probably would be a good idea to post where you live... and then search around there for fellow evo owners to guide you... it would also help if they are well modded and have done the work themselves, or most of it

Appearantly you don't know what's going on on the internet either. "Show & Shine" is for pictures, not tech help.


Much love, doggie.

Whatever you do dont buy parts hastily.....do your research and I suggest staying w/ one or two companies when buying modified parts. Specific companies build parts to work best w/ the other parts they've designed to get maximum results. Usually you can buy parts in stages or packages and see significant gains.

oh yeah, congrats & welcome to the Evo community

the quickest way i learned about my evo was i tore just about the entire car apart and then rebuilt it.

PS: item need to tear apart your evo:

Sockets: 10mm, 12mm, 14mm 17mm
flat head screw driver

o and 5652344 plastic clips because your going to break everyone you pull out

Whatabout a repair manual, maybe? That would atleast tell you the parts exactly. (Atleast, it should)

Usually nice...

Maybe you should change your sig to

"if you know nothing about cars, why drive an Evo?"

Seriously, if your that thin skinned when you have already admitted you dont know much, you are posting on the wrong site...
