We will talk about fluids tomorrow. I have it written down what we need.

If I can take part of Friday off it should be no big deal...I can take everything apart on Friday, work on it on Saturday, finish it Sunday.

Saturday I can prolly help the Pauls and Sunday we can do fluids as well... We shall see...

I don't wanna be a pain and take up your time, I am sure I can handle it solo.

yeah fluids don't take too long. i did it on my celica a few times. the only reason it took some time was b/c i used a funnel/plastic line which was very thin and the fluid is pretty thick. with a manual pump it shouldn't be that bad.

i don't think this really costs that much tho... how much are the fluids?

i cost me like 30 bucks for the fluild for my celica. i cant imagine the evo costs more than 3 times that which isn't bad. esp considering mitsu would probably want quite a bit more.

i would get a dishsoap bottle, wash it out really well (i think dawn would work well because of the shape) and use it to squirt the fluid in. that's what i did for my rear diff.

actually the nice thing about the funnel/tube approach is if you set it up right you can pretty much fill it up and walk away while it drains in.

Got the new filter, oil, and plugs already waiting. Air filter should be here, along with new 255 lph fuel pump on friday.

I am generally not worried about the boost fluid. I will be unplugging my turbo for teh tune. I don't want to put it through that much stress

As for suspension, I will be running cut springs and 100 spoke gold Daytons
