The car runs great and rides nice. As long as he can nip that cancer in the bud it'll end up being a great car.

Loved the car! For sure Ridin Dirta!

Someone needs to sign up the car the the dyno day, so they can base line it.

**Murlo26** · 05-02-2010

^he had it on the dyno before he bought it, lol.

polishmafia · 05-02-2010

You pulled the trigger on it! Woot! Good luck with it. Here's to a new beginning *raises beer you bought me*

**Halon** · 05-02-2010

Nice! I need a ride sometime, I've still yet to have a ride in an X.

**asshanson** · 05-02-2010

Nice pickup! Should be a fun project.

A//// Guy · 05-02-2010

Whoa! Im kinda saddened and I dont know why. Maybe its the condition of the car, id probably run the other way after checking it out. It will be nice to see you clean it up and baby it though!

Congrats!! For some reason I still just cant see you driving an X. haha

Someone already dyno'd it

I asked shane to verify the motor was healthy, and this was the first thing he thought of: toss it on the rollers, throw a few tweaks at it and see how it responds. His only comment was, 'it needs more mods!' LOL

red is pull #1, green is pull #3 after exactly two changes to the fuel map and a few other spots to see how she responded.

If you compare this to murlo's baseline, it's pretty much spot on:

Needs a testpipe and some sort of an intake, but I cannot decide wtf I want, almost everything seems to have some sort of compromise. Need to sell more stuff before I can do anything, so I got time to decide

I've made a few friends along the way and so far things are looking bright for getting the bodywork done, rims fixed, and interior completed. Give me a few weeks, hopefully I'll have made some progress.

Gotta take it to the dealer first though to get some issues sorted.

Afraid I had the same thought...I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, but the uicp doesn't look that good from the photos. I'm surprised that people would do that when UR makes good looking stuff for pretty cheap.

It actually doesn't look too bad. I took some close-up pics of the exhaust yesterday morning and decided that while it's not ideal, it is decent, and best of all it is FREE! I'll be sticking with this catback for a while.

Aside from the rusty welds, the UICP looks decent. Bling ain't everything you know

I'll take it off for the trip to the dealer, and bring it by primo while its off.

You're doing a favor to the Evo gods by saving this X. I'm sure you'll have plenty of fun with her!

**Murlo26** · 05-03-2010

honestly i didn't think the car was too bad personally. I think it was a great pickup. Just needs some tuning/mod love.

Then a good clay bar/waxing!

Thanks man! I washed it last night, holy crap do the imperfections jump out now. Friday it was covered in rain/dirt so it covered them up quite a bit.

That is why i got out of a black car, the imperfections really jump out. But now i wish i had one again, i love black! ...cars, lol.

**scheides** · 05-03-2010

Aaaand the car just puked out all of its power steering fluid. GREAT! Looks like its coming from the nose somewhere, on the cooling line. Boo.
