Ooh. Yes. I believe you and Jim have a set of cables. Whomever can get them to me soonest wins, cause the binding is getting worse 
I'll just replace them and lube the crap out of the bushings at the same time then.

Re: Finally got my Evo
Nice car dude, and +1 on keeping the wing, sure it looks sleeper like but it also looks like a base model lancer. To each his own, your going to drive it in the winter? Donuts..  |

You know it!!
Funny you mention that, I was just talking to Kerry (95talonracer) today about the car and he asked if I was going to try to keep the miles off of this thing. I told him as much as I would like to, this thing is waaay too much fun to let sit and collect dust!! It's a car, and it's meant to drive! I still can't believe how much fun this car is!

Picked up some known good 6 speed shift cables from Ron yesterday after the car left me stranded and stuck in...I think 3rd gear?...Either way, it was too high of a gear to get home in where I was at, so I already got my first tow 
So I put the new cables in, which was pretty straight forward, take out the center console, take out battery and tray, then unhook cables and tug. What a PITA it was though, Ron told me it would take ~3 hours or so, I think it took me 3.5 hours with some help. Car now gets into all the gears, but 1st and 2nd are still a bit notchy, I'll need to adjust it some more. So thanks Ron for the cables and thanks Dave for helping me finish things up.

Re: Finally got my Evo
Well, I had some fun with the car this weekend. Saturday I dyno'ed at the dyno day and made 334/342 then did some good testing and comparing
Today (Sunday) I crushed the BOV just for something to do, de-badged the car, and took off the wing to see how I like it. So far...not bad. I just used some white vinyl I had to cover the holes for now. Tomorrow I will be installing some Kracka Vents, and looking for a cheap dual chamber catch can for the setup I have planned out.
Here are a couple crappy ass pics:
Still to do for visual mods:
Tint front windows to match rear (They look like 50%)
Tint tail lights
Eventually get BBS's powder coated semi gloss black.
I am still up in the air whether or not to put on the RPF1's from the Talon on once they get some good tires....I'm sure I'll try it out in the spring and see how they look.
