Pulled over

I work night shift and at around 1am my friend and I went to go get mexican food down the street. He wanted to drive so I let him. David wanted to see what it could do so did a full second gear pull then a third and finally slowed down at about 85. Guess we passed a Highway patrol because we were doing the speed limit again (55) and saw the flashers in rear view mirror so we pulled into the mexican place. David already had 4 or 5 speeding tickets he was paying so his ticket would be a few thousand dollars, the car had no front plate and a light was flickering on and off so a fix it ticket for me. The officer told us to hang tight while he called a tow truck and pulled us up on his in car computer. He came back from his car asked us what the speed limit was and when my light and plate would be fixed. He then let us go saying are lunch was almost over and we better hurry up. Maybe he felt sorry for davids fine but never have I seen a highway patrol give a warning.

Anyways car is running perfect, think previous owner did a rebuilt because coming up on 150,000 still has good compression and coolant seals still intact after 2 overheats in the past.

The front studs might be longer, I'm not sure because I haven't put spacer on to verify.

I did however, try putting 8mm spacers in the rear, and I didn't go with it because only 3 or 4 threads were showing. I ended up using a 5mm spacer.

or Summit or Jegs.

I think I got mine from Summit when I got longer studs for the race car. They were made by ARP.

Jesse are you going to next weeks meet. I have a work buddy that wants a new evo and I offered to take him along to the meet to see what its about. I know stock is nothing like yours but just thought it might give him an idea of what it can do.
