I have an extra set of DFV's that I'd be willing to let go, which would be your ideal suspension setup for "handling's sake".

I've got brand new Apexi N1's with Swift 8k/10k springs, all brand new energy suspension polyurethane bushings in the entire front and rear. I've got plans for chassis stiffening and sway bars, but later on in the build.

As for EMS over Stock ECU, Where I live we only have 91 pump. I feel that on EvoScan there is only so much you can do. I want to be safe and on EMS I can hot swap tunes on the fly from Race Gas to Pump if I need to. I plan to switch over to SD this winter when I send the trans to shep. My intake/intercooler piping is set up right now for stock Evo IX DV and OEM MAF.
That is one thing that I am really looking forward to.


As for an update on the car, it came with a Carbon Fiber SE Lip as well as the Voltex. I finally had a chance to put it on and see what it looks like.

An illest sticker already tells the world that you definitely will not be tracking the car.

Nice car, btw!

He's from ME too, so the sticker is even cooler. Only us Philly bred folk are allowed to put that sh*t on our cars .

Does the tow hook certify it as a "track" lol. I like the purple on white my track wheels are purple, I couldn't daily on them though. Props for that!

It's a genuine ARC intercooler, I bought it used and it came painted like that.

The purple wheels are most likely going to end up either painted WW or Polished. I've had other things in mind right now rather than painting them.

The tow hook is functional. I'm not sure if you've ever had to tow your car but a tow hook is a lot easier than crawling under and hooking onto your core support and getting cable rash on the bumper/lip.

I think you should compare your intercooler to a real ARC core.
They look nothing alike, ARC intercoolers are coated in a silver heat coating. Yours is polished.

I think someone sold you a fake Indonesian ARC intercooler.

I agree that ARC intercooler looks fake. The lettering is way huge, but maybe someone scrubbed it off and painted it themself?

Should be easy to tell, the real ones have a badge on the top of them.
