lol well we are in the midst of tuning the SD right now, it drives great, and soo smooth, i love it. will update when we get some power tuning in, still debating on chopping my nose off, its just such a hard decision because you can never go back lol. i want some black tail lights too, like from an evo 9 or depo or something, not looking to pay a while lot, maybe even trade my stockers that are basically mint. i wouldnt mind a lip either, i need to paint my calipers as well, just so many little things left to do lol

You should replace the Mitsu badge if you do chop the nose, It always seems like nose chops make the car look really empty on the front with no badge. I want to set up the evo for speed density really bad, if only i knew that much about the car. God yes there couldn't be a better solution to the stock VIII tails, they are so hideous. What was mitsu even thinking? I was considering getting the evo 7 red tail lights, I think they look great on black and white and a few other colors, but the black housing tail lights are gonna make your car look even better no doubt.Originally Posted by minimarine09

yea i think its safe to say that im going to still wait on the decision for the nose chop, i was thinking the evo 7 tail lights too because they dont look half bad on yellow either, but i think it would take away from the whole yellow and black thing i have going on.
just updated the full mod list in the 1st post, i have a strong feeling that my mother in law is buying my the depo tail lights for christmas! 

nope! its all me! a friend of mine that just got out helped me with most of it, but hes out now so im riding solo when it comes to working on the car. but im big on the whole DIY aspect of it
if you have any questions dont hesitate to ask, i ran into alot of speed bumps along the way so had to learn alot of the easier ways do do things by myself, AND of course constantly searching online 
UPDATE: started tuning with tom from TSCOMPTUNED, and this car pulls HARD up top, i love it, will update with numbers soon when the tune is done.

It must of been nice to come home to a mountain of quality parts and a long list of projects to complete. Props to a nice build and a dedicated DIYer.

update, been tuning and this car pulls hard up top but still not done, radiator started to crack up top i have one in the mail as we speak, full aluminum radiator ftw!
Good work love the LY! Keep up the good job. Would like to see ya clean up the engine bay more. Short Route UPIC from buschur or stm looks good with a battery relocation or mini battery. So much you can do in the engine bay to clean it up!
