I'm a Mitsu Junkie! Of course I'm on here lol. When I'm done screwing around, I'll find a clean evo 9 to sit pretty next to the G haha.

Loving the new pics of your G. Get us another video when you're done breaking it in =)

Boooo...I had my Buschur FMIC anodized black about 5 yrs ago, still looks good, has slightly faded but you can barely tell. Doesn't matter if it's loud, everyone may think you just have a big fart can on an NA galant!

this thing is awesome! personally would much rather have that over an evo. its so unique. it just sucks that you probably spent so much more than if you would have just bought an evo in the first place.
but the outcome is nuts. awesome build man.

Actually I spent way less then what you think compared to an evo+ the cost to build.
I have 23k ish into the WHOLE thing, including the car.

I really did think about getting an evo but just getting an evo is like 13-19k for what I wanted, and this just made sense and I love the body style and only paid 6k for the car way back in 07 lol. No car note, no payments, nothing. She is 100% original and mine. Nobody else has her.

ONTO THE NEXT PROJECT!.........

... DUN dun dun... WOMEN lol

Should I tighten them up more since I'll be running high boost? Do I even have to check them lol ( I know probably should)

Second question
Oil. what to use? I'm on the fence about VR1 and T6 because I really don't feel like removing my metal cat, but I would like some extra protection. What are my options?


Also, I have an aem twin fire ignition box with a spooling up cop, not installed yet because of some starting troubleshooting issues lol. But the settings on the AEM box to run from the evo 8 ecu, what do I set them to?
I never re-torqued mine and 95 has done fine so far up to 36+ psi. I wouldn't worry about them.
