Biggest regret I have is not having time to do the basic check out on the evo before buying it and the alternator is bad now i've gotta waste a day installing it.

Had the car checked over fully and theres little things that will have to be replaced that I could of haggled about and gotten a few hundred takin off the total price. I guess none of that matters really cause the engine is strong and the exterior is perfect. I just hate being in the Army and never having any free time to love my car.

Seibon has hit or miss fitment. I didn't know this until I got my hood. I had always heard good things about there fitment so that's why I went with them. Its not super bad but there's a large gap on one side while the other side fits like an OEM hood. Also the hood is a cut a little short on one side (over the head light) while the driver side again sits like an OEM hood.
So it's like one side of the mold was spot on while the other side was messed the hell up.......

Bought the car with an ACT HD, hated it.. pedal pressure sucked. Switched to an exedy twin.. no complaints. Now going to get the triple conversion as I am going to running HTA 35R and 2.3, also my first IC pipes fitment sucked, forget what company though. Rocking ETS now, much better.
