First time pics.. and build story!!!

This story starts out with a 2003 SVT focus euro edition. I bought the car used, totally stock. It was the car I wanted for the longest time. Black with the HID, Black leather recaro seats, and multi spoke gunmetal wheels.... I was in love the day I got her.... ANYWAY here is a pick the day before I traded her in....


Mods were... lowering springs/struts, intake, TB, ignition system, euro grill, and short shifter.

I had wanted an evo for so long but never thought I could afford one... until I got a new job and found this beauty in June 06!!
A WW 05 EVO 8 GSR......

The day I picked her up.....


Mods already on the car included... 280 cams, buschur down pipe (catless) and buschur exhaust, home made intake, buschur short upper pipe, junk mini battery, MBC, GREDDY turbo timer, and sanded stock wing. The car was boostin 22PSI and sounded so mean!! I drove it that summer and dint do any mods!!

Here are a few shots around town....



This spring I finally decided to start the building.... First mod was the Buschur mini battery kit....


Next came the new exhaust with hopes that one day I would get the JDM 9
bumper... I got the DC sport downpipe and GREDDY TI-C exhaust...




Then it was the WW vortex generator from AMS...

Then it was gauge pod and radio relocator kit...


Then new gauges... Autometer COBALT wideband and 45PSI boot gauge, and TRUTZ dash gauges...



NIGHT TIME SHOTS OF INTERIOR....



Then I turned to some show mods....
JDM 7 tails....



JDM 9 bumper....

and finally spray bombed wheels...


So here are a few pics of how she sits now....




So from this...

to this in one summer....


Mods as of now can be seen in my sig below......

Future mods are as follows for now... PTE 1000cc injectors for e85 tune next month, carbon fiber hood and trunk next spring, along with rota G force 18x9 in sport bronze.... well see what happens after that!!

Thanks for looking, comments are welcome!!

Holy fast&furious interior! Can you drive at night without techno music?

Otherwise beautiful ride, just a bit too bright inside for me

That wing looks so out of place! Cut that exhaust down to fit, lower it and you'll be set.
