And Current pic of progress

be careful with the VC, they tend to crack easy.

get a 3inch turboback made for it, with a 3inch magnaflow muffler.

sounds like more of a project car than a beater

just bought an extra vavle cover from this guy in amsterico. and the top palte to hide the spark pugs for 10 bucks.

its a winter car not performance time. Thinking 2.5in with a magnaflow. i want my car to be somewhat quiet, after driving the 240.

Hence the title. Im putting NO mone into after market. only thing will be an exhaust since the current is all cut up.

well unlike the 240, a DSM sounds good.

the wire cover is the part you need to be really careful installing, because those ears that the bolt goes into crack off very easily…

thanks :asshole. Ya ive heard.

Going to advance in a little bit to get all the oil/sparkplugs/normal b.s

NGK plugs! get the correct ones, dont guess it. and get a good filter for it, not the cheapest one on the shelf.

Get a mitsubishi oil filter…they hate most aftermarket ones especially fram

she was a dirty bitch… i smoke but got damn :eek holy cig butts in that car…

Sounds like a maintenance project to me :ponder

deff a maintenance project, will be a nice winter drifter lol if it gets done b4 snow hits…

bought a shitload of stuff. didnt get a oil filter bc like sean said ive read they hate aftermarket crap.

The car came with brand new pads. so the brakes are next. all the rotors look fine but the driver rear. and the caliper has a broken bolt…All and all i say this car will be done next week. then off to inline or syanpase or somewhere for an exhaust then done ;D

so you finally got it ;D
if you need any dsm parts, i basically have a whole parts car garaged
as for the oil filters, i go to the dealership and get the evo8 OEM filters
6 bucks i think.

EDIT:GL. you’ll need it :lol
