The Evo is ALIVE , finally>>>

That intercooler is so huge, I have to change plans and get the Do-Luck CF lip vs the Gialla bumper.











And a little movie:
Just some idle and some 4K revs, nothing crazy. That was taken right after the car started. Now we have the AEM in, and will be installing th rest of the stuff, so some more donut movies are on the way.

Things on teh way, waiting to be installed:

- intake manifold/80mm TB
- direct port NOS system, probably 70 shot on teh stock engine
- ATS triple carbon clutch
- Tein flexes

That will be good for some 15-18psi runs

In mid January, the engine will be out for a race build. So in late February, the car will be setup to run 35-40psi

Everybody that sees that FMIC freaks out My poor stock bumper

Beautiful! Simply Beautiful! Too bad about FMIC not quite fitting, there goes your stock look :-( Oh, and you gotta use blue rad hoses to match the rest of the couplings ;-) Keep us posted...

Let me take it out and detail it

The catch cans look killer, don't you agree? Kinda hard to keep them polished though, you can always see fingerprints on it.

Now i have to keep my FMIC clean...

Actually, when you do something like that, time goes by. I have not even paid attention that it was that early when I finished the AEM. And of course, I messed with my Defi HeadsUp timer/boost gauge, catch can, some more wrap, etc. Now I will do the UEGO, ign box, boost control. etc...

If I were that Evo I would be smiling too!!! (Just look at that first picture!) Hell, that Evo went from a simple smile to an unadulterated **** eating grin, and it fits! That just says "I am going to suck you up and spit you out." I guess you will put some sort of screen over the front opening, I would hate to see that beautiful I/C get hurt by road debris. Looks awsome though! I say leave it the way it is, it looks **** off mean in that first picture.

Holy **** George. That thing is a work of art. I can't wait until I'm ready to do my clutch and cams so I can drive back down there and see the mother of all EVOS!!!!!!
