So I got my Dejon Tools intake in a few days ago and figure I'll install tonight and hook up my MBC while I have everything out.
What a pain in the a$$. I was in the garage for FOUR hours. Everytime I get it almost done, I drop a ratchet/socket/screwdriver/SOMETHING and it lands in the undertray. Of course my jack is lent out and I have to take everythin gback out to reach down to get whatever it was I dropped that time.
I remember being able to rip out and reinstall the intake on my DSM in like 5 min...
It'll be just my luck to blow off an IC pipe tomorrow when setting my boost.

 

Well that doesnt sound like your EVO has anything to do with it butterfingers. Why dont you take the undertray off?

 

yeah, i have my fuse puller tool under my airbox and a 10mm ratchet head some where in the engine bay (i think it made it on the undertray or inside the bumper but i made sure it was safe away any moving parts....i just hope it rolled out while driving lol

 

yeah, yeah, yeah...

Because it functional and I don't gain anything by leaving it off.

 

You went from Mass to Ohio to get dyno'd with no MBC?

 

Ummm...dude...weight savings, yo!


Cabo

 

I went from MA to Ohio for the shoot out. The first day, Buschur has a "dyno-King" competition. I just wanted a rough idea how much I put down.

 

im guessing your stock with those numbers on the 1/4?

 

I love my EVO to death and don't plan on ever selling it, but boy ole boy have I had some bad luck since owning it-

Fan blade snapped and punctured radiator causing a leak *Mitsubishi wouldn't cover it*- but they may be correct in their thinking that road debris caused the problem.

Rock slammed into winshield causing a two foot long crack.

Nail in tire first week of ownership, nail in a bad location, tired had to be replaced.

Replacement tire was a piece of sh*t, I think the person that sold me the tire sold me a piece of sh*t. That tired eventually started to literally fall apart and had to be replaced with a used tire until I get a new set of four on Friday.

IC hose popped off, stranding me on the side of the road for 4 hours until I finally diagnosed and fixed problem. Gots to understand I know nothing about changing sh*t in cars, but I'm quickly learning with the EVO.

That's it so far I believe, although I have had a streak of bad luck, I still love and enjoy driving this car everyday.

 

Ah, ok that makes sense. Always good to have a baseline anyways.
