Got my dumb 120* fitting!! Paid extra for it to be black, got a call that said black was out of stock, so I said the red/blue would be fine. Got no refund for the difference and paid them $7.50 for "handling" which literally entailed them throwing the effing thing in an envelope with no packaging. ExtremePSI fail.




Also, since there are 300,000 Silver Evo's within a 10 mile radius of me, I'm making my car look different than your average Apexi.

First, I threw the black mirrors sitting in my garage on, and am extremely happy with how they came out. The roof is also getting sprayed gloss black hopefully next week.

The black mirrors look very nice. For the roof, I would highly recommend a vinyl wrap as it is inexpensive and lasts. I have one on my EVO and it is still going strong.

I will, homie. I always forget to ask you for some reason. BTW, saved a small fortune at Harbor Freight today .

Thank you, sir.

I'm not sure of any local places to me that do vinyl wrapping, but I will definitely look into it. Do you know roughly what it would cost for the roof?

I will check for you. In the meantime, where can I buy that longer filter I need? I need it in a 3" inlet.

The P/N for that exact filter is 3090 (3" inlet), and you can purchase it from the Amsoil dealer here on EvoM! (apagan01).

Getting tuned this Sunday by KP Tuning so I can get this beast moving, and moving good. Found out the remote tuning thing just isn't for me.

I respect it, I really do, but I just really don't like e-mail tuning.....I guess it's just not for everyone.

I'd rather have the tuner sitting in the car, physically feeling everything the car is doing, as I've realized the values don't always represent exactly how the car is reacting, especially for partial throttle drivability and stuff like that.

I'm stoked!! My goal, which seems a bit far fetched, is to make 400whp on 93 octane.

Until I can hit the dyno I'll hopefully update this with a Virtual Dyno chart on Sunday.

I'm actually going out to dinner at 6:30 in Monkeyville, so I could theoretically stop by your house and get it since I'll be right there, and drop off your serial to usb cable.

I'll shoot you a text when I'm leaving dinner. Word?
