Its a beatrush aluminium foot rest. Its supposed to work with carpet, so we had to modify it..

Thanks mate! Car runs a half cage. Managed to keep it out of the photo..

 

the front lip. I wish my evo was white..

 

Who did your intake headlight??? got any close up pix of that??

 

No close up pictures unfortunatly. IS Motor Racing made it up for me. The light thats in there at the moment, is only the prototype (V1), Im swapping it out for a v2 headlight intake soon!

 

there is no front chop on this car?

 

^ +1

What chop?

 

Ordered myself a carbon voltex GT type 5 wing.. Just gotta hide it from the missus for now.. Haha! Getting married this year, so buying more car stuff won't exactly go over too well.. Going to take some more photos of it today.. See if I can post them up tonight..

 

Hey guys!! Did another photoshoot on the 09JAN11... Pictures are on the first post~!

ENJOY!

 

UPDATE!

Hey all. Well, on Australia day (26/1), had a shocker.. Something let go in the cooling system somewhere.. :-/

Im really gutted. Have been working so hard over the last 12 to 18 months to just get it right, and tough for track, but I think im starting to loose faith in it.

After going to a Sydney meet, I looked at all the hot cars, and I think I would really like to tame the evo up a little so I can attend more of these meets without as much fear. It was a fantastic meet that REALLY reminded me of the old days.. Had alot of fun.. And I wouldnt care about loosing 10kw here or there for a car I can enjoy more, because at the moment, Im really not enjoying it at all. In fact, it makes me want to sell it! :-(

Too many dramas with such a high strung car.. If I can be around the 300kW region, I'd be happy as!

So, here is what I plan to do over the next 12-18 months, slowly..
-Quieten down the exhaust (prolly go a custom 3" exhaust with twin resonators + oval rear box)
-Get some different rims for better stance (18*9.5 +22 Gram lights 57D in fluro yello anyone??)
-Hancook R-S3 in 265/35/18
-Remove or Relocate front tow hook
-Voltex GT Type 5 Wing (Already ordered)
-Evo 9 Front & Rear Bars
-Carbon side steps + rear skirts, APR Carbon canards, APR carbon front splitter, carbon vortex generator.. Maybe a VA-Style rear splitter?

Thats all I can think of now. But If I can get back to the orginal goals of the car, I'd be super happy. Something I can enjoy more with minimal trouble from the 5-0..

So thats where Im headed.

I just want it nice for the street now. The car is simply too hardcore as it is now.. Its too far away from what I orginally built the car for.. I wanted a tough street car, and I got too far away from that.. Time to get back to basics and enjoy just cruising..

 

Well, Looks like I lifted the head, so all the external stuff is going to have to wait..
Im tossing up what to do as it will be an expensive fix..
-Tomei L19 Head Studs
-Tomei 1.5mm Head Gasket
-Omni 4BAR MAP sensor in intake manifold
-Tomei Solid Lifters (maybe)
-Custom Turbo (maybe)

See what happens, need to sit and talk to my mechanic in detail about it. Damn it! Im getting married this year in september.. and this is a big blow. :-/

 

lookin good

 

The nose chop comment had me confused as well

Wish we could trade places Mate=) I love the idea of living & driving an EVO Down Under.

Question. Is driving a "Left" hand driver in Australia as cool as driving a "Right" hand driver in the States?

Peace

 

Haha. Nah.. Right hand FTW! Pure JDM goodness right there!

Definatly not.. Everyone kind of looks a you werid (especially in a LHD Evo) and askes whats the point? Evos were built in Japan!
