I used vacuum to clean my car this morning before going to work, thus let my X idle a bit longer than usual.

A bit off topic:
I found my X drives the best today!!
Maybe because of the weather is warm, maybe it is finally broken in( she has 580 miles currently ), maybe I let her idle a bit longer today.
But yeah! My gears shift super smooth and the X seems to be very forgiving today! Very smooth ride, no jerk feeling at all.

Gassed up...15.5 mpg. Last week was really cold ( around -10 in the morning and evening) so I let the car idle and warmup for at least 10-15 minutes before driving it. Im sure it didnt help mpgs haha

Ooh and a couple days ago I replaced my boost gauge with an Innovate mtx-d and move the wideband gauge closer to me!

I had to update my cooling fan on my 03' Evo. The weather where I live has been zero and colder and blade is old and one blade broke off took out an other one then wedged it self and stoped spinning and over heated my baby just a little bit. Luckily no block or head damage. Plus the new design is much better for air movement :-)

Changed trans fluid, transfercase fluid, and almost did the rear diff(will finish tomorrow). The transfer case did not want to take more than about .4 quarts, drove it gently for half a mile and put in the rest...weird.

Dynoed it then pulled the head and started swapping head parts and lapping valves.

Replaced my walbro 255 with a 450 made for corn.
Used the fourms post on how to mod the stock hanger to accept the larger pump.
Today will install a mill spec hfc.

After driving the Evo this past year, I noticed some lower back pain. I just made these today =D
Memory foam inside, its soft and compresses well. I made two sizes to compare to. Now its time to go for a drive!
