One of the first modifications was deleting the clutch spring. Feels so much better, however I'd prefer the pedal to be even stiffer.

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.

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.

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.
