Lets be honest here. You bought someones sales pitch. I can provide you with real world Evo drag racing results. As far as I know, No T3 turbo, no matter what turbo configuration you have has gone faster than the single scroll on my car. Once one does, I might be interested.

In other words, what happens on paper and in the real world are two totally different things.

I like how you lightly put people in their place. Sick car btw. Still kinda upset you tore apart the ricer though. That was my favorite evo of all time.

Don't worry about Ricer, It is different and faster every year! This year should be no different!


Thanks!

Brand new OEM bumper:









Got the radio relocation and pocket combo together:










And after seeing the hideous VIII steering wheel in there, I broke into my Evo stash and donated this to the project. Pretty sure I'm not driving an Evo next year anyhow... but, oddly enough, that's not the sound of me complaining

Looking good. I'm interested in that radio pocket din for sure.

Also interested in seeing video of what the throws look like with the TS shifter.

For me its a no brainer. I do not like gauges and cant stand having the radio in my face at night. It was either the pocket or a RS blank panel.

It's actually an OEM pocket for a 2g but fits pretty much everything out there. By far the best fitting one on the market.

We have them on our site here if anyone is interested.

The old bumper has carbon fiber ducts in it. To remove them I would have been left with like 40 holes in it.

Agreed. I look forward to the final results. I'll need to order a set
