Rep Power: 0 MA is Massachusetts, correct? lol. Its been a while since I was in school. hehe.
But yeah, its goin over there. Got all the money today, getting him a new oil return line, braided line if I can find some nice ones, oil tap fitting, and a new wastegate rod clip.
Dallis, you need an oil pan still? Mine is chillin in my garage if you want it, jsut hit me up. Maybe you can show me how to get my timing belt cover off (the lower one). I have my mount, a/c, ps, alternator off and still cant get it off. All the bolts are off, it moves, but wont come.
Let me know
Peace

I paid:
Kit-2600 shipped (SLP hooked my *** up)
Profec-b-100 picked up down the street
Gauges/pillar pod-200 maybe 15-20 more?
spark plugs-50
2950+-
Sold everything for:
kit-1700
profec-b-160
gauges-160
2020
Lost 930 bucks or so. But I feel I got my moneys worth. I had a blast with the kit. Plus I sold a few hundred in other parts, which is about what I paid for them. I always get good deals on brand new stuff, IMO.
My car also has a new clutch, clutch master/slave cylinder, new lines, coolant/gas lines/clips, timing belt, ps/ac/alt belt, headgasket, tie rod boots, etc.
So with what broke/was replaced, it will hopefully help the value of the car. Everything will be in pretty good shape. A dealership offered about 10 for trade in on a 05 or 06 legacy gt.

I am planning on getting a hatch pretty quick here. Possibly swapped/turbod if I find a nice deal. If it isnt swapped, I will do that myself.

I have eliminated all the other cars. There is a slight chance of the legacy, but I like the mitsubishi a lot more. much hotter lookin car. the 06, of course.

Rep Power: 0 so the legacy is that much better? I always thought mitsu was pretty reliable. Compared to most cars anyways (not comparing a honda/acura).
What are some other cars in the 23-25 range with over 250hp, 4 or 6 cylinder, turbo, superharged or none? What should I look at. I got my head checked out today, its in good shape, didnt need to be ground down any. He checked it out, wetsanded and cleaned it up for free.
So my car will be running soon, and will be getting rid of it any week now.

pay off your civic, put it back to stock and sell the parts, use that money to buy a project car and keep the civic as a daily driver
****..for 22k you would see me in Toyota Soarer with 2jz and about 450hp
