It better be ready. I've been waiting for my ride since your BBQ you bastage. lol
As for the car, needs:
Tires
rotors (seemed a bit warped)
back seat (unless cig holes are acceptable)
some body work on the crease
Idle's rougher than the IX but I'm not sure last time or if the plugs were ever changed.
Lots of interior wear on leather parts, but like I said, if the price is right And yes, I'll swap the "Boostin" plate from the bugeye to the evo.

So got off the phone with United earlier, they said I could come pick up my ****box. They ordered like 3 new gears, input shaft and all new syncros haha! Funny thing is, they didnt even crack it open. They just called mitsu tech hotline, and mitsu said its a common problem on the 6 speed, replace all this stuff and you'll be good. Works for me haha! So if you guys start grinding they will replace damn near whole slushbox no questions asked, thats not too terrible! Parts will be here in 5-7 working days. Kind of sucks I have to take it back though. Im out of town next week and not sure how I can swing getting it down there, unless I drop it off Sunday night or something.

On a side note, I know most of you guys run the ACT. Rene you have the exedy twin right? Im thinking about a new clutch, and want something I wont have to change for a LONG time. Carbon would be nice, but not sure if I want to spend 2700 on that RPS twin carbon. Looked at the tilton twin hybrid, but its not made for the 6 speed. Probly has something to do with the hydraulic cylinder they put inside the bellhousing, because other then that the clutches are the same. Whos got inputs!

I would say go with something easy and not too agressive. I went w/ the exedy twin to handle 500-600+whp

Im seriously considering the exedy twin. How is compared to stock pedal feel? The reason I dont want to go act is its kinda hard on the calf muscles hehe. I generally get stuck in traffic alot, thats just my luck. Usually to and from work is at least 30 mins of bumper to bumper, 15 each way. So that would suck ***.

The ACT would be what your looking for those type of situations that are concerning you. I believe the Exedy is a lil more agressive and will give you better muscle results on your calves.

Nope, the exedy feels like stock compared to the ACT. The only problem with twins is that there is no play, so constantly having to start from a stop kinda sucks.

All the twins I've ever felt feel way softer than the act. The act is pretty hard but engages well with no chatter.

If you want a pretty good feeling clutch with very little noise and good holding power than the twin carbon is your best bet. IMHO

^so true, like I said the twin sucks for street, but I dont think it would be too bad out here compared to the 405 traffic in SoCal
