I was thinking of getting black because it is nice too. I would put bronze rims on it but everyone has already used that color scheme.

I like red. Ive always love red. Its an attention getter. Thats what color im gonna get. Without a sunroof. What rims would be good on a red evo?

Or if anyone is selling a red evo without a sunroof with less than 10-15K miles on it, id be willing to see your offers.

I heard that the red has no clearcoat and some of the plastic panels are turning pink? I have silver. Love it. Always looks clean and doesn't attract so much attention. Love yellow too.

Get YELLOW LOL, j/k....If those were my 2 choices I would get Black. All our previous cars have been black so we were kind of getting tired of taking care of them (Black's a PITA to keep clean out in the country), so now we have Yellow

Woah slow down

You cant JUST throw in a turbo kit
Do some research first because if you dont your gonna mess something up
Best thing to do is to do a mod then get the car to run right. After that, mod again and get the car to run correctly
600-700hp is impossible on stock internals
If you want that much, plan on spending a lot more than 5 grand.
Take it easy and look that some tuner's staged options
Buschur is a nice way to go

o..no, don't get me wrong. i have thought about ssome of the vividracing packages that they have for handaling and performence. yeah i'm going to do it the right way but that doesn't mean that i can't get a good deal on a turbo kit in the mean time . yup, right now i'm looking at sway bars, suspension, and little things to help me get to 300hp right now. but turbo timer and hks bov i'm looking to order soon.

LOL, first get the car broken in. In the meantime do some research and find out what will suit your driving the best. I know its cool to have the fastest car, btu sometimes that comes at a big price. This is coming from someone who was building a 9 sec MR2 believe me, that is not a good street car and not to mention not reliable. Good Luck and congrats on th enew car.

welcome my tarmac brethren.

do BOVs actually do anything? i've read the stock ones are fine and that aftermarket ones are just for attention-getting.
