Swapped my gray dash and center console for black ones, sueded my headliner in black, installed new black carpeting, about to install evo8 seats.
 
I am installing Green Glow Shifter Cable Bushing Kit from MachV... Just come online to check my email...
 
Dug the car out and got to finally drive it after being at school for 6 weeks :)
 
looked at it, tried to start it..and it didnt.
looked at it again, tried to start it..and it didnt.
charged battery, tried to start it..and it didnt.
to be continued....
 
Got my manifold, turbo, and O2 housing back on. Just waiting on my Magnus IM gasket to finish everything.

Btw, working with your fingers in -30 weather sucks!!
 
Can't say that it was today but it was yesterday. Got my New Akita 435 wheels which are gloss black w/ machine lip. The wheels also came with Capital 215/45/R17s. I changed the letters on my VC from red to black. Installed 2 12" LED light strips to improve interior lighting.
 
I installed an EVO 8 headgasket, because a local "DSM Tuner" told me it works flawlessly on his cars. I opened the garage this morning to see water running down the block, the coolant holes don't line up, and now I have to wait for a 4 layer gasket. Did I mention I have to tear down the car and start from scratch? I crashed and burned on this project!

Are you planning on getting the block and head refinished for use with that 4 layer gasket? If not then skip it and go with an OEM Mitsubishi composite head gasket.
 
Yes, I had the head and block surfaces finished, I can't believe I wasted money and time on the wrong head gasket. I also believe I stretched my ARP Bolts, I used moly and torqued them to 100lb ft. I saw the coolant running and wanted to believe I had a badly calibrated torque wrench.
