OEM filters are pre-greased

Oh yea, my contribution to the thread: Today I had to listen to a guy say "Finally, I get a ride in the Rex (as in WRX)." He then asks me if I'm running a K04 turbo as we are getting in the car. I just pointed at the Mitsu logo and, once everything was warmed up, ripped through 2nd and 3rd. He was happy

Bought a Bushcur Racing Race Core intercooler and talked to my man Raif about a build for this winter!

yeah I forgot about that. I've only changed the oil in my Evo one time. I just changed all the drivetrain fluids in the car and I was surprised to see they come greased. OEM FTW

Got one of these so I can do more "building" instead of "buying"

Did my timing belt and found my Cosworth M2 MIVEC intake cam has some abnormal wear on it. Took it out for inspection and will most likely send it in.

Can anyone advise if it'll be alright if I run my stock intake cam in the meantime with a 272 exhaust cam?

Any brand aluminum polish should work. I used Mothers aluminum polish, worked pretty good!
