After a simple plug change and having some small issues, and reading this thread, I think I'll leave my EVO stock

Just going to do all the routine stuff to it and drive it!

It was on my old DSM but an open o2 dump was one of the most annoying decisions I ever made lol.. It was cool for about 5 seconds but every time you hit WOT its like you lost your entire exhaust -_-

Short shifter

I installed a short shifter can't remember the brand ever since then I have been getting a "lockout" when initially putting the car into gear after parking I literally had to jam it into gear. I have also noticed that there was a fifth gear grind. I figured it was time to change my fluids.
I spent 300+ dollars on fluid changes tranny tc and rear diff and no change. I finally starting backtracking to when it started. A light bulb when off. I took the short shifter out and put the stock on back in, and what do you know problem solved. Has anyone had this problem before?

I already showed you how to fix these. Guess your just on here to cry. These gauges are legit when installed properallly.

My regret is megan o2 housing... Comparing it to stock it almost looks smaller.

You don't know what good it is but still want it?

There are some easy search threads on the issue - pulled up one in seconds ~ https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...liminator.html

But don't do it if someone told you it's something you can do and you don't know **** about how it will achieve your goals on the car. This is why it becomes a 'Modification Regret' later on,

Clutch when I got all my bolt ons and tune... I'm pretty sure all the dyno time on the new clutch killed it longevity as it's gone
