Awhit17's 'OEM +' Evo IX Build
#31
The Evo got another goodie in the mail today, I found this guy and will be replacing the Tomei Piston oil cap with it. If you've ever held one in person, you know that besides looking fancy this is also a really well made piece

So the previous owner of this car in his infinite knowledge decided to put Tein S-Tech springs on the MR Bilsteins, and I have been looking for ways to reverse this decision from day 1. The Bilsteins are still in good condition, but I was deciding between going back to stock, doing a revalve and adding Swift springs or purchasing coilovers. With the news that Bilstein no longer revalves OEM CT9A shocks, my decision was partly made for me. I think these plus a RCK will do though more to come soon!

Thanks everyone! First post has been updated with my Pre-April Checklist for the car, a lot is going to be tweaked, touched up or changed!
Also: if anyone is interested in my HKS Downpipe, ETS MAF Intake w/ Essentially Brand New Amsoil Filter or my HKS Carbon-Ti Exhaust lmk! They will be up for sale soon and are all in good condition.
Also added to the first post I added my assessment of the previous owners' mods that were on the car when I got it.....because I'm a little bored tonight

Haven't posted in a while...but my car is undergoing some TLC at the moment. New brakes, refinishing the calipers and....some other new things. One of which you can see in the picture

Things are going well, I can't wait until I can hit the road and enjoy the clean-up project!

Thank you sir! My PC guy really killed it, the Brembo lettering is actually stenciled on in Cerakote instead of a sticker, and then the entire thing is cleared with high-temp clear coat. They came out so awesome in person. I'm really happy with the valve cover too, it was pretty beat when I got the car.
