So an update from my recent purchase of the scan gauge II. I am in absolute love with this thing. Has been giving me so much info and is really cool. Just started trying out the trip gauge stuf that monitors your gas mileage and a bunch of stuf like that. But is absolutely fantastic! It has a gauge setting for your volts and stuff and even one for your horsepower. So automatically I was curious what I was throwing down. In a few days I was averaging 128hp at redline. A couple days ago my car basically reset itself and acted like the negative terminal wasn't hooked up, has happened like 6 times since I've had the car and I don't know what the hell that is making it do that. But anyway, I decided I wanted to take a trip cross town a little bit ago and from the car basically resetting itself, I was getting new numbers for my horsepower. After about 10 Minutes of running around and getting the same numbers every time I am amazed. It says I am pushing 155hp now. I don't know how it jumped so much but it has to do with the car resetting. The car does feel like it is pulling a lot more and I'm loving it lol. But just thought I would share that stuff with u guys because I'm amazed with this scan gauge and my car right now.
As far as the mustang. I loved it, the power was insane in it and when I changed it to a Barton short throw and bushing. Best shifting car I ever owned. That being said, they are killing off the evo and I always wanted one, plus every teenager has the new 5.0 and I never see evos on the road. In 10yrs I'd get maybe 11k for the stang where I could still get around 20k for the evo. If I would have sprung for the Laguna seca when I bought one. Or the super snake. I'd probably have it forever lol. If I get rid of the evo it would have to be for something like a gt-r

I love the car, the only issue is the way the shift pattern is designed. But I'll be changing the cable bushings and shifter soon. The thing I like the most is the responsive handling.

Well this was more yesterday, but I re dupped the lower part of my front bumper black again. Angled it a bit as to sorta follow the line of the lower grille. I really liked it. I also did it on my buddies Mazda speed3. Looks really good.
U can find the pics in my thread, if u wanna see it that is.

daughter was home. the hose attachment point at the top of the lower radiator hose, where it goes onto the themostat housing has been seeping. replaced both hoses and the t stat yesterday, but even after cleaning the crud off of the housing, the thing still seeps. I even double clamped it and still it seeps. design flaw? seems like it it tapered and so when the hose slides on, it leaves a gap.

will be curious to see how the VX spoiler fits....have read that the ones of the EVO wont fit the ls models. I have not found one that lists the es or ls as fitting. something different about the roof on Evo.
