April 4th updates:
Wheel/tire combo balanced and installed. Car looks nice now. Pics to come.
RRM camber bolts arrived. Still in the orignal box from the company they resell them from. I'm half tempted to check and see how much profit RRM got on the re-sell...
Purchased a set of EBC Redstuff pads from an EvoM member. Should arrive today; no timeline on install for those. Didn't actually NEED them, but I tend to snag stuff that's on EvoM for cheap...
Works springs and swaybar are sitting there tempting me. Hope to install soon...
Removed my intake, PUT IT TOGETHER CORRECTLY, and reinstalled. I've been driving around for the last 3k miles with the box incorrectly assembled. That really explains why the drop-in filter was such a volume change.
Changed the oil, hit 15k miles. Yee-freaking-haw.

Pics can be found in the install threads and review thread in the wheel/tire section.I'm not spending much on car parts. But there are some things I need. A car that handles sporty is a need for me. That's what tax refunds are for.
Yeah, 15k in a year is about normal for me. Fiancee lives 37 miles away, so that helps...

Turtle Wax Ice - http://www.turtlewax.com/main.taf?p=2,1,1,1
Nothing amazing, but it seems to do an "OK" job.

I washed the car, + clayed it and waxed it too today.
I used turtle wax paste (the green paste).
Removed some scratches with Quixx Scratch remover and did an OK job in removing rock chips from the hood with touch up paint + polisher.
I'm tired!

Is this directed to me? If so, let me know what you're talking about. This has been a long thread. I can get pics of whatever you want/need/request.
My car? I don't know how. I haven't done anything to make it Evo-like except maybe the wheels. What's the problem exactly?
