Oh hey fellas, new here, have some pics of my 2013 GSR
Well hello everyone,
Just picked up my evo a couple days ago, and was able to get some okay pics of her today on my lunch break. New to evo's but not new to the game. Had an 04 WRX I modded out pretty well. It's been many years with my Prius, but it was time to hand that vagina on wheels over to the wife, and start having some fun on the road again!
Mods on the evo currently:
Volk Racing TE37 SL 18's
Turbosmart hybrid BOV
AEM Intake
Aero kit
Magnaflow exhaust
I'm not liking the Turbosmart BOV at all. I don't like the "whoosh" it puts out. I think I will opt for the HKS BOV instead. I prefer that signature whistle.
It's also very slammed right now. It looks like I've got stock coilovers, but the previous owner cranked the springs in the front down down pretty hard, and as a result, my front end is around 4 inches off the ground, and I'm bottoming out everywhere. This weekend my friend and I are going to raise it back up by adjusting the coilovers. But any advise from someone here more experienced on this matter, please, chime in with any tips on this.
Anywho, the good stuff:

Thats one clean WW X, very nice. Don't have any tips on the coils as far as adjustment.
I would think they should be straight forward as too raising back up and getting re-
alignment. What type of coils on the car?

Pretty damn clean, I'm impressed. As far as I know the factory coilovers are none height adjustable, so maybe the previous owner swapped out the springs or maybe even cut them. Looking at the pic your BOV is in 50/50 mode. Put the plug in so its fully recirculated that should quiet it down and change the sound a little.

Thanks everyone. I'm loving the car so far. loving the, dare I say, comfort? Haha, seriously, I love the way the Recaro's hug my back and legs, I seriously find this car comfortable to drive. Or maybe that's just because I'm coming from a Prius. That car was not comfy at all.
