Hey guys, finally got my dents fixed and while I had it up at Baierl getting the dents fixed I told them to do the reflash. Which they claimed wasn't out yet but I told them it was and eventually they found it on their computer after many excuses. It made a HUGE difference in power at the top end. For those of you that test drove one I'm sure you noticed how it lost all its power after about 5500-5800 rpm but now it pulls hard all the way till redline. For anyone that gets an X make sure the flash has been done. I know someone on here did a Dyno test before and after and netted a 15 hp increase at the wheels with just a flash.

so mitsu put out their own reflash for the X already? that's pretty damn nifty.

yeah the a/f ratio was awful so it was causing idling issues and some people were stalling out. It only affected the earlier models before a certain vin number. I'm assuming they just remapped the a/f ratio to cure the idling problems which in turn gave us more hp. Free hp FTW!

Well its a sad day for me.....I had to let the evo go - just couldn't afford it anymore. Now I get to drive this car, it basically sucks but least it gets me to work/home and it was cheap.




I hope it can at least auto-x decent.......

So are there any big shows/meets/races/events coming up this summer? I want to make more of an effort to come back home and hit this stuff up on weekends. I remember there used to be HIN and Import Fusion back in the day but its been a while since I have been out there for car events. Just wanted to touch base with you guys...

Nice try travman!!! you pulled this shat last time you wrecked at apple bees!!! and needed the dents taken out

I bet you are having a mod put on that requires your car to go under the knife for a day or so, and you got stuck with this stinky rent a car!!!

I have a good memory, in fact the car you said you bought was a hyundai elantra or something

supras are still bad A$$ in my book... the value they hold is just retarded. KBB'd a 95 with like 50,000 miles and it was like $29000 and a 97 with 30K and it was worth $35,900 WTF!?!? it was brand new only $39.000

Prices are starting to drop finally thanks to the large gap from tokyo drift till the new one coming out in 09


As for the yellow evo, i wish they made that color in the USA for 2006.. i kinda miss it

I didn't "wreck" just had a slight mishap at 2 mph and no other cars were involved.....

ah the elantra how i miss thee - the stratus just doesn't have the kick the elantra had - but roomier for sure.

The car is at mitsu for warranty work will be back in 3 days - a very very long 3 days!!!!
