I have a buddy that fabricates off road trucks and he modified the rear crash beam. ill dig up the pictures tomorrow and pm you them if youre interested.

 

#Facepalm. Wow!! In a world we live in--stance is glorified. mudflaps and very light towing is frowned. Help us.

 

Ill be picking up some mud flaps soon. Probably the Rally Armor ones.

 

i also love the way those rims fit his car

 

thanks man. I was trying to be a little different. I could only find a handful of 8-9 evos with these wheels. Big pita on fitment over the brembos because of the concave though.

 

Ok so what wheels and offset and size is that? looks great

 

Uhhh

The DSM, The Mighty Max, the galant, the Colt, the Mirage. Yeah they were all lower end vehicles, but **** they are all reliable. Before anyone gets on about DSMs breaking all the damn time. That is entirely the cheap *** owner's faults. I have had 5 now, and only 1 kersploded on me due straight up freak accident. The other 4 where all 160k+ and completly reliable. the 1.8l engine is freaking bulletproof, so are the 1.5s in the mirages.

 

I had a '98 GST for 2 years. Spent more on maintainance than the car payment. While I may not be baller enough for a porsche, spending $7,000 on general repair and maintainance over 2 years on a car with less than 60K miles is out of my price range.

I'm sorry, but I cannot make a recommendation to any friend to buy a non-evo Mitsubishi product.

That being said, my evo has been mostly bullet proof and I enjoy the hell out of it. It's the ONLY car that if it were to be totaled, i'd want to use the insurance money to find the exact same car, rather than upgrading or moving on.

 

Sounds like you had a used an abused Eclipse. You could have basically brand new 2g for that.

 

Bought it used from a Mitsubishi dealership (in Indianapolis) with warranty and only 30K on the clock.

Mitsubishi here in Seattle promptly denied every repair through loopholes and I took the business elsewhere.

Not sure what you're trying to prove here? The car "should" have been fine, especially with the extended warranty and limited mods (Intake and exhaust). Mitsubishi designed, built and serviced the car in a less than respectable mannor.

Therefore my opinion of Mitsubishi is valid, first hand, and comprehensive. We could also go into Mitsubishi voiding Evo owners warranties, going to track events to log license plates and the like. But none of those activities would counter my statements about Mitsubishi.

However, BACK ON TOPIC!

 

damn those gold calipers look sick. I've been tossing around a few ideas on color and i thought I had my mind made up until I saw those...

 

That's exaclty what I am doing at the moment, but instead of using insurance money (the chap who hit me ran off and couldn't find him), I am using my own money to fix my car to its former glory. Painful...but I am willing to, becasuse it's my most beloved EVO

 

i feel better about my situation now. i got hit by a german 2 weeks before shipping the car back to the states. his insurance company is only paying 70% of the costs to fix because they say i parked to high on the curve of the road. since when does an insurance company get to make that call?

 

^ and why 70%??? It's their fault or yours...

 

that's why I carry uninsured motorist insurance, he can run and I still don't have to pay.
