unlike most of poeple here, for some reason when i fell inlove with a car i start buying things for it before i even get the car .
with that beying sed:




i picked up the wheels from mega-z (another evom member)
and the turbo kit from a very good friend of mine that wrecked his car a few months ago.
after i was finished with the sti project i decided to hunt down an affordable evo 8. for those wondering what the sti looked like:



so i had found an 03 as evo 8 with high mileage at a very low price so i jumped on it, i didnt mind the motor cuss i was gonna send it in for a full built

so after i bought the car and took the motor out for a built procedure i decided to take the car to a body shop to paint the engine bay

 

Those are prob my favorite style of rim.

 

when i took the car to the body shop i decided to paint the whole car since it had a couple of scratches, i figuered i'd change the color and paint it like my fx since i love that color,








had bought an evo 9 front bumper so i had the paint that also


after 2 weeks in the body shop the car was finally out, and on its way to the fun part

 

I like the color, any bigger pics?

 

while the car was at the body shop my motor was being built.
this is what it looked like before droping it on the car:






I did a little list of all the parts that if not already on the car then they r in my garage ready to go on the car.
