Yeah, I have the Blitz aluminum ones. I've never used another shifter that feels so good! Mitsu's design is top notch and you can certainly tell it was derived from their motorsports program.

 

yeah very impressed with the feel of it now, anyway I made some improvements to the catch can breather setup, added another breather and put larger inlets on the catch tank



here is the latest VDR run after the change

 

maybe this is why I have been having trouble with the gear selection........




welded both of them up, not sure why they need to have bonded rubber joining it together but anyway, all solid now, shifts awesome, so much better

 

bit of work since last posted

changed the gearbox breather as I didn't want E85 fumes going to it



Also had a bit of spill with the fuel and it ate the paint so I decided to pump the rear guards as they needed painting anyway

this is with a 235/40 on a +40 rim



the drivers side buckled of course



so took it to workand tidied it all up





all painted and back together I fixed the crappy guard gaps while I was at it and the fuel filler



from this



to this







waiting on my door decals





got a taiwanese CE lancer bootlid for a GT wing when racing




because I do not want to modify my OEM bootlid


will have one of these fitted to it when I get it

 

personalised plates

 

RE55s fitted to the 8 rims, will have these as my street rims with Federal 595 RS-R tyres, I am sellin the RE55s off

 

so finally got to finishing of the exhaust

bought a 3inch stainless flange



cut off the step down



welded the flange back on, my stainless welding is getting better



now the muffler sits in a bit better

 

decided to raise the wing a bit

firstly wasn't real happy with these brkts



costed up making some new struts and that was a bit stupid, more than the whole wing cost me so plan B was to replace those brackets ^^



got for nix from my friendly local sheet metal guy :thumbsup:

now sits this much higher







finished em off the next day

forgot to bring my laser cutter home so jig saw and file it was, not perfect but hey I am not either




bit of etch prime and satin black



mmm that's better

 

here it is in all it's glory, Evo 7 rims with 235/45 Yoko A050 these will be my track rims and I will be using hankook Z221 after the yokies wear out



has got good clearance after the guard work

same on both sides



needs the rear camber tho I think



and from the back



will use the Evo 8 rims for streeties



centre caps were a slightly different colour so I got them done too



have some DBA 5000 2 piece rotors and Brembo calipers coming will run Endless pads for track

 

Nice! Love the Evo 7 and 8 rims much more than the old black ones you had! Side angle shot with the wing on? There's a Voltex wing for an 8 for sale near by. I'd love to snag it so badly! Too much monies tho...

 

cheers mate, yeah I quite like the 8 ones, not a huge fan of the 7 rims but they will do for track work.

That wing I got thru a chinese company it is pretty much a copy of a GTC-Drag wing but 1/10th the price, I am yet to test it once I get the Brembo's on it I will get it to the track

I haven't got a good side shot with the raised mounts, weather here is terrible at the moment so it is safe in the garage, will get one soon once it clears up.

 

the Brake upgrade is underway, ordered these DBA 5000 2 peice rotors




bought some Brembo front calipers (ignore the rotors I just bought the calipers )



also got some 'titanium heat wrap' for the front pipe to keep oil temps down



put some blue LEDs into my instrument cluster, might see if I can make it light up a bit better somehow



the camera didn't really work too good, it is not as bad as it looks that dark patch

 

Sick!

 

bought some screw fit inflators for my Evo 8 rims





waiting on the other bits to arrive, will fab up a air guide for my oil cooler again too when I get the rest of the stuff

 

some pix with the E8 enkeis and new tyres on, they drive ok, don't like fast direction changes but they are just for cruising, don't really do 'spirited' drives these days











Also got my new oil temp sensor and fitted it, good to have that working again

Just waiting on rotors ........ still........

got my calipers back, tried the stencil for the writing, worked ok but I think it might need to be removed straight away as we waited till it was a bit dry and didn't come off 100% nice but they look way better than before and I am not that concerned
