What to buy

[Davids4g63]

Hi guys im getting my new Evo tommarow and was gonna buy the triple guage piller pod i know to get a boost guage but what should i get to fill in the other two? if you could provide links would be greatly appreciated thanks so much guys

Personally i'm not a fan of the triple pillar since it does block some of your view and your putting you business out there. What year evo are you getting? Also what mods does it have right now? a boostgauge is the only one i would go with until you figure out your plans for it. Boost, wideband AFR, and maybe oil pressure is what i would buy. you should do basic matience on your evo if your buying a used one before you spend mods on aftermarket stuff

its a stock 05 evo gsr..its been used. i have to drive 190 miles to get it. before i drive it back im gonna take it to mitsubishi and have the oil changed. i just ordered the defi boost guage for it today it will be here next week

one owner car? how many miles? have mitsu look over the whole car if it hasnt been modded. Also congrats and welcome to the family. if you need something or need help feel free to PM me!

Thnx i havent bought the car yet..i test drove it yestarday i went over the whole car i was looking under it at the exhuast to make sure the bolts were not shiny like the exhaust has been removed. i wiggled the intake it wasnt to loose i looked at the radiator fan it was in really good shape i checked the oil and smelt it. it smelt like it had a gas mixture in it. when i test drove the car it seemed kinda week. it seemed like my celica gts had more power. i couldnt really tell because i had the dealer screeming in my ear telling me not to hot rod the car. so i dont know

go back and re test drive and tell him to not be ababy and if he really wants the car gone that you need to see that the car is running properly......the car may have had a aftermarket exhaust on it and they replaced it or the previous owner did so it would pass inspection. def find out mielage and any previous history that you can

[Davids4g63]

i Looked at the carfax report it had 1 previous owner and its got 70,000 miles on it. apperantly the previous owner was some old guy that enjoyed driving because it said previous owner deciesed and the car was put on auction so idk.

Boost, Wide Band, Oil Press.

also check and see if it had the tbelt service. if not thats a lot of money out of pocket right off the bat.

[Davids4g63]

It did. i checked with mitsubishi to see what warranty repairs it had..i had came in for rotors tbelt and battery and 5th gear sync. guy said there was some grinding in it or something
