Give me a holler some time if you want some help with tuning. I've got a reasonably well equipped garage too.

Lol the question is for how long are you going to have that garage. I think my garage will end up being the play area soon.

Yeah I'm gonna change the oils soon. Just trying to figure out what all I need (I've never had an AWD drive car before).

We should all meet up sometime.

minimum would be:
- motor oil: mobil1 ep, amsoil, or whatever
- rear diff and tcase: lsd gear oil from mitsu, or amsoil equivalent, etc.
- tranny: 75w85 from mitsu, or amsoil equivalent

You should also inspect your brakes/brake fluid and ACD, accessory belts, and probably change out the cabin filter (behind the glove box, and I think you can get these for like $12 online somewhere). Hit up RusselM from Mitsubishiparts.net for good prices if you stick with OEM. The tranny fluid is the most expensive, but you might be able to find someone selling it for cheap on here. Good luck!

*edit - you might also want to do coolant since there is 42k. Likely never done before.
