Neal,

You are the man! Thanks for the info. Dropping 3lbs per tire is just like putting on the MR wheels! Great performance and light weight, looks like the PS2 is hard to beat.

You get your 47 TV screens, I'll completely gut my car and throw a roll cage in and we'll see what happens. Deal?

Yeah that includes the install, the turbo, dyno, tuning, front bumper (to make room for the intercooler) and a Greddy bumper sticker. Most people are getting around 425-450 rwh with the kit.

My G. Eibach springs/sways, Injen Intake, Crawford Plenum

Does that not include the FMIC and piping? and I bet you could save at LEAST a couple grand if you told them to leave out the Greddy bumper sticker.

Thats a VERY nice lookin G.

Ha Ha, not really. This one is mine though...

Yeah, not sure if you want to launch the EVO like that lol. Looks good man! Glad to see someone else is getting snow. I drove my G last year in the winter, but decided to garage it and pimp a beater this winter. Depressing going from my G to a 215K mile 92 Accord EX hahahah. Gives me something to look forward to in the spring I guess

I wish I had a beater to drive around every once in a while. My car's only 7 months old and shes got 14.5K miles on her. Good times. A BUNCH of those came from the trip to Arkansas (the snow pics). My first car had over 250,000 miles, no heater, no a/c, no stereo, bad broken into once when I put a stereo in, then stolen and stripped once when I put another one in (all over the span of six years). Yeah, I had that beater for six years. I think I deserve an Evo.

Just out of curiousity - You work at tirerack and don't have some slick aftermarket rims. No discounts for the employees?

btw - the car looks awesome though - Some bronze or gunmetal 18/19inch TE 37s
and it would look

better grip on heavier tires will overperform poor grip on lighter tires

Ya know, its a combo of things really. I'm not a real gold/black combo guy so that's out. I get a LOT of compliments on the stock wheels already, specifically the finish. Mainly I want a wheel that has a large lip cause the car looks awesome with a rear lip. Unfortunately we just don't offer a whole lot in that style for the Brembo cars. I will find out today what wheels and styles were are brining onboard this year, so there might be a wheel in the future I prefer. Otherwise I might purchase the Volk SF Winnings. Just real picky about the wheels I buy.

Wheels are the window to car cars soul. Some cars need a new set of curtains, some don't. Think my car is right on the edge heeh

What about the Sport Contact 2s? Same weight? Less? More?
