lol well we are in the midst of tuning the SD right now, it drives great, and soo smooth, i love it. will update when we get some power tuning in, still debating on chopping my nose off, its just such a hard decision because you can never go back lol. i want some black tail lights too, like from an evo 9 or depo or something, not looking to pay a while lot, maybe even trade my stockers that are basically mint. i wouldnt mind a lip either, i need to paint my calipers as well, just so many little things left to do lol

You should replace the Mitsu badge if you do chop the nose, It always seems like nose chops make the car look really empty on the front with no badge. I want to set up the evo for speed density really bad, if only i knew that much about the car. God yes there couldn't be a better solution to the stock VIII tails, they are so hideous. What was mitsu even thinking? I was considering getting the evo 7 red tail lights, I think they look great on black and white and a few other colors, but the black housing tail lights are gonna make your car look even better no doubt.

yea i think its safe to say that im going to still wait on the decision for the nose chop, i was thinking the evo 7 tail lights too because they dont look half bad on yellow either, but i think it would take away from the whole yellow and black thing i have going on.

nope! its all me! a friend of mine that just got out helped me with most of it, but hes out now so im riding solo when it comes to working on the car. but im big on the whole DIY aspect of it if you have any questions dont hesitate to ask, i ran into alot of speed bumps along the way so had to learn alot of the easier ways do do things by myself, AND of course constantly searching online

UPDATE: started tuning with tom from TSCOMPTUNED, and this car pulls HARD up top, i love it, will update with numbers soon when the tune is done.

Props to this! Not enough guys working on their own cars these days. Good to see you putting in the hard yards for this, the reward is much sweeter!

Good work love the LY! Keep up the good job. Would like to see ya clean up the engine bay more. Short Route UPIC from buschur or stm looks good with a battery relocation or mini battery. So much you can do in the engine bay to clean it up!
