Some times you just need to set a goal. So here’s mine.

Drive my Galant VR-4 to Lake Superior Perfomance Rally. It’s only about a 2.5 hour drive from my house, but the longest drive I’ve taken my Mitsu on was the 15 mile drive home.

Things I need to do.

finish the timing belt/water pump change I’m in the middle of. Along with the odds and ends that go with it, ie, new plugs, coolant flush, oil change, new thermostat

get the car aligned, and get new tires put on, cross my fingers that the tire shop doesn’t find anything under the car that is immediately dangerous. probly just going to go ahead and get snows put on the stock wheels(because paved roads are only a thing used to get from one dirt road to the next).

Figure out why my blower motor hardly moves any air, and find out if the heat works. I’m pretty sure the fan is has a mouse nest in it, the previous owners let the car sit thru winters so year it has some rodent problems.

Those are just the things that NEED to get done, lets not even mention the things I WANT to do.

and I have 19 days to finish it all.

Oh yeah and I NEED to install my dang boost gauge

I scored a goal in rec soccer today. Does that count? Really though I need to replace a bunch of bushings and at 182k miles I need to think about my timing belt soon. But first is paying off medical bills. Joy.

Hurray from paying insane amounts of money for the privilege of being alive and somewhat healthy! Right now I have no health insurance, and crossing my fingers that I don’t have a major asthma attack and need to go to the ER. But I really looking forward to paying more than my wife’s car payment for the government mandated health insurance that i’ll need to sign up for in November. Thank God I live in the land of the Free.

utilitarian, with a polite demeaner and positive attitude, not yet jaded by life, but likely with poorly chosen body art.

;)

cheers kid, wish i had some advice for your boost gauge.

Indeed, you’ll get ‘er done. You’re also, consciously or not, listing the fixes in order of priority.

BTW it’s nice to see a proto-Evo still on the road! Post some pics sometime.

No body art here. I greatly disagree with the core idea of tattoos. I was tempted to get one about 4 years ago. and you know what, I’m so freaking glad I don’t have a parkour reference on my forearm right now. You know the worst part is? The main reason I wanted said poorly chosen body art, was to impress the batshit insane yet equally god damn fine girl I was with at the time(the last girl before my current wife).

I feel as tho I may be less the owner, and more the care taker of this car due to it’s rarity. Not only because only about 3000 of them were brought to the States, but also because most of them were either wrecked, or have rusted away.

That however will not stop me from modding it to my liking, when and where I see fit.

when I read “proto-Evo” this is what came to mind

well done kid. sorry for continuously calling you kid, youre clearly a grown man, but still younger than i, and so i’m pulling rank.

apologies also for the stereotyping. was going off what you mentioned, ie 20 something punk. i do believe i was spot on with politeness and attiude though. you do seem to have quite the weekends ahead of you with the mitsu maintenance.

godspeed.

Yeah the mitsu has a long list of things that are 25 years old.

and I’m by no means offended by being called a kid. I know I’m nowhere near being a fully functioning adult, but I also call anyone under 21 a kid, or anyone still living with their parents hahaha. And if loook back at 21 year old me and see a dumbass kid, I’m sure 5 years from now I’ll think the same thing when I look at 25 year me.
