Added a white Ralliart shift knob and some Ralliart floor mats to the car.
Just like the Evo mats but with red stitching and that excellent Ralliart logo.
Also got a couple shots of the car on the dyno at RRE with the Tomei exhaust.
With the silencer in. I painted it black, it comes looking silver, not my taste.
Titanium bling

Another update.
Last thursday I attended the Speed Ventures track day at buttonwillow and had a pretty good time driving the car. It was the first time I had the EVO X on the track and it was impressive to say the least. Being on stock rubber was very limiting but I still managed to squeeze a 2:07.4 out of the car on configuration 13 CW.
halfway through the day I swapped over to Project Mu's new club racer track pads and holy hell could you notice the difference. The stopping power increased exponentially.
Here are some photos from the day:
I loath getting up early in the morning to drive to buttonwillow. It is probably one of the most boring drives I have ever done and will continue to do so.
I hate being the guy that tapes his car up but Im trying to preserve it's 'new-ness' as long as I can.
Out on the track, getting used to the AWD.
Then it was time to change the pads.
Project Mu Club Racer fronts and 999 rears plus some G-four 335 fluid.
It looks like the car is hoovering in this photo.
I have to thank the Evasive guys for lending me their wrenches and helping during the day. Mike and the crew are all awesome. I recommend them for any work on your EVO.
Some more track shots.
One final rear shot before I packed up and headed home.
Finally, here is a video of the day at the track.

The specs on the VOLK CE28N's are 19x10.5 +12 on Nitto NT05 275/30R19 rubber. I was a bit hesitant to get them since these really are massive but I figured why not, someone's gotta try it!
Before I go any further about fitting wheels on your EVO X of this size, you must realize that there is no chance a +12 offset will clear without and fender work in the rear. Just in the rear though. Nothing has been touched up front. With -3.5 degrees camber the front wheels clear quite well. I still have to do some trimming of the plastic since it rubs on big bumps but as far as fenders are concerned no modifications are required. I am riding on Toda Fightex coilovers and Whiteline anti bumpsteer kit which should be used when lowering you car.
The rear's needed a pull and roll which Evasive took care of. Honestly, if you want to fit nice aggressive wheels on your car then talk to them because I was skeptical but Mike worked his magic over there to pull the rears and make them fit. The rear camber is at -2.5 degrees.
Here is what the fender gaps look like. Just a tiny bit of poke in the rear.
With 3 people in the car the rears do rub a bit over big bumps but again that's to be expected when you are this low. I cant see any grooves in my tires so the rubbing is minimal and its not on the fender arches but where the rear bumper meets the metal. I drive alone most of the time but it's something to consider if you have a family or friends to haul around constantly.
I didnt have a good chance to actually go get some good photos with natural light since work has been so busy so these will have to do for the time being. Once I have some more time Ill get some better photos but for now these will have to do.
Now it's time to get some track wheels because there's no chance in hell Ill be trying to track this car with these wheels!
