Well folks, in addition to being the proud owner of a mighty 92 GSX, a troubled 95 TSi, a beater 90 Laser FWD turbo, and currently working on a 99 GST 6 bolt swap, I have purchased a new LanEvo.
Sorry guys, I'm keeping the GSX forever, but the Evo was just too tempting to stay away from for long. I feel guilty for owning a car this sweet, as I should. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

Okay, I'm done with the indash for right now. It's not perfect, but I missed having a screen and I'll touch it up when I have more time. Keep in mind that the lower trim peice should be in the dealership tomorrow to cover the head unit and the major damage to the dash was done by theives and I refuse to replace it because of the cost. Here's the pics though....
  And, I put on the FMIC and intercooler piping, but my POS camera lost all the pics I took of the installation.... ...but, I do have pics of the ignition I just finished putting on the car a few minutes ago. Yes, DSM parts do make Evo's go faster. Sure, it looks ugly as hell with the wiring but I just wanted to make sure it would work before I cleaned it all up. It's not half-assed if I claim the job isn't complete yet.   In response to the earlier questions, ICE = in car electronics, or at least that's what I think since I've never had the acronym explained to me. No, Mike, I haven't been on that website. I just peiced the whole system together off the top of my head pretty much and I'm hoping those in the know (such as yourself) won't be laughing their asses off at the mismatched set of components. It's been a while since I had a 'system' in a car and I'm admittedly out of touch. But, it sounds decent to me and I'm my most important critic. I'm thinking about fiberglassing an enclosure in the trunk well, but I don't know if I want to pay for a new amp and sub since the one I have is dedicated to the enclosure. I've got a few more choice parts in the mail. The car seems to be shaping up pretty well, though admittedly, much faster than I anticipated. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food
