you aren't doing any cams? If you are, I'd wait to do the injectors when you do them...having the valve cover off frees up a little room and makes it a bit easier. I'm not saying it can't be done, it's just a pita.

i know cams would net me some gains, but im really shying away from doing any internals..

Im thinking the bolt ons I have now, plus meth should be a pretty fast and fun car to drive...



BTW where the hell is everyone...and has anyone seen that chick driving the white 10 with the CF hood....

^I've seen her all over the place. She's at the taco bell near Piney Green all the damn time.

It would be WAAAAY hotter if she was driving a CT9A Evo!!

No offense to the X owners, but I still can't tell an immediate difference between an Evo and a Lncer from a distance. They look too much alike.

besided Luke, though ive never met him he seems to be the only cool X owner..you pass the others on the street and they look as if youre driving some hooptie, as if a 10 is better than a 9....false...CT9A is the best..

lol, i like all evos equally, lol i do not discriminate, but i do love the 9's mr the best though, sshh!! dont tell anyone. The best way to determine is the dual exhaust and the wing. other than that the front end is a little different cause they dont have the extra space for the front mount like mine does, its a little smaller in the front. and the difference in the ralli art is the size of the front mount, you can see the pipes on the ralli art and not on the X. and of course you can always pop the hood and tell the diff right away!!

So I go to Mitsu today to ask if theres a district rep I could get ahold of and explain everything to the salesman who sold me the Evo, he feels like complete **** and askes if I can come in Monday, and he personally is going to speak to the owners of the Dealership with me, and see about getting a buyback on my car, lemon law it out and get me into a brand new 2010 one when it comes in in the next 30 to 60 days!! I was happy to hear that he cared and wanted to help, he said I should have come in way sooner than 4 months to speak to someone..
