 or so he says.. i think hes just a pussy he needs 3

Korpse 04-29-2004 01:47 AM

haha ok... didn't know if he was selling the black one or not.. he's doing a pro job on it tho...

timpo why the hell did you post 4 different bloody threads with pictures of the same car, why not just ADD THEM ALL TO THE SAME THREAD ;)

91TII 04-29-2004 10:36 AM

Hey Tyler, are you working on Friday at all? I am gonna be down and around in Nanaimo possibly during the day and then maybe going out that night (not sure on that yet), so if your gonna be around then maybe we should hit up Lordco or something for some parts...lol...mmm...good ol Lordco! Anyways, let me know if your gonna be around and I will stop by if you are.

later

koukimonster 04-29-2004 03:21 PM

18K for the red one eh?
that'd be jsut right for price. is that about the price i can expect for a good condition FD? or a little more? i'm looking for close to stock i think....and any and all reliabilty mods...lowish km's

bcty 04-29-2004 04:54 PM

oh should I?
hmm...maybe I can find something...but I haven't seen any FD for $18k lately though...I saw an FD in Nanaimo for $17000 or something. I think it's sold now.
I'll keep my eyes open though.:)

koukimonster 04-30-2004 01:22 AM

yeah thanks, i'd like to check one out sometime....heard they were a bit cramped for 6'4" guys like myself...
and i'm just a little concerned about me being able to afford maintaining the car.....
