New here

So i have been lurking around for a while and made a few posts but decided to make a legit intro.

Well my name is andrew i used to drive a 4g eclipse...jaja i know i know. but i traded that car in for my new baby. i am really a mazda and mitsu person but im pretty much in love with any car that i can work on its prob the best time of my day when im racing or wrenching.


anyway here is the old ride.


the front getting worked on to look like this....not my car but the look was the same minus the sideskirts and wheels and all the black on mine was cf not paint


And now the current ride my 05 tb evo8.




2days after getting the car i ordered a few parts.

visors

fresh carpet

i dont have pics of my cf hood or cf vortex generator but i got those as well as a shorty antenna.

car still has paper plates but at the track....you can see the cf hood here.



EDIT::new pics of new stuff

had these for a while just didnt take pics

and have had this for a while but just took pics


fresh rubber!




thanks for looking im in the process of making this car look great so any input would be nice

Dont make the atrocious asthetic mistakes you made withe the eclipse. Your not starting off on the best foot by getting an HKS BOV. I hope you learn from your mistakes.

Return the BoV. Evo's HATE vent to atmosphere. Get yourself a nice JDM diverter valve.

Please don't do what you did to your eclipse to the Evo. I'm not saying this to **** you off, I'm just saying it to save you a lot of money an agony. If you want a good BOV, get the Evo 9 MR (metal) one! You can find them for $80-$100 shipped here
