thanks man, The lil evo has come a long way and I'm still way in love with my car. My poor stealth doesn't get much attention these days. The guys over at 3si.org are realizing that they've lost me to the EVO world and aren't too happy about it

the English Racing small front brake kit came with rotors/calipers/pads and lined up with the stock lines. It was a very easy install, works like a champ. In daily driving I can't tell the brembos are gone and I hit them very hard one time and had no problem getting into the antilock

the caliper/rotor/pad combo is 5lbs lighter per corner, I'm not sure how much of that is rotating mass but every little bit helps.

The M&H dot radials are also here and the 15" rota slipstreams should be here any day now.

He isn't going to.. If he ever did decide to, he would have another evo as his dd with one on it.. He loves that turbo for street, but since he drags his car, the hta86 is the best choice!

Also, why would you ask this silly question? The FP red is a stock framed turbo... His car is already equipped with everything he needs to run a big turbo like the hta86.. are you trying to get your post count up or what?

I like the FP Red but the HTA86 will put out quite a bit more power ultimately and that's what gets me down the road faster. If the Red could sustain 700+awhp to 9k rpm I'd be interested.

I know this was a little while ago but about how many miles you put on the exedy before it started exhibiting problems and what have you put on the tilton so far?

The progress you have made so far is incredible. You really have set the bar for open ecu tuning! Cant wait to see what happens this year!
