Installed a new iacv.It's better now but revs still go sky high after WOT and clutch engaged.

Forked over $700 bucks for a new bumper and lip. God. Damnit.

Cried like a bish because someone keyed it... :(

Where did this happen? And did you piss anybody off lately?

Oil, Plugs, some cleaning in prep for car show over the weekend, more cleaning to continue tomorrow

New tint went on the car today..old stuff was garbage......rexpeed VG in the trunk waiting to go on, spent last night detailing/waxing the door jambs and trunk area.....:lol:

next up - a bit of restoration on the weatherstripping to bring back the black....

Went WOT finally, new clutch is broken in so I ran thru the gears a few times.

Came out of work at lunch, looked like the evo lost the war with a flock of birds, spent the hour cleaning up the sh-t.

Practiced my tinting skills with the left over roll I had. Did 35% on the headlights, side markers, and tail lights, then the headlights of 2 gti's and a 350z. Came out nice.

Ashtray wideband mount
 

Sticking with a stock appearing interior, I decided to install my Innovate LC-1 wideband in the ashtray, completely out of sight when not needed. I have seen gauges mounted on top of the ashtray before, not inside, and I thought this was a pretty clever little spot.

Some might think that this is a bad location as it is not in my direct line of sight while driving. I have been tuning my DSM for a few years now and a wideband is not something I'm looking at all the time. I usually only look at it when I doing a pull just to verify that it still matches my log. When I need to do that I'll just pop open the ash tray and take a glance. I'm very happy with the way it turned it.

I only cut out the hump in the ashtray and the light under it.

I started a thread on this here if anyone is interested: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/in...l#post10151854

I repainted my wheels (well so far two of them). The previous owner had painted them black but there where lots of runs and imperfections. I also painted the Mitsubishi symbol in the center caps red and added a white Enkei sticker.

New plugs (Laser Iridiums) after 70k on the originals. Oil change from M1 to Rotella T6 with a new OEM filter. One thing I don't get? 1G of T6 is 3.9L or thereabouts. I poured it all in, but got a second expecting to need to top it off. After the one jug, the oil level is right above the top notch so I think I'm good but was just expecting to need more.

I installed my vortex generator,3k yellow foglights, power washed the engine. Shes a beauty:)

fought off the temptation to order a toxicfab manifold

Jesus, that thing is murdered-out. LOL looking good!
