Good to here Jason! We talked about that at sevenstock and I was waiting to hear if it would pass considering your minor mods. Also I like your new picture attachment, what size tires are you running in the rear on the factory BBS wheels in that photo? I hope to make the Jan meet if we do not get rained out, we should meet up like we did that last meet.

Update on my car:

I passed smog today! Thats all I'm going to say about that for now

Tomorrow I'm going to work on my car and I hope to have it all together in time for Saturday. If not, I'll bring my brother's FC which also passed smog today.

My car did technically pass legally, but we did spend about an hour and a half getting the lean/rich screw by the pressure sensor dialed in just right so that it squeaked by barely under the limits. I'll post the smog printout I got later on today. I had such a hassle getting this darn car to pass that next time I may just get it hooked up. We'll see - I have two years to cool off and make a logical decision.

I'm running the stock sized 205/60/15 with BFG G-Force tires. And as always, I'm up for cruising to the meet together!

Cool, I guess it must be the photo because the tires in the back look FAT! Car is definitely looking good 4 sure we will cruise together for the meet weather permitting.

Its definitely the picture! I wish I had more tire in the rear. One day I'll have 17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the rear.

yeah, always has to be a drawback to the good stuff! lol..... but to be honest, ive talked to many evo owners runnign it, and yeah, there is a difference if fuel consumption, but its actually not as extreme as most people make it out to be... and hell, even if it was, id still be running it! hahahahaha
