Here's a preview pic of a friend's heavily modified Evo VII in Hong Kong. Will post more later...

After riding in the car on a spirited drive via the curvy roads of south HK Island, I have new found appreciation for the Evo VII's handling capabilities and only look forward to how the VIII will do. Here are more pics of the stunning machine, enjoy!






uprated pads and rotors from stock

HKS exhaust, MB PDC fittings

That must be a hack of a ride in the Shek-O area, right...

I think I saw it yesterday night in Happy Valley...
I know a Japanese dude who drive a almost identical one except he has a big *** CF wing.

Then I saw a black one and a silver one with blue decals.

They are everywhere in HK! It sucks that I'm leaving next week

BTW radar detectors are illegal in HK, although I'm also using a Valentine
almost got caught once, I was quick enough to throw it in the glove box

ChrisEVO, any pics of your car to share? I know of owner who resided in my building with a White Evo VII GSR who had gotten rid of it for a C32.

I've got some pics in the register...C32s are mighty fast, but they're really overpriced here in HK...US$ 90,000 (700,000HK$), that's not including insurance, liscencing and other expenses...not to mention that gas is about $7 a gallon

funny you mentioned that as any car in that medium price range and over is overpriced (thanks to our tax system on cars) if you compare it to US MSRP. Just be glad we don't have to pay Singaporean prices...

his C32 is nice albeit it's a bit too common in HK (especially a silver one), but what catches my eye everytime I drive by his spot in the car park is his yellow Modena parked right in front of it
