View Full Version : i'm new...kinda
azredevo 12-08-2006, 07:08 AM HI! I'm new to nasioc! i'm old to evom and azawd. so a lot of you may know me. i'm Tim, and I drive what seems to be the only red evo viii in the state lol. I met a lot of you guys at the tortilla flatts run last week. I was the one in the '04 Z06. The reason i'm on here, is because I wanna get in on the meets, and let's face it.... an all subie meet is awesome, but you need the red headed stepchild to join in occasionally to mix things up a lil bit, right?
2TG8V 12-08-2006, 07:46 AM Good morning:)
VSB XT 12-08-2006, 09:47 AM Welcome to NASIOC man! :disco:
shwoop_soobie 12-08-2006, 10:06 AM always room for that red headed stepchild though i will warn you, the red headed step child is a target of rage and agression :)
Dangerviking 12-08-2006, 10:14 AM Lol I always thought of the Evo as more of a kissing cousin to the subies.. if you want a redheaded stepchild, try owning a Celica AllTrac (or two.. lol). Anyway, welcome!
dozer54321 12-08-2006, 11:01 AM welcome,
i would love an alltrac!

racingfish 12-08-2006, 12:42 PM those all tracs were UgGGggoooollyy~!!! not to mention on the slow side.

James@RPM 12-08-2006, 02:12 PM Welcome there are tons of Evo guys I hang with but your right they never come out unless theres bbq.
schooby 12-08-2006, 02:21 PM Lol I always thought of the Evo as more of a kissing cousin to the subies.. if you want a redheaded stepchild, try owning a Celica AllTrac (or two.. lol). Anyway, welcome!
not sure how a WR champ is a redneck stepchild.... :lol:
azredevo 12-08-2006, 02:33 PM wow. that's prolly the best welcome i've ever had! i'll be out @ tortilla flatts again this saturday, and afterwards, imna find a way to get upto payson and happyjack.I wanna drive into the mountains, and do some twisties, now that the evo is back in running order. anyone's welcome to tag along.
WgnWheel 12-08-2006, 03:40 PM those all tracs were UgGGggoooollyy~!!! not to mention on the slow side.
Dangers old crusty all-trac laid down 210-220whp on dc's dynodynamics...running very poorly. cars make power, but are heavy.
And Welcome new guy! I know someone else with a red VIII, only other one i've seen.:)
racingfish 12-08-2006, 04:30 PM STARIONS/conquests made power... but built like a tank
dozer54321 12-08-2006, 07:04 PM the 165 all tracs kinda sucked but the 185, mmmmm they even were top mount ic
racingfish 12-08-2006, 07:19 PM i never dug the body style of the celicas... any year
EJXXX 12-08-2006, 08:07 PM i never dug the body style of the celicas... any year
thats why I like the all trac. They're ugly like the fox body 5.0's. All business, no flare.
OP I drive a red IX btw. Whats your tag on evom.
azredevo 12-08-2006, 10:36 PM my mom had a starion, bought it new, and my dad hated it. it smoked his v8 trans am! lol
BajaSTI04 12-09-2006, 12:45 AM welcome and the baja has to be in the ugliest car talk!
they make chidren cry...haha
rex_2nr 12-09-2006, 12:49 AM Good morning:)
WTH are you doing on the internet at 5 am :confused:
azredevo 12-09-2006, 01:05 AM WTH are you doing on the internet at 5 am :confused:
about to goto sleep ;)
Dangerviking 12-09-2006, 01:53 AM lol... At least for once a few people know what an alltrac is ;)
A lot of people don't like the looks of 'em, but I love it. And yes, my 18 year old Celica is significantly faster than my 8 year old RS, going to be doing a 185 motor swap and some other work on it over christmas break, hopefully you guys'll be seeing it on the track soon enough.
And I've got a topmount, it's just WtA ;) It actually cools a bit better than the stock 185 intercooler, but the ST205 is the car to have. I wish we could import 'em here...
And just to stay on topic, I do remember getting in a relatively heated discussion once with an Evo owner about our cars' rally-worthiness, and the AllTrac's record is pretty decent ;) Bang for the buck-wise, it's a decent car. If anybody does ever want one, let me know, since I keep tabs on pretty much all the alltracs in the state (all 3 or 4 of them.. lol) and I can let you know when one goes up for sale ;)
dozer54321 12-09-2006, 02:32 AM yeah i saw the black one for sale on craigslist, i want one bad, but it will be my girls daily so it needs to be reliable, after the new year and christmas :( ill be selling the vic so i need to make up my mind with what i will be buying her to drive, she drives like a bat out of hell sometimes, its great
connenti 12-09-2006, 02:39 AM Hahah Kiwi FTW

Lol.. if it's the black 185 that was for sale a little while ago in Chandler I've talked to the past 3 owners of that car :P Woulda been a good one though. Sadly, with turbo AWD cars that old, there will always be at least some reliability issues
Fhqwhgads 12-09-2006, 03:25 AM Lol.. if it's the black 185 that was for sale a little while ago in Chandler I've talked to the past 3 owners of that car :P Woulda been a good one though. Sadly, with turbo AWD cars that old, there will always be at least some reliability issues
Don't listen to DangerViking... he pushes all-tracs on EVERYBODY. You know the saying, "misery loves company."
:lol: :devil:
azredevo 12-09-2006, 03:54 AM hey! i'm talkin to you on azawd! thx for the advice. i'll save my 60 hard stolen dollars.
dozer54321 12-09-2006, 04:35 AM Hahah Kiwi FTW
she goes by kiui on this board

yes it is, and as expected, i figured the main thing would be a turbo rebuild and engine seals
WgnWheel 12-09-2006, 01:08 PM yes it is, and as expected, i figured the main thing would be a turbo rebuild and engine seals
you would be wrong! i officially banned the all-trac from my house! it was being worked on too much. honestly, i love all-tracs, one of the first good awd turbo cars...but today they need lots of maintanence, and can be very difficult to work on/get parts.
Dangerviking 12-09-2006, 01:56 PM lol no, you banned it because I dumped 5 quarts of oil on your driveway when my turbo feed lines weren't tight ;) Thankfully now I have my own garage to make a mess in. And that 185 was in pretty good shape, might have needed a turbo rebuild eventually but last time I rode in it, it seemed pretty good. They are kind of a pain to get parts for though, waiting 2 1/2 months for Koni to build the shocks I needed was kind of a pain....
FATgc8 12-09-2006, 03:20 PM st205 celica ftw...i used to own a 6th gen celica and was going to do a 3sgte motor swap in it (alltrac motor) before i got my STi..theres a vid on youtube of a 600hp st205 racing a STi and a 900hp supra and the celica owns them both.. lol
Fhqwhgads 12-09-2006, 10:14 PM hey! i'm talkin to you on azawd! thx for the advice. i'll save my 60 hard stolen dollars.
I think I've met you before... I was at Surge when you came down after you just got your car... I had the electric blue Evo.
azredevo 12-09-2006, 11:29 PM my gawd that was a long time ago. or so it feels. i was gonna get a set of pads from there, but foundem online. i was still gonna get pads from surge untill I heard the price. I saved over a hundred bucks by buying it online. had it been like 20-30 difference, i woulda def. hit surge up.
