idk to tell you the truth this shop kinda lag's it alot. they keep telling me the next week and then they will find something so little that apparently held it back a week. i just told them to be straight forward with me, and that i dont care it it takes 3 months just be straight up with me. and they still tell me oh ya next week. its kind of annoying. but at least its getting done and its looking good. for 7 grand they are actually doing alot of work and probably making almost nothing on labor.

im cool with it being done cheap, slow, as long as its done correctly.

remember on any car job you can only pick 2 of the 3
done cheap
done fast
done correctly

but for real if they pick up theyre pace they can have it done in 2 weeks. just in time for my bday july 6th haha a nice bday present to myself. but we shall see.


im trying to shoot for july 11th because thats when Mitsubishi Owners Day is haha

missed ya too haha. damn i feel so outta touch with cars it's funny. i rode in a freinds evo that had a misfire prob in 1 cyl due too the spark plug not being tighted enough??? go figure haha .....but ya that felt fast to me and scared me accelerating hahah. im scared to drive my car again lol.

and there was seriously a moment when i forgot how to tune i seriously was staring at the screen tuning my friends car and just repeating over and over in my head, "What the Fuck Do These Numbers Do???" hahaha but after a starbucks venti marble mocha macciato iced upside down with 3 espresso shots no whip cream extra mocha.......ya im that guy at starbucks hahahah

but ya the frame beem that connects the passenger side area to the motor mount straightend out perfectly and they just had to weld in the raditor support like i had said should have been done the whole time. the only suprise in the whole proccess wat the broken passenger side motor mount. but that was a quick fix. haha

so wats new with everyone out there?

Hey Steve,

It's good to see the Evo almost back up and running again! Did you end up selling the Starion or do you still have it?
