I've tried to be realistic with him. However he is very stubborn and is dead set on obtaining his goal regardless of what the odds tell him. He seems to think that with this "formula" of his, he will get there. I am trying to reason with him and help him pick a more realistic goal before he...
Yes run 8s and he's dead serious about it.He lives in a very disillusioned world where he seems to think anyone can go 8s in a DSM if they have enough money. He seems to think that if he buys this perfect setup, it will get him to run 8s...ignoring the fact that things will break, the time...
I'm still in too...I just hope the weather holds up for us...looks like thunderstorms all day. Too bad we didn't set the date for tomorrow; it's supposed to be beautiful.
I gotta agree. If you drive like a normal person, a cop can't do jack **** to you. I see way more "normal" looking cars pulled over by cops than exotic or "ricey" cars.
Yeah I got the same problem guys. Problem is, I'm trying to sell my car. And the shops around me won't even touch it because it's not worth the hassle or money to them. The other side is just surface rust but I'm sure it's going to be on it's way out soon too. I'm kind of thinking that I just...
Yeah I brought it to Brad Benson Mitsubishi on Route 1. Not my favorite place in the world...but I had no choice in this matter. I did get a chance to look at the EVO Xs though. Selling for 35k...yeesh.
I'm forced to bring my car to the local Mitsu dealer in order to get my broken gas gauge fixed. (The needle stopped working) I haven't brought my car to a Mitsu dealer in what seems like forever so this might sound like a stupid question but do they have the right to refuse service or can they...
I'm sorry, I'm always up for hanging out! My work schedule has been a nightmare though because I decided to work full-time at the bank for the summer and I don't have any time to do anything anymore! I'm going to be attending the meet though so we can all catch up then!
Awesome! I also have two neighbors a few houses down that regularly get their cars worked on at Turbotrix. One has an EVO, the other an STI and they know me so it's definitely a fun neighborhood to live in.

Holy shit dude, is the apartment complex by chance called the Renaissance? Because that's the development that I live in and I'm right down the street from Shoprite.
Hopefully someone can help me out with this. Yesterday while driving to a friend's house, I hit a pothole and all of a sudden I heard this loud bang coming from my rear driver side strut. Then as I kept driving along all I could hear was a very loud banging and clunking coming from that same...
Why would you spend a grand on all this when you can buy some slotted rotors, performance pads, and SS lines and stop just as good as any EVO for half the price?
I don't think they look all that bad actually. And I like how they match the red seats. But I do agree with the guy who said that you should get the clear side markers. The stock orange doesn't go with the rest of the car.
Don't finance a used car. You'll end up paying ridiculous amounts of interest and spending way more than you originally intended. If you can't afford the AWD, then keep saving. Don't bury yourself in debt just to feed your impulses.
I agree, if you want the job to look clean and have a warranty to go with it, take it to a place that specializes in tinting windows. It's not worth the hassle of doing it yourself just to save 100 bucks.
I know hard to believe right? Anyway the title of the book is "Mitsubishi & Diamond Star Performance Tuning" by Keith Buglewicz. It only cost 17 dollars so I said what the hell and went ahead and bought it. It seems like it just recently came out too because the publishing date is January 2007...
Well I wouldn't suggest messing around with it if you don't know what you're doing. You could wind up doing some serious damage to your car. So you might want to see if you can find a reputable shop in your area that deals with DSMs or other import cars. Worst comes to worst, you could always...
Most people will tell you to be on the safe side and get 660 injectors because you have more room to wiggle with. On the other hand, there's also people who have run 550s and its just enough fuel for them. Of course make sure you have some kind of fuel management device such as an SAFC or...

I'm not trying to sound like a dick but if you're really serious about building up a car, then you should sell it now and find a GSX. The FWD is gonna hold you back big time.
I'm here John. Bruce just called me last night telling me about this "meet." I haven't been on the forums in forever because I haven't really bought anything for my car in forever. I'll drop by this Sunday though. And when the hell did you get an EVO Corey? And how can you afford it?!
I just recently had my brakes done...I bought brand new rotors and brake pads all around and already after a few weeks of driving, I'm noticing excessive amounts of rust on the rotor hats...the rears in particular. My car still brakes fine but it just looks ugly. It's embarrassing having nice...
Thanks for the replies guys. So I'll definitely be needing a new caliper if it's sticking? I was planning on purchasing new rotors and brake pads all around to begin with so should I go ahead and find a new caliper as well?
I just finished washing my car only a few days ago and already the front driver's side wheel is covered in black stuff. Almost like something disintegrated onto the wheel. Meanwhile the other 3 wheels look spotless. I can also smell something burning from that same wheel. I very rarely have to...
Dwindling resale value? I beg to differ. If anything the price of a used DSM has gone up the past several years. Just take a look in our own classifieds section. Some of the prices of 2G AWDs are ridiculously high. You would think the car had gold on the undercarriage instead of rust.
