Congrats on the 08 GSR, and welcome back. I'll let the other members chime in on the maintenance schedule at 50k.

If your interested in a local event here's one coming up next month:

Check for oil leaks around the timing chain cover. From the factory some didn't get sealed right and tend to leak. Had to have mine done at 24k and its been running strong ever since.

congrats and enjoy.

 

welcome back.

 

Good to have you back!

 

When I mean "back to mitubishi" my first car was a 90 gsx with a 20g. HAHA.

Ok today is the first day I got the car . some things right away i wanna change are:

Front lisence plate!! Its gotta go..

the black trim around the doors gotta go

shift knob..

 

OEM shift knob is garbage. Go with a weighted one. I went with TWM.

 

The one i got looks like a freakn revolver wheel..

 

Welcome back! I also rock a TWM shift knob, nice crisp shifts!

 

Welcome back to the dark side.

 

haha

 

Welcome, I've got a longer AMS knob, supposed to be closer to wheel to reduce time/distance on/off wheel. Not so sure I'm picking up .00001 sec's on shifts, but it looks pretty cool....
