Last Minute Prep for Mitsu Cookout
So what last minute stuff have you been working on in prep for the Mitsu Cookout?
For me I have been working on the Talon after taking it out of storage and have been busy with cleaning, cleaning and cleaning. May turn up the boost a bit on the EVO for the dyno challenge.
I may have to enter two cars there this year! Talon will be at the swap meet (for sale) for sure.
Took a quick pic this morning in my driveway.

find a boost gauge to go over 20psi

Clean, wax, detail, drive, repeat...
Almost there... 
Last year didn't make it but this year will be there!!  |
Energy bushings are in.
4 bolt swap is complete
Cleaned up the whole rear suspension with POR 15 (feel like I should try to put a mirror down to show people what it looks like)
Finished painting the rear brakes, need to install
Then car can sit on 4 wheels
need alignment because I pulled everything apart and now need readjustment
ECU wiring is almost cleaned up and found a good place for my new ECU (sits in the cup holder or center console)
Had all day to work on it. I am going to be close on making it this year.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
I'd like to get my 850cc fuel injectors installed, install my new Energy Suspension rear diff mount bushings, and a good detailing. I was hoping my new rear strut tower brace would be here but no luck. Oh, I should probably get the cone scuff off my front bumper too.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
FIC 850cc injectors installed and dialed-in, boost increased from 6k RPM+, fuel/timing maps retuned!
Come Saturday I'll detail the car and maybe get my rear diff poly bushings installed |

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
Took the head off of my car, had it rebuilt thanks to Gosh, and put it back on in 2 days!! Not the interior and to fire it up in the morning.

Car starts, runs, and moves! see you guys at the cook out!
My interior is all ripped apart I don't know if I should put it back together.
However I do have a roll bar that could be installed.
Should I put that in before the cookout?
