I always try to use hump hoses at the end terminations (turbo and tb) just because of motor flex. Sure maybe it adds a twat's hair of turbulence into the mix, but whatever to me that's OK if there's a purpose behind it.

Keep up the good work man.

Haha I don't claim bus lengths. Just that from the time we would go I had no idea where you were so I didn't want to let off. I have since changed my sprockets (both lighter and +2 teeth on the rear) so I'm sure now I would pull quite a bit more.

LOL@twatty turbulance! Ya I have long considered doing this but never bothered---it's never been a problem before now and I've owned the car for like...geez...4 years now!

Hah yea it you were definitely pulling on me through the top of 4th, nice and steady but not like walking away. Damn you and your cogs! You should put one on with LESS teeth, you know.....to improve fuel efficiency :)

I love this car more than ever! To be blunt and to the point I *should* sell it but I just can't bring myself to. It is so damn fun on the street and after detailing it for the cookout it looks better than it ever has.

I got some VIP parking (on accident) at the annual All Mitsubishi Cookout organized by the MN3S club and hosted at White Bear Lake Mitsubishi. Awesome day, hot hot hot and then it rained, but got to catch up with a lot of old friends and got some cool pics of the car after some heavy rain.

Oh, and the accessory belt is squeeking a little bit when the car is cold. Will have to address that soon. :P

Looks awfully nice for a beater! lol

Why would you sell it?

[A//// Guy]

So fresh and so clean!

[Kracka]

Silly to own two Evos...but selling this one would be stupid IMO.

Just like hughes says below, kinda silly to own two evos. I don't drive it enough; its such a dang nice car, so well sorted...I've owned it for 5 summers now, had a lot of fun with it.

So fresh and so clean!

Thanks!

Ya, I know. We'll see, I'm in no rush :)

[Murlo26]

maybe i misinterpreted, but I think hughes meant, if you were going to sell one the beater x is the lesser of choices? Dunno, could be wrong.

I vote keep both. I want two evos one day, one 9 and one X, but might not be for a while.

Regardless, looking good sir!

[turbotalon1g]

I want a 9.
