Its so hard to tell wether or not a car was actually stock all of its life anymore. Look at the back of the radiator and see if you see any fins bent like he swapped out the turbo. Granted, he wouldn't need to do anything else to the car other than the switch and a little tuning and he could have ran E-85 on the stock turbo or something. Use it for autocross or something, who knows.

People do random stuff to their cars...

 

what is this thing in the ashtray?

 

Thats a darn good question. Maybe it was just a mount of some sort? Possibly for a gauge or wideband monitor?

 

thats the same thing I was thinking, the guy had some sort of boost gauge or turbo timer device sitting there. I'll find out once I see if any wires are somehow connected....

 

could be a mount, also looks like it might be an extra 12v socket with a dummy plug in it. i don't know, it's really strange looking.

maybe it's the switch for the naawwzzzzzz

 

 

I was thinking ejection seat...

 

I am finally finishing wiring up all these gauges. Thank God. I have been putting it off for a while and trying to enjoy some free time but I can't take seeing her sit in the garage anymore.

Those of you who hooked up your WB O2 and gauge what power source did you use? Some of these, like mine (the AEM UEGO) have an auto 0 calibration when you start up. So the power source needs to be constant even during cranking. It seems like all the fuses and sources in the cabin fuse panel are disconnected during cranking, and I am really hesitant to tap into any of the wires coming from the ignition itself. So, fish a wire through the firewall or is there a safe source inside?

Thanks for the help.

 

I bought a turbo timer harness and tapped my power off it, no cutting / splicing stock wiring and its a constant 12v source under cranking.

Plus its a nice plug/play setup...just pop off the steering column cover and plug it in, connect the power wire to the wideband and your done.

 

 

Love that gif!!!

 

Who had the gg ix mr driving through southside by cheesecake factory. Me and the gf were at a ped xing breaking our necks staring at you and your car full of people

 

isnt 24K a lot for that 06 evo mr? you can get an 08' gsr for like 26ish with prob lower miles

 

A ix that has been unmolested and well cared for will fetch more then a similarly equipped X because for some reason EVO buyers prefer the IX to the X. IX GSR and MR's fetch about the same money with the RS kind of an oddball.

 

I agree. I have watched many people shell out that and maybe a little more for a clean IX with low miles. Many think (I really don't) that the value will go up over time because it is the last true 4G63 platform. However, time and time again, people get top dollar for their clean low mile IX's and others who just bought their 08 X's are struggling to get what they owe on it.
