Another plus to this car is the front lsd, i can not believe how the car wants to just eat up the curves.. there is a certain road i can concure by at 15 mph quicker.. once i put my tein susp. on the car it is the best car i ever drove... and for some odd reason even though my 05 has the susp. off of my 03 the car rides smooth as a caddy. the 03 a little rough on the kidneys.. this car is very comfortable to drive, and the leather seats also help.. this is nice, better handling and a softer ride..
Well i thought the car stock to stock deff. has an improv over the 03 when it comes to shifting.. just a very tiny bit of notchiness in the 05.. so at about 400 mi decided to take the clutch restrictor out.. well to my surprise mitsu didnt put on in there.. either they forgot or did away with them.. but since i was in there i drilled the hole biiger.. now the car shifts better than any car i have ever driven.. now im not telling anyone to do this.. your choice..
Now yes the car is still new, but there is not any of the creaking that the 03 had new. the interior is nice and quiet, and again the seats are great..
The motor in this car sounds better, pulls better, and has nice linear pull to it.

thanks shimla.. the rotors, brakes, struts, and 3 inch pipe, (aka exhaust) with o2 fix were the only things on during breakin.. now with 500 on the car, the e.d.f.c., turbo timer, hks evc b/c, and shift light is all that is done.. none of these parts hinder breakin, i just didnt have the time..
