Re: Finally got my Evo
Are the metal underhood shifter bushings binding? Might want to remove them and lube them up. This seems to be pretty common, especially with the aluminum bushings (AMS, Buschur, etc.).

Re: Finally got my Evo
Nice car dude, and +1 on keeping the wing, sure it looks sleeper like but it also looks like a base model lancer. To each his own, your going to drive it in the winter? Donuts..  |

You know it!!
Funny you mention that, I was just talking to Kerry (95talonracer) today about the car and he asked if I was going to try to keep the miles off of this thing. I told him as much as I would like to, this thing is waaay too much fun to let sit and collect dust!! It's a car, and it's meant to drive! I still can't believe how much fun this car is!

Picked up some known good 6 speed shift cables from Ron yesterday after the car left me stranded and stuck in...I think 3rd gear?...Either way, it was too high of a gear to get home in where I was at, so I already got my first tow 
So I put the new cables in, which was pretty straight forward, take out the center console, take out battery and tray, then unhook cables and tug. What a PITA it was though, Ron told me it would take ~3 hours or so, I think it took me 3.5 hours with some help. Car now gets into all the gears, but 1st and 2nd are still a bit notchy, I'll need to adjust it some more. So thanks Ron for the cables and thanks Dave for helping me finish things up.

Have you figured out why the power drops off like that? Thats pretty drastic. |

And it's stock turbo, they all taper pretty badly, although mine does hold 20psi at redline, or at least it did on MAP's dyno Saturday.
