Just picked up 2003 Tarmac Black

Hey guys, I just recently picked up a 2003 Tarmac Black Mitsubishi Evolution. Ive been searching long and hard for the right one and after finally selling my SRT-4 ( which will be missed ), I got my hands on this. It has just about 70k miles on it got it for 15,500. The car is mint, with mods including intake, Greddy RS BOV, MagnaFlow Turboback Exhaust, Wastegate Dump, Engine Dampeners, Hard Intercooler piping, and a tune for 21 PSI AFR's a little rich around "10.0"WOT. These have always been one of my dream cars and I finally got the chance to own one. I look forward to continue modding and taking care of my new toy, and also making some new friends on here. Here are some Pics!
I have a code P0507 though and need it inspected. Whats the fix?

Future Mod plans are: Set of cams, Street Tune from ECS Performance, Rear Vortex Generator.

Any routine maintenance I should expect to do in the near future? I plan on changing oil, TC fluid and Transmission Fluid soon. Any particular brand run best? The car also idles quite high getting to about 1500RPM's steady and falling back down and so forth.

Yeah, that's not an X, lol. Nice looking car, though, I love that black.

BTW, mint usually means untouched, lol.

What He said ^^ Its easy. Just grab a Knife or a hammer and stick it in between the badge, hold the handle of the knife or hammer with one hand while behind the badge, and pound it down with the other one till it comes off.


Or you can get a blow drier heat it up and just use a credit card or something.

Heat it up and pull it off with a set of pliers. No chance of scratching it this way.
