**also planning some very special interior work to compliment our Orbital Prestige 2-DIN Kit.. stay tuned!!

The R-Type and Nisei Parts are installed..

 

cant wait to see it finished!

 

Thanks Naj! Neither can I...but it's as though the list never ends.

Regardless, I'm really hoping to see us all bring some strong representation and recognition to TSE at SEMA this year.

 

I'm excited

Sorry it has taken me so long to order your kit Rich, but being a student as well as someone who wants to be in Japan all the time it's hard for me to bring myself to shelling out the kit and another 1500 for a navi unit >.<

Mark my words I WILL eventually buy one, because the Evo's interior is not complete without it.

haha, don't worry Aaron...we've all been in your shoes before. The kit will be there whenever you're ready.

 

Interesting turbo kit choice. Any particular reasons?

 

GT 2835 FTL!!Why not Buschur 20G-9-LT??

 

looking good...

 

I remember your car from the pallisades meet. Looks great man.

 

Yellow EVO's rule

 

Nice clean car FTW! and loving the goodies too.

 

Nice looking ride. Any reason you guys decided to go all out HKS?

 

for the love...


Much respect to a great turbo selection keep up the good work!

 

Thanks man, it's come quite a long way since then. We'll have to make it a point to put together another meet for the beginning of spring, 2007.

Had Buschur's new 20G-9-LT come out prior to my purchase of the GT2835, I would have given it some serious thought. Buschur and his boys manufacture excellent products and their work is second to none. However, as much as I don't want to admit it, I could be a real JDM ***** now and again and this kit shows it.

The GT2835 spools very nicely on the stock 2.0 providing impressive numbers on both pump/race gas. Also, the kit makes swapping out in favor of a GT3037S very easy once I choose to build the motor and increase displacement.

I'm very impressed with most of the HKS parts lineup. Not everything of course, but most of their stuff really grabs my attention. Also, i'm trying to match the combination of parts as consistently as possible.
