I think I've seen a blue Evo with that color wheels, and for me, the contrast is too high, but you might like it.

But speaking of color, doesn't painting the intercooler take away a little from its cooling efficiency?

And for all the non believers. This car was just pushed hard to the limits this Friday night. Street racing against some locals. 140+ mph. Never second guessed the "dangerous tires" the car handles like it's on rails and also corners AMAZING with no roll. Very happy with the setup.

I'm calling BS. That car will have its *** handed to it in the first corner by a stock Evolution. On rails my ***.


Your post don't say much for you, you sound like a 17 yr old punk. Street racing at 140+ yea that's real cool.

Idiot. Like I said thankfully I live far far away from that death trap

We were cruising around the town and there were some guys in was playing with. Not a 17 year old. Not a punk. It's all good. I'm very satisfied with the car.

Yet you bring yourself closer to the stance scene on the internet, to keep moaning about it. Bit of a dichotomy. Maybe you're bipolar

Though, I may agree and disagree with some parts of what you are saying....


What about this makes it handle bad? The car is so low, the center of gravity is way lower, the chances of flipping it are very slim, the wheels are VERY wide, and I'm sure his coils are very stiff. I would assume the body roll is limited to none.

Either way, I'd be curious to see a stanced car like this paired up with a stock car and see how they compare in handling challenges.

Wish I had the chance to meet some of you boys. Nice set of mountains close to me. Really would test a car

there is a point where the suspension cannot properly react to bumps and hard turns. if your lower control arms are past being parallel, your in trouble. if being slammed to the ground were an advantage, every car on the track would be scraping everywhere it went. its not, lowering your car about an inch to an inch and 1/2 is really as low as anyone should go. your stanced car will not perform on the track any better than a stock evo, but will definitely have a much harder time pitching and rolling properly, with you most likely sliding right off the track on the first real turn at speed
