Update on The Evo

So my car has been down for like 2 months with a bad transfer case for the 2nd time. While it was down I decided to do a few things. I got rid of all the worthless Prosport gauges that came with the car and put in useful gauges, AEM Uego, oil press, and Egt. I also retrofitted the taillights to look like Evo 7 tails. 3 weeks ago I sent the tcase to shep and had them do a Stage 1 Rebuild. Got everything put in and working last week, I missed this thing so much. Next on the list is to get a new front bumper or fix my current one and get a good tune on the car. Heres some pics of the car now.

It lasted probably 5k miles I was told it had 800 miles on it when i bought it. I bought it used off someone on here and it had a bad seal at the tail shaft but I didn't catch it in time before I ran it low. I don't think the guy I bought it from knew it leaked because he didn't have it in his car long before he parted it out so no hard feelings there. Either way I went with the Stage 1 because that was my cheapest option. I was hoping for the $350 rebuild but ended up have to spend almost $1200 It emptied my bank account lol.
