yes still a lot of stuff to take out. that is behind the dash and under the hood. but didnt get to it. trying to do it were dont need to cut anything . next should be some nice rims. stock are around ~21-22 ones im looking at are 15.5 so that shaves off a nice amount and that rotasonal weight aswell. also coilovers - which inprove handling and also take weight off, then have ac, heat, replace windows (glass) with lexan. so so much more to go with. will keep every one posted. as well CF trunk and hood if can find a dc sport deal.

I don't do any banning, that's the mods. Looking at those pics, I see nothing to be "jelus" of. I'm quite happy with a full weight, full interior Evo that still owns at every type of track event I attend. That's what's great about the Evo. If I wanted a stripped out full race car, I would not have bought a new Evo w/SSL then modded it. I would have started with a $3000 shell and spent the other $27k making it a world beater.

dont be scared of me. and can you stop always high jack my thread and get them locked because of your comments to me. you do your thing and i do my thing. whats the big deal. there is no big deal every one has there own thing. and when you enter the events try and be in the pro class and not the beginer class. and if anything why not we go to the track and have some fun. us as my friends dont need to go to events and win shiv. why we dont need to be the big *** and do it. but we can, so lets make a date and meet up at the track and we will have some fun. a friendly funm becasue i myself dont want someone like you runing me off the road. what do you say. do you agree the challonage?
