2026: What Did You Do To Your Evo Today?
changed the motor oil and oil filter
Made my own shifter base and linkage bushings. Boost leak tested and found stock BOV leaking. Logged and once again found lean spool is creating knock and found 6-8 knock with 10.6-10.3 AFRs from 6700-7400 rpm. I'm loving learning about this car, ECUFlash, and EvoScan.
Did that for a year until I finally got a garage spot. Looking back it wasn't so bad, only 3 scratches on the rear bumper in the end, but here are some pro tips:
Obviously search out spots where no one can park in front or behind you, or if possible park first in a row of cars, or have a fire hydrant red zone infront of you. People are obviously most likely to hit you while backing up so that's what you should avoid, plus you don't want the front messed with anyway. If you've got an OEM US rear bumper like me then that isn't as scary.
Soon you might even develop an eye for who is the kind of person that nonchalantly bumps into cars all the time and shrugs it off, you can tell by their bumpers.

Broke the bank.
Today dropped of wheels to get refinished complete with Enkei sticker (720 for the 4). Bought Whiteline steering precision, roll center and endlinks. Put on Bilstien HD struts with new Hotchkiss suspension package and all new rubber and mounts. Ordered Nitto Invo's 245/45's. Girodisk seals to rebuilt calipers. Girodisk brake upgrade kit. Poor thing looks so sad up in the air.
I just got my wheels and Valve cover back from coating. I love the new color on them and will be getting a few more things coated soon.
Flash shows a little bit of the finish, but the Sunlight really shows it off. Its pretty close to F-Zero Blue/ Hyper Blue. Wheels use to be Mag Blue and I just didn't like that dark of color on this car. It needed something with a bit more PoP

BlackLine Ti Matte shift knob
update: I stand corrected. The BlackLine Ti shift knob is the same dimensions as ARC's.
