BG Syncroshift according to all the EVO folks. Personally Iwould stick with the Mitsu fluid.

clutch fluid... again what is recomended???

Any synthetic DOT 3-4 fluid. Not mineral.

what else does everyone recomend??

Actually you covered just about everything. Maybe a spark plug and wire change. That would be NGK Classic plugs, and stock Mitsubishi wires.

Oh, and I want to see some pics of this clean *** GSX : )

Yeah I have heard of those fusing to the paint under heat... and removing paint when you take them off.

Ya, they are terrible on the paint job.. My brother had one when I was younger and the paint peeled right off under it.. My wife had one on her maxima and you could see the paint starting to go to crap when we traded it in..

If you want to protect the paint, put 3M Clear Vinyl over it. That stuff is bad ***

You should also replace the fuel and air filters.
