I always try to use hump hoses at the end terminations (turbo and tb) just because of motor flex. Sure maybe it adds a twat's hair of turbulence into the mix, but whatever to me that's OK if there's a purpose behind it.

Keep up the good work man.

Haha I don't claim bus lengths. Just that from the time we would go I had no idea where you were so I didn't want to let off. I have since changed my sprockets (both lighter and +2 teeth on the rear) so I'm sure now I would pull quite a bit more.

LOL@twatty turbulance! Ya I have long considered doing this but never bothered---it's never been a problem before now and I've owned the car for like...geez...4 years now!

Hah yea it you were definitely pulling on me through the top of 4th, nice and steady but not like walking away. Damn you and your cogs! You should put one on with LESS teeth, you know.....to improve fuel efficiency

I love this car more than ever! To be blunt and to the point I *should* sell it but I just can't bring myself to. It is so damn fun on the street and after detailing it for the cookout it looks better than it ever has.

I got some VIP parking (on accident) at the annual All Mitsubishi Cookout organized by the MN3S club and hosted at White Bear Lake Mitsubishi. Awesome day, hot hot hot and then it rained, but got to catch up with a lot of old friends and got some cool pics of the car after some heavy rain.

Snapped a few pics with my iphone too, they turned out ok:

Oh, and the accessory belt is squeeking a little bit when the car is cold. Will have to address that soon. :P

Looks awfully nice for a beater! lol

Why would you sell it?

A//// Guy · 08-26-2014

So fresh and so clean!

**Kracka** · 08-26-2014

Silly to own two Evos...but selling this one would be stupid IMO.

Just like hughes says below, kinda silly to own two evos. I don't drive it enough; its such a dang nice car, so well sorted...I've owned it for 5 summers now, had a lot of fun with it.

Ya, I know. We'll see, I'm in no rush

**Murlo26** · 08-27-2014

maybe i misinterpreted, but I think hughes meant, if you were going to sell one the beater x is the lesser of choices? Dunno, could be wrong.

I vote keep both. I want two evos one day, one 9 and one X, but might not be for a while.

Regardless, looking good sir!

turbotalon1g · 08-27-2014

I want a 9.

**scheides** · 10-07-2014

The accessory belt on this thing has been a little squeeky on cold startup the last month or so. Finally got it up in the air and took a look, I knew I had a small oil leak back here (likely from the turbo feed but I'm not sure) but it appears as though I let it go a little too long, oil spray everywhere back here and all over the side of the motor, the pullies, belt, etc. Boo.

I sprayed the entire side of the motor down with brake cleaner and scrubbed everything I could and then swapped on a new belt. Squeek gone! I put some miles on it and re-checked it but I can't see the leak anywhere now, motor is bone dry all over. I'll put some more miles on it this weekend for the MitsuStyle fall cruise and check it again when I get back.

Still love this car! Had a serious offer on it and end of the day it made me just want to keep it even more. Blah!

Any chance its CV boot grease slinging around? Mine did that and made a mess.

**cmspaz** · 10-08-2014

The CV clamps were done on this a couple years back, I remember because I sold him the parts.

I'd be surprised if they were leaking again but might be worth a look.

TkrPerformance · 10-08-2014

Sell it and the 9 and get a 911

A//// Guy · 10-08-2014

If you get an offer on that bish, sell that nao!

This. Some of the mess was a little bit lighter colored and reminded me of CV grease. We'll see if/when it comes back over time I guess.
