From RR IX GSR to a WW IX MR
 

What up everyone! Figured i'd post pics of my new to me WW IX MR I just picked up last month. Long story short, I had a RR IX GSR from 07 until now, crashed it in 2013, tried reviving it for the last couple of years, only to find out the body shop who did the work screwed me and didn't fix the frame properly. So my choices were to keep dumping money into it, hoping to get it right, or just buy a whole new car and swap the parts over, which is what I ended up doing.

Mod list:
-2.0LR
-Carrillo Pro H 156mm rods w/ 3/8 Carr bolts
-Traum 10.5/1 pistons
-Arlington Machine cylinder head
-GSC S2's with GSC valvetrain
-Mil.Spec ported IX turbo (swapping to a HTA Green in a few weeks)
-Mil.Spec ported 65mm TB
-Mil.Spec ported invidia o2 housing
-Curt Brown Extreme ported intake manifold
-Curt Brown ported FP race exhaust manifold
-RC1200cc injectors
-whinebro 255lph fuel pump
-Nisei competition intercooler
-ETS short route intercooler piping kit
-ETS mini battery w/ odyssey PC680
-Trust Ti exhaust
-Sheptrans ultimate ratio 5 speed transmission
-Sheptrans stage 2 transfer case w/ Wavetrac LSD
-Robispec modified rear differential
-Alcon Mono6 front big brake kit 355X32
-JIC coilovers (switching to JRZ RS Pro's soon)
-progress 25mm sway bar
-18X9.5 +22 Volk TE37's
-JDM 8 MR HID headlights w/ TSX retrofit
-JDM 8 MR taillights
-JDM rear bumper

Nice! Welcome back to a running Evo :D

Yes, great news there Ben. You are a true CT9A enthusiast hanging in there like you have

Super stoked for ya:eek:

Joe :beer:

ahh, i bit my tongue when i saw the ix gsr crashed picture, it was a beautiful car...glad you're back with a new evo tho you seem like a real enthusiast, it certainly does the one you crashed some justice!

Thank you sir, I hope to run into you at the track one of these days!

Part of me wishes I would of bought a C6 Z06 or F80 M3 with how much I've spent between trying to fix my red IX and my new IX :lol::crap:

I'll never forget that day, I was on my way back home from buying some brake fluid to do a flush on a friends evo x before heading to the track the next day. I hope I can get the white IX up to par with my red IX someday soon {thumbup}

i like it. you know what you should do? get black side view mirrors to match the wing and sell me your white ones. lmao

Probably gonna get rid of the black wing lol I need to find a WW 8 wing for it :D

boooo. careful, it will be tough to find. only wicked white 8 wings came from 05's, the rest are weightless white unless u get an actual 9 wing, which u dont want

Worse case scenario I'll paint the RR 8 wing I had on my old evo.

I have a brand new WW Evo 8 NOS wing I'd consider selling. Never installed. Make an offer!

wondering what front lip is on the red evo with the lip/splitter combo in the second last picture? anyone know?

Carbon SE lip

Nice! Those brakes.... drool worthy!

What are your plans with the old chassis?

Haven't decided yet

Can't wait to test them on track with some race pads!

love the white!

curious - how did you find out the shop didn't align the frame right?

The motor didn’t wanna go into the motor mount slots without some effort

sounds like a lawsuit material right there waiting to happen. Either they didn't know what they were doing, or they did and just didn't want to do it. Shady shops these days (sigh).

Honestly I would, but I work out of state and the time i'm back in town is very limited, so time is always against me.

WW is my favorite color on Evos. What size tire are you running? Any fender work for those spec TE37's

2006 ww evo ix rs
 

Glad you got another one! Looks amazing. I just completed another round of upgrades on my WW IX RS. I haven't posted in awhile and saw your thread. Less than 3k miles on any of the upgrades. Brakes were added just a couple months ago.
