Hey Joe, now that you graduated, and are finally out of college, your formally invited to next years Winged Warrior event. See my post, it is at IRP. no excuses this time!

 

Awesome, what a great memory you have. Is it under the midwest section?

 

I am not sure, click on my cartoon, and search my posts. I will make sure I come and get you this time. If My clutch is in, I will be at waterford hills next weekend running with the cobra club. will let you know. I will keep you posted on the May events anyway later. just look up Winged warrior at IRP: road course followed up by Night Drags! still IMPORT VS DOMESTICS!!!!

Did they not make you watch the video nor explain the break-in procedure with you when you bought it? If not, they were severely delinquent, and I would be curious what else they failed to tell you.

Anyway, the prescribed Mitsu-specific break-in procedure is not to go over 5K rpm (not 4k) for 600 miles. No full boost and don't go all 600 miles in the same gear at the same speed. Be sure to break in the brakes at the same time by going easy on them with slow stops...

 

thanks a lot i feel welcomed!..ive been lurkin on these forums for months looking up evo stuff and now i finally own 1 !!!!!

 

Welcome, and enjoy My best advice is start saving for a clutch Seriously though be easy on it, take care of it and you will be happy with it.

 

What video is this? I never heard of a Mitsubishi break in video. Is there a way to get a copy of this?
