you might as well save up and get a bushwhacker transmission to be honest. You can get a deal from mike on one i want to either get one of those or a strictly modified built tranny again. Seriously at this point kind of done with engine
mods. I'm ready to do some exterior love and seude wrapping in the evo. Need to order some rims and finally get a carbon fiber VG

it half flaked and half turned into a power it was really weird, i rubber my hand on it and it like disenegrate and turned into a powder and brushed off, i took it back off and put some paint stripper on it and took it all back off and then power washed it good but some of the paint still wouldnt come off, it still has a greyish brown tint to it, should have just left it go, if i do anything it will be header rap
