Not even close yet, but car went back in friday for AMS intercooler, AMS widemouth downpipe, AMS upper intercooler pipe, fuel injector and fuel pump install and another dyno tune. My Do-luck trunk is coming wednesday so I hope to have it back by friday. I'm thinking about reshooting the whole grill area and chrome in matte black while it's in the shop, but I'm not sure on that one.
I ended up going with Works sway bars with the AST coilovers. The combo is really amazing.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions or resentments. I am sorry if I offended you in some way.
I bought my GT-R with cash 2 years ago and have been a member at NAGTROC since that time (under the same name). I could dip into family savings to help my friend, but I chose to sacrifice something that is primarily for my own pleasure since it is, after all, my best friend who has peroitoneal carcinomatosis. My friend is not insured. He has been getting state and federal assistance for the last three months, but certain medications related to problems ancillary to the primary disease, are not being covered. He is also no longer working so the bills are also piling up.
I recently sold my 550i (in the picture) because it wasn't being used and the Mercedes (also in the picture) is an Evosport tuned deathtrap with no back seat. Alas, I need a car I can drive every day that can also accomodate my son. The Lancer MR seemed to fit the bill.
In any case, the GT-R was delivered to the buyer tonight and I should be picking up the MR tomorrow or Friday.
I found your "wishing a cobalt on me" pretty funny.

I don't think it says anything about the GT-R, but it does speak well for the Evo. I'm sure results would be different on a bigger track.

I have a evo and a CL500 too and i was about to get a GTR too, but ended up getting the Evo X MR. Nothing to regret at all believe me my dad is having fun with my evo these days and im telling him to get one but he says that he will probably get a GTR in the future.

would love to hear more about your experience with Works on the tune. I am reading so much conflicting information and I really want to do it once and right, Very tasteful mods on your car btw. I am newly married to a new WW MR myself and I am loving the car.
