I think it was JMF that also has one but it is a tubular one and is 1k+. I'm a budget and don't want a tubular one for daily driving anyways.

I can get you set up with this exact configuration much cheaper sir, shoot me a PM if you're interested :)

I always always recommend the gsc 5039 springs because they are a) cheap($200) and b) a simple drop-in beehive, no major swappage needed and it would be dandy to do right along with your timing belt job. Then just drop in the new cams and you're good to go with a solid 8000rpm redline. I rev'd my stock bottom-end to 8300 a few times w/o issue on these springs. and I guess c) a little bit of insurance if you miss a shift.

We offer something very similar, $179.99 for Mitsustyle members ;) /threadjack

^This is true, MAP has beehive's now too! Do it!

You don't have to take off any manifolds, just use the coated rope that doesn't leave any particulates.

Nothing too exciting but figured any little update is fun.

Last weekend I lightly smoked the front turn signals on the front fenders. Would've gone darker but ran out of night shades. I'll end up smoking them a little darker when I pick some more up and smoke the rear side reflectors that are on the side of the rear bumper too. Also took out the blue neons from under the dash. Installed my 50psi aem boost gauge and sensor instead of the 35psi one that was in there since I had it laying around from my old gsx. Then finished wiring up the wideband in it. Thing runs rich as hell and really needs a retune. Need to look into how to wire up the gauges to the ecu so I can log them. Still learning how to search the evo forums since it is so much bigger than the dsm forums, I'm still an evo forum n00b. Then need to pick up a cable to log with.

Just picked up a gruppe-s guage pod so hopefully that'll be here next week!

Also probably pick up some GSC S2 cams this weekend. Undecided on what springs to run though. I'll probably go with the GSC springs/retainers or the kiggly ones. Any recommendations?

I will do the 60k maintenance on it in a few weekends while I do the cam install. Then go get a tune from the amazing Shane!

Had Shane @ DB Performance order a set of the GSC S2's and their springs! Thanks Shane!

Also ordered up a set of the jdm replica tails as there is no way I'm paying through the nose for a real set of the jdm ones and I hate the stock evo8 tails.

My gauge pod should also be waiting for me when I get home today :D

Muahahah nice!

Seen it today picking up parts car looks good! Too bad it was freezing ass cold and couldn't really check it out.

Going to be installing the cams/springs on March 5/6 since I got the weekend off from my second job.

Installed the Gruppe-S gauge pod and love the look of it and fitment. Quality part, just need another guage to fill the opening.

Also got my jdm replica tails on and took a picture halfway though. I love the look of them over the stockers, feel like less of a ricer!

Ordered a set of the seat lowering brackets as well. Hopefully those will be here this week. I'm excited as I feel like I'm driving a truck sometimes the way the stock seats are.

Looks good!

A basic set of springs will help this dramatically. Throw on a set of Eibachs or Swifts, get an alignment, and no more truck feeling (or stock wheel gap). Def a great candidate to go on the 'basic mods' list for a car like this.
