I didn't even think of that. I'll have to Photo-chop that onto my car and see how it looks!

The previous owner chopped the Mitsu logo out. Up close you can see it, but it's not very noticeable.

I need to use that fender roller one day, I lost mine in the move. I have a heat gun already just no roller.

Previous owner of my car was an older man and he put big *** snow tires on the car and he actually cut the lip on the inside a little bit then folded it in. Resulting in a small dent, I need to roll it out with the eastwood.

I'll come over one day and you can snag it from your friend for me.

Also, 100ft is too much lol. I have about a 30 foot extension cord I made LOL.

I figured 100ft would be a bit too far.

And yeah, just let me know. I'm bringing the roller back as soon as I get the beast DD abled.

Sorry to thread jack, but did you decide to go with a bigger turbo or are you sticking with the 30r?

Blue91lx, love the simplicity of the mods. Should make for an ultra reliable and fun daily.

Nope. There's really no easy way to find out exactly how the timing should be unless you know EXACTLY how much has been cut off of your head and block. Regardless, I'm degreeing my motor with a degree wheel and such to find out exactly where everything should be.

No worries about the thread jack . And thank you! Planning to enjoy the car as much as I can with the least problems possible.

Megatron is running like a beast, my friend. I am preparing to buy a larger fuel pump to address this weak area of the build. The power and torque are right where I want them and the fuel pump is just for an added peace of mind. I know you have been seeing my posts about wanting a stock IX turbo as I want to see how that feels on 91-octane with my 2.4L.

Glad to hear it!

I think you would love the response of the small turbo on the bigger motor. I came from the V8 world so I too appreciate torque!!

Teach me what the purpose of the holes are please.

The first hole is for the rivet but as for the rest I honestly think they're for drainage. It baffled me as well.
