Nope, no bushings are in except the console bushings.

On another note. Good news, looks like I'm probably getting sponsored by my dealer =]. I'm really lucky to have these guys, they really break the mold when it comes to mitsu dealers. Mod friendly, tons of experience, experience with the aftermarket. Pretty boss IMO.

That is pretty sweet dude. I wish our dealer was that cool. But instead, they suck balls

it's rare for a dealership to care enough for sponsorships. I dominated Mitsu sales tenfold when I worked at one, and was good friends with the GM and sales manager - but not a chance

More info on the dealer please, it would be worth the drive to have one that would at least treat you like a human being.

Hoover Mitsubishi in Charleston, SC. Any time you want to make the trip sir, I'm on a first name basis with all the guys here, they're all awesome, and Matt, the tech who works on my car, is great.

On that note, Matt gave me both of the Evo X Electrical Manuals for 2008 and 2012 since they will be helpful in my determining which wire is the tach wire for when I install my shift beeper. He says they have an online version so no need for the paper ones that he gave me.



Here are pics from the ring + pinion of my transfer case. According to the dealer, they believe that that wear patterns are not symmetrical and instead run off the edge of gear and are not centered as depicted in the top row image (top left in my case).




I hope one of these images comes out well enough for Jacks to be able to tell....

what does the sponsorship entail and what are the requirements on your part?
