The car has AMS SRI, UI, FMI, and LI. Ported stock TB, IM, and EM (ceramic coated). MAP DP (ceramic coated), T1R resonated TP, Specialty-X CB.


It also has a GrimmSpeed 3-port EBC and Pro tuned by Cobb Plano with Cobb APv2.


So its bought not built haha. I had a 1999 Camry v6 5-speed that I supercharged and ran e85 with all polyurethane bushings and clutch type LSD. I figured I'll be lazy this time around and just buy a modded EVO X since I just happened to come across an EVO X in the colour I want and modded pretty much the way I would mod it.


My plans for it are swap all bushings (that have not already been swapped) to solid/polyurethane. Height/Spring Preload adjustable coil over kit with Koni 8610 dampers and Swift linear springs. Enkei RPF1.
