well deciding on 2 things to do very soon


A. built motor,ported head and intake mani,alky,spring & retainers
B. Top Secret Gold paint job

1.the evo right now is sanded down and primered ready for paint.
2.it has 418awhp on straight 92 right now,so i have decent HP.

so either paint the car and dont build motor just yet,or leave it primered and build 2.0L

P.S. any evo guys in hawaii chiming in dont bother ive heard it all before,blah blah blah this and that...stop hating ( if in hawaii and dont personally know me,message not for you)

heres a dyno vid to get a look at the car..(it has gunmetal with chrome lip volks now)

LOL... hating. What a joke.

I'd paint it... since I'd be embarrased to drive it around how it looks now. And has looked for months.

 

haha didnt you read...well either way...paint or primer you will still be playing catch up
oh and i saw your octane tv special...that was a joke,lol...you said you got your evo9 in march of 05...i got my 8 in may of 05,9's werent even out yet idiot!LOL

 

paint it. you got decent hp. primered is no way to treat teh evo

 

paint it. top secret gold is sweet.

 

ya know one could tell its fast when its sitting in a parking lot, it would just look like a piece of crap car, leave the primered cars for the hatch backs and paint it ASAP!

 

im leaning towards paint now...its a cheaper project...and i do got the HP for now...probably do paint,then start putting money away for motor...all depends on tax return,and cost of plane ticket etc for tuner...

 

kind of a tough call. normally i'd opt for the "all business" route and I even have a place in my heart for flat black paint, but primer is temporary and ghetto. since you have good power, paint it.

 

Paint it!

 

paint it, but not the gold . just me

 

Yeah u got a 35R already.. might as well make it look slick...

A sick paint job will prolly be $$$...

 

I would do a paint job and at least add alky so you can make a little more power.

 

how much money is it to paint an evo? i was considering it

 

i have a tb evo, and it is a ***** to drive in harsh weather. i get so many little dings and scratches, and now sum idiot keyed my car. its very f-ed up!!!! so im considering paint it like pearl white or sumthing light. how much tho is it to paint a car, or wats the best price sum1's herd on repainting a car??

 

for all my supplie ( paint,thinner,reducer,etc) was $511 and it was dupont paint...and my boys bro in law is hooking me up for $500...hes a actual painter too,not some guy looking for money..since i already sanded it down,and no body work needed
