popped my hood, stared at my engine, and said, "This stock car is slow. It needs to be faster."

 

powder coated wheels

 

Finished installing my FiTronic kit and relocated my wideband.

 

Blew the transfercase

 

Wow, 5 posts in 9 years. You sir, are the very definition of a lurker.

I know I don't post much, but damn.

 

^^ I was kind of the same way until I finally bought my evo last year lol

 

I know right and this is my 3rd Evo!!! In my defense, every issue I've had with the car has been answered on the forum. Now, I'm trying to get my post count up to put it up for sale

 

About to put these bad boys on



Advan rz2 - 17x9+35

 

That is the perfect size wheel for the Evo into! Good looking too.
I'm sad that all the good sized wheels cost so much. I just can't justify 2 grand for wheels. I'm glad others can though because they are nice to look at.

 

I actually lucked out and found a good deal on Craigslist lol. Found them for $1200. Yeah if I didn't find them I would've just kept using my stock IX BBS wheels lol...but they were powdercoated by the previous owner like KTM-Orange.... yepp

 

I walked in the garage looked at it sitting on jack stand for the 4th week in a row and thought damn i wish i had the money to finish this build already lol

 

Installed new tires, RE71R's. Mostly spent the day working on a mini van though fml.

 

I changed the oil because I treat it like it's my child lol.

 

Installed aerocatch hood latches. Man that was so stressful but I'm so pleased with the outcome. Took some pics so I might make a diy thread. Idk I've been kinda lazy lately lol.

 

Got a new turbo since my old one finally gave out after 7 years.. picked up the Blouch Dominator 2.0 XT-R the ball bearing version to replace my old journal bearing.. running great!
