From dsm to evo...

I sold my 98 2.3 auto fully built talon a month or so ago, and I replaced it with another sweet toy. Here she is, I got it a few days ago shipped from chicago. I finally have an evo, and I'm gonna do everything right the first time. It needs a new AC condensor and tires, but afer that it should be good to go!

Here's what it has now:
Evo8 JDM MR headlights
Painted Tails
JDM Evo 9 Rear bumper
Shorty ant
Leather, Sunroof , and Infinity Sound W/ Sub
Apexi turbo timer
Apexi Safc-2 ex
Apexi Power Intake
TurboSmart MBC
Sard R2D2 BOV
Test-pipe
Jic Cat-back
Car is on MR blisten W/ Swift springs


And here's what I have ordered (or have already), waiting for a day that I'm not busy:
new front bumper
slotted front rotors
brakes all around
Neisi 3" intercooler and licp
No name UICP
HKS BOV
Kelford 272 cams
AEM EMS
OEM timing belt kit
FIC 1350cc injectors
wally 255 x2
cobalt series autometer gauges
AEM wbo2
AEM 3.5 map
fuelab fuel filter
Small battery kit
AC condensor
whiteline roll center adjustment kit
Polk sub and door speakers
Alpine head unit
Pillar dual gauge pod
Here's the pics (and some of the parts just sitting in my house):








Got some more parts in too, I just need to find time to install em:
Neisi fmic on the left vs my old apexi intercooler:


3" no name downpipe. I need to take the top flange out a little more, as its only 2.75 up there


all new mitsu timing components


AEM EMS


Small battery kit


Let me know what you think so far. I'm planning on running 11's this year (if I can get to the track) and high 10's next year. Debating if I should go t3 or not, but for right now it looks like the FP black has my ticket so far.

Skip the AEM EMS and read up on what can be done with the stock ECU. Also, do a Omni 4-bar MAP sensor instead since it's a direct fit replacement for the stock 1-bar and only needs a quick table change in the stock ECU.

Thanks guys. Ya I decided since I'm selling my race car that I should get some extra mods to do to it. I knew Id probably be bored with it if I kept it stock. Hopefully everything's going to go pretty smooth. The guy who owned it before me put in an exedy stage 1 clutch, when should I expect this to go out lol?

Alright guys I need some help.

I got in a fender bender and my front headlight needs replaced. I was going to order the headlight, but it's $700 for just one headlight! And I dont have the ballast anymore, just a big hole where I need a headlight to be.

My question is, besides the headlight itslef, what else do I need in order to make it fit back in there, a ballast, bulb, etc???

Any help would be awesome. Thanks

Also, is there headlights I can buy that will fit in there with no wiring needed? I'd be interested in just getting some hid lights in there and calling it a day too

Thanks
