I want to go check out the new AWD dyno in Indy!

 

be prepared for at least 6 hours of labor on the tranny! i don't know why mitsu made it a pita!

easiest way is to drop or lower as much as possible your cross bar if you want to completely pull your xfer case

 

Oh I expect it to take much longer than that at my lazy weekend rate. I am planning on fulling dropping the crossbar (steering rack and all). Just to make it easiest to get up under there.

 

Its not bad, just remember its kinda like a puzzle, somethings just wont fit unless put back on in proper order. I have had mine out 4 or 5 times now, gets easier every time.

 

i think i asked before but... does anyone have any pointers about taking the rear bumper off? i found a thread on here but i was looking for some visuals and its pics didn't work for me. i'm sure i can figure it out but i was just wanting to make it as quick and painless as can be. i have evo 7 tails comming also because i think you have to remove the tail lights to take the bumper off anyway. i'm now trying to decide if i want to get the 7 hood and front bumper. does anyone make it south of indy ever? if so... there is a oktoberfest thing going on in my town tonight (oct. 6). they close off the streets and stuff. food venders polka music and bier.

 

d**n - the oktoberfest would have been fun. gotta love german towns!

 

it wasn't bad I think the food was a bit too pricey. But dollar beers at the beer garden was pretty fun. I got my jdm 9 rear today. I think I'm going to attempt the install this weekend. I hope my 7 tails get here before then so I can do it all at once.

 

I need to have my clutch replaced on my 03 Evo. Any idea on how many hours labor this should be at a shop. I'm on the north side (Fishers) so any suggestions on good shops. The shop I called in Carmel said 10 hours at $78/hr, does that sound reasonable?

 

From what I read, and having been through it now myself, I would say 10 hours is a fair estimate. Its a big job!

 

for those who know me,

the car actually turned over saturday! i think i was doing something wrong with the aem and i am going to try to get it a little more situated by the weekend, so hopefully it will be at least a little drivable by then and i will need to get my car scheduled for dyno tuning!

 

Thats awesome! Its always nice for it to fire up once its in!

 

can't wait to see that thing run.

 

going to try again to load up the computer tonight... wish me luck!~

 

good luck

 

got my jdm 9 bumper and 7 tails on this weekend. can't wait for my New new wheels to get here. there any kind of meets soon? i remember on here someone said when it gets cooler more people meet up. 05graphite, did you get your computer worked out?
