Anyway, here's my sad excuse for a contribution. Somehow I've sunk all kinds of time and effort into this thing, it has less than 400mi. on it, and all I have is about 4 pictures!

Without further adue...

Day 1: Perrin Exhaust installed


BTW, this is an incredible exhaust-nice snarl on start-up, a moderate little growl to it during acceleration, and a smooth, sophisticated howl at higher engine speeds - just what I was hoping for!

Day 7: Swift Springs installed


So far-great! (I'm glad I didn't go with Eibach after all! I high-center in and out of the driveway something fierce as it is...especially with the Perrin V-band clamp hanging low in the center!)

Also, I've installed a set of Rexspeed Fender Heat Extractors (as seen in second photo), I have a set of Rexspeed Front Bumper Ducts which will be installed somewhere down the line, and a CF Meter crown overlay.

I'm lovin' the interior - especially the smooth center console with the articulating doors covering the cupholder and two cubbyholes.
I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the trunk lip spoiler at first, but especially after throwing the Swift springs on, it's just what I'm looking for!

Nice ride.

Did you get an alignment done after the Swift spring install?

I have to say Mitsu really payed attention to what older folks wanted and I am really digging all the nice features

Ask and you shall receive!
Amazing seats!

Heated seats! See the switches?

I have the passenger seat all the way back; but there is more than enough back leg room normally! The guys at everyday drive say the EVO has a betterbackseat than a 3 series!

They listened to someone and I'm grateful.

After 10 years with 3 Audi's and 2 BMWs, I never thought I'd be going EVO.

I'll be in an MR Touring, not soon enough though.

37 yo dad that tracks, AutoXs and Karts.....

side note, Boston Eagle, where you from ?
I'm in LA now but born and raised in Andover/North Reading area.

Nice work Mitsu !!

Hey guys can someone help me with a question I have? When I bought my car the dealer offered to install an exhaust for me...they recommended the Ultimate Racing Dual Exit (catback).

When I told some of my friends (who have 08 GSR's) they told me that I might as well get a test pipe or high flow cat because the stock cat's piping (2.5"?) doesn't bolt directly onto a 3" exhaust. The dealership is saying its a perfect fit. I'm confused

Anyone able to shed some light?

it will bolt on directly. if you dont get an aftermarket cat then the UR exhaust will have a 2.5" flange to mate to the stock cat then the UR exhaust will turn into a 3". thats why your friends are telling you to get a TP cuz aftermarket TP's are 3"

feel free to correct me pls.

Okay....I hope it really does come with a flange. My friends were talking about dealing with a stock cat being a huge pain in the a#$ because the pipes didn't match and also the heatshield was getting in the way.

I'm hoping that if the dealership installs it, they won't jimmyrig it lol

My 2010 MR Touring is in the shop getting some more upgrades (AMS intercooler and lower/upper piping, fuel pump and injectors). We have been having problems with fitting a Do-luck lip on the front end. On the second one already with No-luck.

Has anyone tried putting a non-oem front lip on their car? We are taking measurements today, but it seems the front end is different than prior years by a half centimenter to full centimeter somewhere.
