You have the epic "misfiring system", it was referenced in Initial D. Its a superior stage of tuning that only 1 in 5,000 evo's came with from Nihon.... You have must have touched Lancerstuds land of the rising sun to be blessed!

Oh, apparently if you have a filter out in the open and not sheilded the fans mess with the MAF and you get a crazy rough idle. So the filter has to be isolated from any disturbances like that. I have the Injen intake and hadn't had any issues.

Anybody have a set of evo 8 halogen headlights that they want to sell. I want to send my headlights over to Lightwerkz for a tsx retrofit but can't have a week without headlights since the evo is my only car :/

Finally replaced the dead OEM battery with this little number tonight: it requires some lengthening of a ground wire and the factory looms will need some cleanup at a later date.





Comparison to OEM


Installed (stolen image, was too tired with midterms to take photos)



http://www.tristatebattery.com/produ...roducts_id=975


Cost breakdown:
Tray: $50 from ebay (shipped)
Battery: $64.95
Terminals: $20 (felt stupid paying 1/3 the cost of the battery for 2 posts)
--------------------------------
Total cost: $134.95 shipped, no tax

Additional cost: Battery Tender plus: $43



Car drives better than it has in the past year, the factory battery must have been damn near dead for so long. It actually quite shocking how much of an improvement in driving, idling, pulling and even between shift rpm drop this battery has made.

I have no idea why somebody would pay the $200 some of these tray's are going for, and then $130ish for the Braile (rebranded DEKA) battery.
