Bought my first EVO today - '05 MR!!!!!!

It's silver. Looks killer sitting still! Can't wait to start the upgrades after responsible break in. Heard from Vishnu today to put mineral oil in immediately??????

Need reclining race seats, 4pt belts, harness/roll bar, and wider rims. What and where do I start for all this???? All forum members with helpful tips appreciated....and even those without tips. Thanks.

A lot of people ditch synthetic oil and throw in dino oil for break-in only.

It's interesting that you have tuners recommending dumping synthetic oil for regular oil for break-in, but Mitsu with all it's billions (exaggeration) of dollars in research and testing thought it fine to keep synthetic oil in our engines for the break-in. Sorry-way off topic-congrats on a sweet car!

Congrats on the car. If you do searches on this site, you will probably find alot of the stuff that you are looking for. I found some really good deals here. I also used google and ebay to find items that I could not find on Evom. You should also check out evolutionmr.net

Also, you can check with kmxxbadboy, on EvoM or EvoMR. His MR set up is really nice, and he has some of the things you've mentioned.
