Ok, I'm starting to build some momentum on this thing. This car was abused by the previous owner, so the beginning is going to be all about fixing this thing up and getting it to a level that will be make me happy. I've always said that my ultimate X would be the 2010-spec MR with the Touring Edition package, but with a 5-speed.

My goals for the first part of the summer:
-fix up nasty gashes and major/minor scratches in the body work
-fix/replace rota P45F's from my evo8 and try them on this car (currently it has snow tires on it)
-detail/fix interior, specifically floor, dash, doors, and headliner.
-AWC relocate/factory bluetooth
-ralliart heated leather seat factory option
-a few power mods for the stock turbo: 300whp on DB's dyno
-try leftover evo8 mods for fitment on the X
-ecu hacks for the X

This list will obviously grow with time, but I've got to get more cash out of the parts I had for my evo8 before I can get any 'serious' mods on this thing. I've cut my budget WAY back due to some unforseen problems....needs new brake pads, the power steering issue, needed to buy a new wheel/tire, etc. I'll be keeping the custom 3" exhaust that's on here, as it has a decent muffler on it, and I'll be keeping the FMIC and UICP that came on it: they actually look to be fairly decent quality.
