I use an old Mercedes car cover off one of my parents cars, doesn't fit real well with the wing being so high but it gets the job done... Not that this post helps you at all.

Mitsparts.com is the correct site. I've always found them to even better prices than Mitsubishiparts.net. I guess this wasn't the case, sorry!

After it took me an hour to get from my house to the conshohocken curve I deccided to go way out of the way to let it rip on 476S and I'm glad I did. I may have saved some time too.

Traffic has been horrendous! It's not bad enough to make me start taking the train again though.

I'm lucky not to have school buses in the way this year. However, the new traffic lights as a result of the casino on the DE waterfront is starting to bug the crap out of me!

they put a light in on 322 near me. it used to be a straight shot that linked downingtown with west chester. speed limit is 50 and it is never backed up. this light has caused a minor back up in the morning and a 2-3 mile back up in the afternoon rush hour.

it's retarded how one stupid light on a clear 8 miles stretch of road can mess up the entire thing.

Thats exactly what they did in my neighborhood. Ther reroute the casino traffic so people can turn around, and put a traffic light there...right before the on-ramp to 95!

on the bright side, i've got new tires!!!

had a bunch of extra traffic today as well, but it wasent due to school buses. Mostly halfwits in bmw's and acura's that would give their first born to be at the front of traffic.

i really want an open wastegate.

congrats on the tires. what did you get?

i concur with the wanting to be at the front of traffic thing. drives me nuts when a lane is ending and people push up the up to the front causing a huge back up. or people that muscle their way in front of you then get on the phone while opening a bag chips and brake checking every 2-3 seconds. wonderful country with live in!

in places like southern/western europe people drive right and pass left or get their rears smashed by someone doing 90+ in the left lane.

i also want an open wastegate. don't know why exactly. just the ricer in me i guess. i also want the resonator-less rear section of my exhaust.

the michelin pilot ps2's that pete gave me. They aren't new, but should have enough tread to last untill the spring. Im liking them, i can tell the grip is improved, turn-in is also nice. The 29th will give them a proper flogging.

my friend has an open wastegate on his fd (i know i keep mentioning this car :P ). Its painfully loud going through overpasses/tunnels, but it always leaves me smiling.

what do you guys do for tire rotation? i have been being cheap, but its not good for my diff

those tires should help you pax better, but I don't think you'll be able to get better than 3rd place in your class, lol. I heard Corey ripped **** up at nationals. 1st in BSP and first overall or something crazy like that... DAMN, I'm so glad we have that kind of talent in our region.

i had an open WG on my VRT back in the day... for a couple months. TO each their own, but for me it was uber annoying. Every time you went into boost it was like screaming out the window "HE LOOK AT ME, I'M SPEEDING". I had JMF do a custom re-route back into the DP and all was good again.
