Welcome to the dark "evil" side. Don't forget to wipe your feet before you enter.

I to came from a world of 240's. I had a zenki with rb20 swap. Reason I jumped over to the evo was because I got tired of constantly trying to find parts for the rb (which was impossible) and the car was so small. The evo had everything I wanted and it came stock like that.
