Sure did! Thanks man! Im still waiting on my paint to come in so that I can match the wing and lip. Im thinking about redoing the hood at some point as well. The hood is actually paint matched carbon fiber. However you can see the carbon weave pattern in the glare of the paint at some angles. Nothing major just kinda bugs me lol. It needs Aero catch hood latches too. At high speeds or when the HKS blow off valve lets off 20psi you can see the hood want to lift. Scares me a bit...

Dont wanna post up without some new pics.

"Mitsubishi"

 

Good stuff

 

God i love the wingless look!

 

Very nice, I'd look into some new wheels and maybe a rear lip to go onto that trunk. Have fun with it!

 

Thank you guys very much!

I didnt like the wheels much at first. But they have sort of grown on me now. I really like the stance. With 15mm spacers they are flush with the fenders. Only downside is that these wheels are SUPER heavy when compared to my 14 pound Motegi's on my RA. If I changed anything with the wheels right now I think i would like to have some factory BBS wheels.

I need to take my Rexpeed spoiler off and get it cleaned up and paint matched. And I hope I have enough paint to do the same with the front lip. That'll probably end up being a winter project as soon as I get my garage cleaned up.

There is a place in town that does powder coating. Im thinking about getting a quote on coating my calipers, strut bar, valve cover, and power brace in white. Feeling like white accents would look good on the dark gray of the car.

 

car is coming along great nice man

 

Good jump bro, jealous

 

Thanks guys! I appreciate it.

The Evo has gone under the knife for a little bit. Trying to sort out some problems and get some changes made to keep her healthy for a while.




Really liked this pic. I bought an Evo VIII turbo when I wanted to boost my Ralliart. Here it is next to my IX turbo.

 

After checking out your pics again I definitely feel like some different wheels would fit the car better but if you like them I say stick with it! Besides it doesn't make sense spending money on wheels if you have other things to take care of under the hood. Keep us updated.

 

They're alright. Like I said they grew on me. Definitely not something I would have bought. But they arent bad. Plus with the 15mm spacers I like the way they sit. If I end up keeping them. I'd like to have them disassembled and re-powder coated. Probably with black, and a freshly polished lip.

Im not having much luck figuring out whats wrong with her. Although I havent had much time to spend in the garage either. I need to get out there tonight and do the leak down test. Im hoping and praying it isnt the rings... If it is my wife is going to hate me when I tell her Im rebuilding it with a different engine. No point in rebuilding the 2.0l when I want a 2.4l block anyway...

 

Good parts list!

 

Great car

 

Don't get me wrong the wheels are not horrible. I have been considering powder coating the wheels on my Lancer black but wasn't sure. The black just seems so common, however if done right it looks sweet.

Good luck convincing wifey about the rebuild, hopefully you wouldn't have to.

 

So...

I was working on the Evo last night. Took off the valve cover and accidentally caused my phone to fall off the workbench and onto the concrete floor. This spiderweb cracked the glass screen...

But when I turned around to look back at the engine I noticed something didnt look the way I expected it to.




Apparently Ive got Tomei cam shafts! Awesome!

 

Nice find! Sorry to hear about your phone lol
