Just thought I would say Hi, and I am looking forward to being apart of your guys's big Mitsubishi family!

Edit: Oh BTW, I am still a die-hard Toyota fan. Maybe I will change my opinion soon!

Re: Going to be new Evo owner!
 

No, we found it on ebay actually.

Edit: Actually, it could be. I never seen it on there, but it was on ebay where we found it.

Re: Going to be new Evo owner!
 

Nice to see ya on here. I am pretty sure Mike55112 and his Lady are going with as well. Should be a fun trip and a fun stop thru Chicago Saturday night should be cool as well!

Re: Going to be new Evo owner!

You're gonna want to make an appointment with Shane @ DB Performance immediately :)

Where in Michigan? Hughes and I drove to Ann Arbor for teh gheyrod (his IX) just shy of two years ago now, it was a blast! We spent the night in NW Chicago burbs at a place withing walking distance of a huge mall. The girls slept in and went there for a bit, and we woke up early, bombed to ann arbor, test drove, bank, blah blah blah, and bombed back. Topped it off with a trip to Gino's East (best chicago pizza evar) and bombed back to MN.

Re: Going to be new Evo owner!
 

I think we are going to do a clutch, all timing, 268 cams for now and get it to Shane right away.

Re: Going to be new Evo owner!
 

nice looking car, good luck on the trip! and welcome to the forums!

Re: Going to be new Evo owner!
 

Oh duh ya if the tbelt hasn't been done get to it asap. Oh, and yes, cams while you're in there :)

Re: Going to be new Evo owner!
 

Kalamazoo is where we are going.

Re: Going to be new Evo owner!
 

Cool u must have that Celica GT that used to be there all the time.

Congrats and good luck.

Re: Going to be new Evo owner!
 

Yep thats him. We got that motor swap done and custom exhaust made, welded, and installed too. Time to move to better cars like the EVO and the Celica is up for sale!

Re: Going to be new Evo owner!
 

nice looking car! I'm thoroughly jealous! I want an evo so bad!

Re: Going to be new Evo owner!
 

Def an upgrade. I guess I will be meeting you tomorrow night. Once you drive it you wont ever want to touch your celica again.

Re: Going to be new Evo owner!
 

I am pretty sure it is an 05. The bank and insurance had no problems with the VIN number. I am going to go check the title when i get to work...


Edit: Title says 05. I guess I cant argue with that.

Re: Going to be new Evo owner!
 

Glad you can come!

I wouldnt say that... I the celica is still fun and handles like a dream :)
