Evolution Transformation
Hi guys! My name is Ashton and i'm from Singapore! I got my Evolution 9 on Feb 2012 and as of that time, the Evolution has only 4 years of lifespan left.
Singapore has a pretty ridickulous law for every car owners. Every car that's bought brand new has only a 10 year lifespan and it's called the COE. And basically COE costs about SGD$80000 for 10 years and that's excluding the price of the car!
The first 2 pictures shows how did the car looked like when I first got it.
The next 3 is where i started transforming the ride.. due to some major pain in the *** regulations in my small little 'fine' country.
I got rid of the carbon bonnet and boot and went for the stock ones to reduce the attention from the Enforcers!
Swapped the Advan RS for Rotas :/
The last stretch of photos here shows the current state of my Evolution!
Sprayed an outer coat of Grigio Telesto but I actually mixed it a lil darker.
Tidied up my dirty engine bay a little for the most recent Tokyo Auto Salon Singapore.
There are still alot of things I've planned for my little love.

To the Government, COE is to sort of control the amount of Vehicles on the road.. but for us.. It's for them to suck more money from us. HAHAHA.
I don't think i'll be scrapping the car.. Don't think so but there are still chances of me scrapping it. Actually planning a build by the end of this year if I change my job.
Thinking about a 2.2stroker with BC 288 cams + meth injection.. Still thinking. Hahaha.

CaliCruiser559 , there are still a handful of them lying around. Cars that are considered old and seen mostly are the Civics EG/EK. Only have 1 Authentic EF9 in Singapore.
Cars that are authentic and rare to see in Singapore are those along the lines of NSX,R34,RX7,GC8,DC2. I'm more towards to JDM side so those beemer and merc I got no idea.
Evo 5 and 6 can be spotted during most of our meetups.
