That's going to be awhile. The tracks are still closed for the winter.

Yeah, another EVO. :(

Good find, have fun with it, but it will never be as sexy as your 2G

Quoted for truth, but smoking Vettes and Porsches on the track does just as good a job of getting noticed, if you know what I mean... :afro

That is a mighty nice iceberg u have there. Don't sink any titanics (mustangs camros etc...) :-)

P.S. I read in C&D a while back that you need to brakes in evos for a little and take it easy on the car at first otherwise they start burning oil.

Looks awsome.

I ran mine in HARD. It makes plenty of power and uses no oil. YMMV.

For the first 50 mi, I was on the gas, off the gas all the way home. Never really brought it above 4500rpms.
Then, I just kind of drove it "normal" for another 100 mi or so.
After I hit 150 mi., I started to get on it a little.
It's got exactly 176 mi on it now.
I'll wait till I hit around 750-1000 mi. before I give it a "hard" launch and run it all the way through the rpms.
I guess it's the first 25 mi that determine if it will be an oil burner. You can't just putt along at a constant rpm.

Thanks Mike! I now have a grand total of 256 mi on it. I'm so sick of babying it already. That car wants me to drive it.

Two words - twin disk. ;-) Yes they're expensive, but TOTALLY worth it.

The galant looks nice but please tell me you didn't really tow it on a dolly...
And after looking at that 1G, now I know it must get HOT out there. If the sun could do that to the hood and engine, imagine what it could do to a human! ;)

I did.





















But the driveshaft was removed and riding inside the cabin the whole way, per the sage advice I received on GalantVR4.org. :thumbsup

Um, the fire did that to the hood. The fading clearcoat is the result of the sun and lower quality clear on early Mitsubishi products.

Had you going for a minute, eh? :P

Not really, I knew it had fire damage as soon as I saw the hood. ;)

Oh no you didn't. You thought it was really because of the sun out here. I know, Tony. That's how you operate! LOL.

It was over 80 yesterday afternoon, though. I had to bring shit into the shade with a fan to keep from breaking a sweat. ;)
