curved looks fine on the brakes man. BTW, I am really truly impressed by you; I know you could afford all those nice parts that you did in the past but now you are seeing what works for cheaper and you are not trying to be like "oh it's ok it, does the exact same thing", so I again would love to shake your hand for being a great person to look up to. I think your son will have such a great life because of the decisions you have started to make and again, I am truly impressed by the way you carry yourself.

WOW! Thanks for the MEGA I can honestly say I am not the same person I was 1 year ago. For me, life is much different now. The only thing I care about is giving my son the best chance at a great life. I am even actually planning on moving next year to a better location for schools and activities for our son. I had it rough growing up and I dont my son to have to go through that. Not that he wont have to earn and appreciate things, but if he says he wants to do something I want him to have the means to do so. There is no way to explain the feeling I get when he looks into my eyes and falls asleep in my arms at night. Its priceless and more important to me than anything right now.

I could've easily bought real Volk's and other expensive things for the evo but its more fun making it a budget build and knowing I am doing the right thing for Austin. I havent told anyone that we are moving but that is the main reason I have been watching what I spend on this build. Even sold my race bike today And as I mentioned I think its a build more can relate to anyways. Its easy to dump a ton of money into an evo and make it fast. The hard part is being cautious on $ spent and making it fast, streetable, and reliable. I feel I will have the perfect set up and will work through some changes once its up and running. Brakes come tomorrow and it will look more like an evo once she is back on all four More pics to come tomorrow night if FED EX shows up Thanks for the sincere compliment. I truly enjoy my new life and once we have a daily drivable evo life will be perfect

I put Austin in the Rhino while I was waiting for my friend to show up and this is what he does. He may just have it in him

On the wheel center caps: If you are going to track the car, and drive it hard on the track, you will melt the plastic center caps on the wheels. Mine softened up and distorted. That is with Carbotech XP12's, Dba rotors and a brake duct kit.

I also redid the stickers today. M-W has the hyphen in it now and the MOST-WANTED has more of a curvature to it. Thanks for the tips guys. Also got the J PIPE welded up. It now has a bung hole-LOL.... Also dropped the trunk off today. My friend will weld up the holes and then respray it. Should be done on Friday. Getting closer.....


same thing i did to mine looks like the same bung size and everything. the BR does require some fabbing but the end result is well worth it. Your evo's looking really awesome man. black and that green looks great.

Thanks... And he seems to love them which is a good thing I guess we'll keep him LOL.. The BR pipe needed a little love but it is ready to go now.

And I will not be running center caps. Not worth the hassle or issues. And those Carbotech XP12's are amazing arent they???

He is growing fast Brian. Are you planning on sticking with the stock exhaust manifold or you plan on porting it like you did with the white car?
