This car never had a VWR manifold. The silver car does and the blue 06 we just did does. This one has an AMS short runner manifold.

One of the nicest VIIIs I've ever sean. Could stand to focus on the interior though. With the amount of attention to detail on the outside, the interior looks neglected. Gorgeous car though. Question: what was the reason you chose the DESTROKED 4g64? Was it just because or is there some data avail suggesting it's a better baseline powerplant. If you already answered this question don't bother repeating yourself. I'll read the rest after work. Again, beautiful car!

I like the interior simple. Obviously the SE seats didn't come in this car, nor did the Defi dash pod, ARC knob, or the carbon dash, carbon armrest, or carbon shifter bezel. Subtle details along with the new seats gives me just the type of interior I like. I'm not sure what else you could do that wouldn't be gaudy.

As for the engine, I already have a 2.3 car which I love. This one is very different. The 2.1, aluminum rod engine, spins to infinity and makes it's power after 3500. I chose this set up simply as a contrast to the other Evo so I would have two Evos with two different personalities in terms of performance.

That's one hell of an Evo. That color and something similar to that body kit was what I was originally going for when I first planned to buy one. First time i've ever heard of a 2.1 being used too.

hey man how do you like the gauge pod setup on the steering column? I was about to get that setup but it seems like it covers the gas gauge.
