Default Anything good going on in Reno 4/23

We are planning a overnight road trip to deliver a Evo to one of the members of this board, anyone got any suggestions for something to do Saturday night?

Well it's more like who is getting their Evo back, some how I ended up in the possesion of a Black Evo with gold/silver SSR's and big turbo on Thursday and probably should give it back to the owner even if I don't want to

I'm sure we will be up to no good following day one of autocross, however Scott and I have to be at the race early Sunday, So I will have to limit my fun. I think there will be enough to keep entertained Saturday night.

Hello!

I think we* should get into town around 8pm ish. Is there anywhere to take the Evo for some spirited high altitude testing (the main reason we're delivering it)

Mike

It's not ready yet, will be a couple of days. If Mike is ok with it I can post the dyno charts on here when we're finished with everything.

It's one of those setups that really is never going to do anything great on 91, run it on 100 and the car will make 400whp and laugh at you (I didn't realize these Evo's where game for so much like this) Should be interesting to see how the standalone works with the altitude hence the reason we're bringing it up to Mike as I want to make sure it's all cool prior to giving him the keys.

As long as it runs well under 3k then its fine, that's the only place he drives it anyway. I require a ride when it gets back Mike.

Special thanks out to Mike, Soren, and all the guys at gruppe-s for working on my car and getting it tuned. It couldn't have happened without your help!
