One of the first modifications was deleting the clutch spring. Feels so much better, however I'd prefer the pedal to be even stiffer.
Attachment 201028 A tribute to my EVO X - love the side mounted license plate. Plus I believe the stock mount would've blocked the airflow to the radiator a bit. Grimmspeed license plate mount. Attachment 201029 Last edited by Arthur-A; 07-04-2021 at 04:54 PM. |

Organizing the trunk for keeping stuff in place. Bought a plastic box from Ikea. There was a label sticker on the lid. When I tore it off it left some adhesive residue so I decided to sticker bomb it with whatever stickers I had left - which were HKS ones from a turbo timer I purchased for my EVO. Hopefully more stickers will be added soon
I was worried about it sliding all over the trunk, but then I got an idea. I flipped the trunk mat that came additionally with the car. The underside is made of rubber so the box stays in place even during some "spirited" maneuvers |

Decided to use Redline 0w30 for my 86. I used Redline 5w40 in my EVO - was very happy with it.

Very nice start! Clutch pedal spring was also my first mod, loved it!

Thanks! Funny thing is, I did similar mod to my EVO X when I had it. There was a small restrictor pill in the clutch slave cylinder. After removing it I immediately noticed the improved shifting feel.
