HKS IC Pipe kit (self installed with the help of danielskshin)
Tanabe Cat back (installed by mightygnu)
Tanabe springs (installed by mightygnu)
AEM intake (self installed)

I have AMS shifter bushings, AMS HFC, and C-West hood scoop en route ... all of which I will install on my own. I would like to install as much on my own as possible but am very n00b to doing work on cars. If I can find a tutorial I'll read over it and see if its something I'd be able to tackle ... but I am totally aware of my limitations.

NO I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A BAN, I have been out of work for over 9 months. I also know how to work on cars so i figured I'd put it out there that i can help & hopefully stay a float while i do so.

you just joined so it's a newbie mishap. but if you read there are a dime a dozen members that offer to tear down your shit and put it back together for peanuts. not that your work is not credible but just keep it on the dl. word by mouth would be your best bet. keep wrenching brother O0

personally i have seen better work from some of the members here than from some of the shops...but that's another story. :twisted:

+1 to this, i did some work for a guy, he posted about it and they banned my PM box....so keep your work as helping out someone. what you make off it, is your business.

Also, to the op, dont cry so much when people say something against you. not everyone is going to be right by your side with what you say and the faster you learn that the faster we can all go on living our lives. plenty of people have been off work for a long ass time, so nothing make you so special to throw a fit about it. at least you still have your car unlike some of the members that had to sell there shit. so, from the community, chill out a bit.

Sorry, you must be rich and milking the actual hired help j_nizzle & Sxhawnn.


Its not even about sick skin, I think its just about being oversensitive. I'm not rich and I dun scoff at people that do their own installs, I try as much as I can but most of the time I ask for help. But I was just pointing out the obvious. Advertising doing installations for money and then calling us assholes for pointing out the fact that your gonna get banned.

I have shops do all my installs. Â*And WOW you really race in the canyons? So do you have any time slips for this "racing"? Trophies? Money? Pics of a skank in a bikini next to your car? Does Mitsubishi corporate sponsor you?
Another question... I'm curious... You tune your X yourself? Ecuteck? AEM? Accessport? What are you using to tune your vehicle? Do you canyon race and tune at the same time? Cuz that would be pretty cool! BTW what suspension are you running? Suspension settings? Tires? What PSI are your tires set at? So you rely heavily on that ACD and AYC your car came equipt with? I know this "Canyon" you speak of...there's quit a bit of traffic on it getting to Chino Hills... Its not too challenging really. It has some gravel in areas...reminds me of Santiago Canyon a bit...except it has more trees, houses, and traffic at all hours. So after your "racing" does the litte coffee cup turn on in your cluster to remind you to rest? My Evo isn't that advanced so I kinda have to rely on my senses to drive the car. Well happy modding and "racing"!

Maybe the EvoX is replacing the Tumbler in the new movie. They could be going back to the old Bat-Suit ya know. Maybe that's what his sig pic is alluding to:

Wow see people really are fucken airheads. Since when does SMALL FEE specifically mean MONEY.

I meant it as in a beer, food, alcohol or even just privileging me with driving your ride after I help you fix it.

BUT WHATEVER, I'M OVER IT. I DO MODS MYSELF, NEVER BITCH OUT OF A CHALLENGE. OH & BY THE WAY PAY FOR YOUR SHIT TO BE TUNED. I DID MY TUNE MYSELF, ARE YOU HAPPY YOU GOT MILKED.

:mitsu: :mitsu: :mitsu: :mitsu: :mitsu: :mitsu: :mitsu: :mitsu: :mitsu: :mitsu:

Racing the canyon is only illegal if you get caught or are a crappy driver & crash. OTHERWISE PROVE IT WAS DONE OFFICER.


LOL nobody is assuming shit. You yourself said that you lost your job and your hoping that doing installs will keep you affloat. Does that mean that some beer and some rides will pay your bills?

Obviously I see what the title says, but I also see what your first post says.Â* Maybe you should change the title to:Â* "Re: What MODS do you have & did you do them yourself? btw I charge for installs"

Oh yea btw i'm not the air head.Â* Since when did small fees mean money? well I just looked it up on dictionary.com and small means "insignificant" while fee means:

"1. a charge or payment for professional services: a doctor's fee.Â*
2. a sum paid or charged for a privilege: an admission fee."

So hence small fee means a small amount of money.

I usually don't like getting into it with people on the forums but it seems like you called me an asshole because I "assumed" that fee means money and told you you were gonna get banned for it.

Nothing personal btw, I'm just stating the obvious

LOL i did cite dictionary.com and are you reading what your citing? there are multiple instances in there where fee means "money". Unless your referring to "the hire of land" LOL.

Please stop with the ignorance, when you say small fee, everybody knows you mean money. Why try to hide it now. Especially after you admitted that you wanna do installs to "keep you afloat" Wait does that mean to help you float in water in some way or does that mean like help you pay the bills.

I'm confused now. Since fees don't mean money to you, does afloat mean like to help you swim?

LOL YOU ARE HILARIOUS MY FRIEND

Lets recap.Â* First you say:

"hey guys what parts have you installed and oh btw i can help for a small fee"

To which you later admit that OoO i want to do this so I can "stay afloat"

Then you change your mind and say "hey you guys have got me all wrong, you guys are the asstards for assuming i meant money"

Fee can mean "beer or right to land" <--- this statement is completely irrelevant because its just pointing out an alternative meaning to the word

"So there haha I pwn you and your stupid, how dare you assume I meant money"


Here's an analogy

One of my male friends says "hey BRAD PITT IS HOTT"

And I would say dude stop being "gay"

ANd he could reply dude stop being a homophobe and my hypothetical reply (analogous to yours) would be

"DUDE how dare you assume that I meant homosexual, I meant happy and giddy because thats what gay can also mean, so there, I pwn you and your stupid"

LOL do you see the retardedness of your argument?

And if you don't see the validness of this analogy, its you who can't keep up and not the analogy that doesn't make sense.

EDIT: Oh yea when I cited dictionary.com it's only for the word "fee" those are the first two definitions it gives.

Maybe instead of using the word fee, you could have been more specific.

anyways, back on topic. i do most of the work on my car by myself except for headwork/valvetrain work, usually have my friend help me with the electrical stuff.
