That is good stuff indeed, I am probably going to run it sooner than later and give a review on it.

As for the exhaust all is well and sounds good except I now have a crack in my exhaust manifold, I believe it happened while using anti-lag on the track, 2 step just wasn't building enough boost. Oh well, I'm going to buy a new one and have the current one repaired properly and saved as a back-up.

were did it crack? if you need someone that can fix it let me know i can do it at school.

Where the wastegate runner meets the collector. I haven't decided where I'm going to get it done yet, I'll keep you in mind.

Ok, got a new manifold for 200 from a part out, score. It's basically the same one, T3 ramhorm OBX, don't plan on running high boost or anti-lag on it. It's at the ceramic coaters right now http://www.performancecoatings.com/, really looking forward to seeing how the coating performs, my expectations are probably higher than they should be. Getting it done in 2000* satin gray ice, (a rich, dark gray with the hint of metal flake and a glossy finish) inside and out.

Also going to be moving to Evans waterless coolant (as metioned by slowdsm) and a 155* thermostat over my current 180* thermostat water/water wetter combo. Expecting awesome results from this as well and having almost no water pressure will be an added bonus, and non toxic! check out this video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkNz-ANfUkc

Got the manifold back from performance coatings and I must say this thing is as beautiful as it is functional. For reference I would hardly be able to hold onto the dip stick when checking the oil after driving. A buddy gave me an idea to do a hard pull then immediately get out of the car and grab the dip-stick, well it was pretty warm but I could easily squeeze it hard with my fingers and hold it there no problem, I was pretty impressed. On this manifold the dipstick is about 1/8-1/4" from the runner. I haven't really driven the car enough to notice a drop in coolant temps but I'm sure they are effected positively as well considering the manifold is also close to the radiator.

Thanks! Same MPH as my last best on street tires, only difference this time was slicks. I still have not ran the car at full power, I think next month if the track is open and the weather is nice I'll go for broke. She is easily good for mid 11s at mid 120s.

^Thanks

Got some custom door panels done and installed, thanks Coltsfan! and 91talonharv420 for the amber corners and custom gauge pod, got the AEM WB mounted in it, looks great and a perfect fit for the gauge... now I just need a couple more digital AEM gauges to fill the empty slots. Heater core all hooked up and ready for winter. The biggest thing the car needs now is a nice seat set-up and a decent dash.

I also have a little headlight project in mind. I'm going to remove the glass cover from the backing using the baking method and install some gold reflector in the bright light housing for that "JDM bro" look, hope that isn't too ricey but I think it's going to turn out pretty good and help to compliment the amber corners. I did a similar headlight project on my Scion and it turned great. I'm thinking of doing a reverse fog mod too, it will consist of the factory lens with red overlay and a nice bright bulb wired to a switch. It will hopefully serve some function in my twilight weather. Of course a Lancer rear bumper swap would be ideal but hard to justify.

Little update,
Parts on order:

Centric Refurbished DSM rear calipers
EBC Yellow stuff pads
ABT Drilled&Slotted rotors
ATE Super Blue DOT 4 fluid
Yoshi Fab strut bar for rear
1g FWD TechnaFit SS brake lines 8.
ARP wheel studs
Russel speed bleeders
STM -6an Dip stick tube with new oem stick
Full Blown -6an purple/black fittings
Additional custom catch can to be mounted behind drivers headlight.

Currently in the middle of swapping out the Super 20g for another one. That way I can send one out for Billet wheel and rebuild without any down time. Also trimming the perches down on the coilovers so I can get those fitted and dialed in. :D

Note: DSMs/Mitsus used smaller bleeders after the summer of 92' at M7, pre 92.5 is M10. I guess my GVR4 Calipers are late model as they are M7 and I had ordered a set of M10, oh well.

That looks really nice. What coating is that on the manifold?
