So my goal was set off to buy as many parts as i could lol.

How she looks almost 2 months later








I do all my own work on my car and i love the way she sits now

Btw Im only 19 Years old and i work my butt off to afford this.

My life consists of working 35 hours a week and giong full time in college (Busy Boy here)

But more to come guys

I just ordered

Enkei RPF1's in 17x9.5 +18 SBC

Yes u read that right + 18.

I cant wait till i get my wheels in this tuseday

Sample pic



Here's two sample pics

Many more to come
Btw fitment in the rear was easy

 

Just want to say thanks to all the companies Ive delt with

 

Wingless FTW!!

 

now thats how a tb evo should look

 

Haha yup


Btw I updated the engine short, looks better imo

 

switch the exhaust looks funny hangin down that way.. otherwise looks awesome keep it up..

 

IM actuallly taking my car to Rc autoworks next week to have my exhaust shortened so it looks better.

 

I was wanting a black one when I bought mine, now I wish I would have stuck to my guns. Beautiful car and tastefully done.

 

Nice! You're probably has tons of money huh?!

 

What?

 

Not much time for sleep. Very nice results, though.

 

full time student as well, working 40+ hours/wk to afford my evo, but all I can afford is to pay for it... so you're a lucky man.

 

Nice turn around. im trying to do the same thing myself. keep up the good work.

 

nice!

 

Hahah I work a lot and do a lot of sidejobs on car..

Ima a mechanic at BMW and I lov my job

Well I'll be honest the reason I afford the car easily is because I bought the car under my parents name so my payment is low and my insurance is way cheap

- believe my next step to this car is coilovers and lossing weight
