it drives great, it handles very similar to my DD S2000 and its much easier to drive on the track with the extra torque. Also the car is still 50/50 so other than the HP and TRQ numbers its just like my DD.

it is actually Mitsubishi EVO Ruri Blue from 2005 model but when it is right next to my 06 Yamaha R6 it is a dead ringer for the color.

Here are some pictures of my recent heater re-install and tuck you can only see about 8-10 inches of the hoses where they come off the water pump. I had to modify the heater core so the in/out would come up and out through the cowl and not the firewall and then modify and mount the heater valve in the cowl along with running the cable that controls the valve. I hope you all like it.

Amazing build! Just the fact that the "feel" remains similar to your dd has got me thinking of doing it to my s2k. Pm sent more details needed
