Red Kryptonite's evolution of his Evolution

whats up EvoM?!
i just wanted to drop by and share my evoX build with everybody.
im gonna keep it short so on with the pics....

picked up a 2008 Mitsu EvoX GSR on nov.30.2010....bone stock!... well, exceprt for the painted stock wheels.
haha i think the original owner really wanted a suby









the the mod bug bit me 2 months after...
- ARC titanium upper and lower intercooler pipes
- ARC induction chamber
- Greddy SE catback exhaust
- HKS ssqv bov
- Tein SSP coilovers



threw everything on and also slapped on some HID and yellow fogs















later i switched all the fluids over to motul
-JVC navi
-HKS oil/rad cap
-HKS recirc kit
-Rays lugnuts (hint hint)
-T1R short antenna
-Compustar alarm with all the bells and whistles... but now i cant use my oem key and have to use a cheapo key



got the alarm and navi installed
and got a T1R shift knob for xmas



after 3 months my wheels finally came!!!
-VOLKS TE37 18 x 9.5 +22... super played out specs but HELLAFLUSH isnt my thing.
-TOYO T1R in 275,35,18... i much rather have beefy tires!



put on the wheels, short antenna.
rewired head/fog lights and disabled DRLs, so now i have full control.





my favorite shot... havent picked up a camera in a long time.



i know what youre thinking...
the GSR spoiler is kinda lame for an evo... but i cant decide what i want...
Seibon SSS or Voltex 1700mm??? why not both!!! haha
Seibon for fall/winter and Voltex for spring/summer...



finally got around to putting on the HKS caps


thats it for now! all comments are welcomed
i'll update again when i get my kit painted and installed... should be soon.

sweet.. the big wing is epic fail. for you low horsepower street driven evo.

You shoudl hid the HID balast better. They stick out like a soar thumb.

I hate ARC and the HKS SSQV's, unless you were going for the flashy look and the loud BOV sound. Other than that, your car looks really nice. I really like the wheel choice. HELLAFLUSH=

Nice build. As for the wing dilema, I would stick to the SSS, the Voltex is overkill for street use, both effectively and esthetically. But if you must go with Voltex, then yes, stick to 1500!

Keep up the good work.
