this is a last 4 days in 1, replace the radiator with a koyo half size, diy cop installed, and the least fun balance shaft belt replaced.

Washed her up !

 

Checked tire pressure. Got fuel, added a little oil. Did some donuts in an undisclosed location, drove to work.

 

"""MEXICO"""

 

9 turbo and e85 tune done on my Evo 8. Such a big difference from the stock 9.8 and pump gas. Definitely feels like a new car!

 

Ordered some Brad Penn 5w-30 since temps have been 40 and below lately along with filter and a Mishimoto magnet oil drain plug.

 

I plugged in the trickle charger. I need a better e85 tune so it's not such a pain to drive in the winter.

 

lol yeah mine has a great tune on it but still doesn't like these sub-40 temps. But once it warms up it does fine for the most part, it's just at idle that it sputters a little bit.

 

Maybe my tune is fine then. Car runs great when it warms up. I'm guessing the higher compression pistons are made to make the e85 cars more friendly when the temps drop.

 

Ditched my Hella horns and went to a Fusion horn set (deep/loud). Relocated them to the passenger headlight area too (still need to aim them to prevent water entry).

Currently test fitting some driving lights in the upper grill to see if I can make shiat visible at night.
