This is now my second car, I came from a fully built 04 STi with a 35r making around 440 on pump (93oct). That thing had so many problems and gave me so many headaches, I bit the bullet, put it back to stock, sold all the go-fast parts, and bought an Evo. I ended up getting what I wanted out of the car (seeing as how it wasn't in the greatest shape). Here are some cell phone pics the day I got her, paid 26,500 08 GSR with interior sports kit, SSS and wheel locks, bought June 2nd 2008: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...lla09/evo2.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...lla09/evo3.jpg First thing I bought was a set of BC Racing BR series coilovers (money well spent {thumbup}) Got it sittin' right: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0033-1.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0005-4.jpg Yes, the bay is dirty in the pics, dont judge me. At the same time, I went ahead and bought a White Defi BF Series Boost Gauge and the controller, bought an AVIC F90bt, and a JDM double din, as well as the jdm covered cup holder. To add to that, I picked up a T1R suede shift boot and T1R LED dome light, as well as a homelink mirror with a built in compass and auto dimming. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0008-3.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0014-1.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0011-1.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...9/DSC_0045.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0036-1.jpg Wanted something different as far as bulbedge went, so I got some PIAA super yellows and Phillips 6,000k headlight bulbs http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...9/DSC_0084.jpg After that, I finally got sick of the pink tinted tail lights, so I picked up a set of ralliart tail lights http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...9/DSC_0060.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0040-1.jpg Now, I placed an order for my Advan RS 18x10 +25 in Dark Gunmetal, they said 7-9 weeks about 4 weeks ago (waiting impatitently) After that, I picked up a set of Rally Armor UR mudflaps. I put the fronts on, and then never got around to putting the rears on. I still have to do that. Again, dont judge me. I also managed to find someone getting rid of their GG aero kit, so I jumped on that and picket it up. Everything but the front lip. Spats are in the mail. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0012-1.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0011-2.jpg Got bored, so I started to order my stage 2 goodies. Picked up an ATP Downpipe to use with my tial 44mm I had lying around off of my old subaru setup. Thats being sent to JNZ Finishing soon to be powder coated and thermal coated. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...9/DSC_0016.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0015-1.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...9/DSC_0018.jpg Then bought the cat back. This was a difficult choice, I really wanted something that filled up both exhaust outlets on the rear diffuser, but i HATED all of the dual exhausts that were on the market because instead of sounding like an Evo, they sounded like a v8. Not diggin' that. So I was just going to suck it up and go with an Artisan single exit, but after looking at a bunch of pictures of it, I ended up hating it more and more. The sound is pure teets but the angle of the exhaust makes it look like a potato cannon about to blast civilians walking on the sidewalk. So I finally heard a video of the q300 (i had a g200 on my STi and LOVED it) and MAPerformance hooked me up, once again on a great piece. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...9/DSC_0023.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...9/DSC_0028.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...9/DSC_0031.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...9/DSC_0039.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...9/DSC_0035.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...9/DSC_0025.jpg Then I picked up a Bluebatmobile 3rd brake light overlay to blend in with the ralliart tail lights. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0005-5.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0006-4.jpg While back there, I got sick of all the silver badges so I de-badged some of it, I'm going to color match all of the silver to the same color as the advans so it will all blend in. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0004-4.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...DSC_0001-5.jpg |

Looks really good. Do you have an videos the exhaust and how did it fit?
Thanks |
Looks good, i think the RA tailight looks their best on the GG :)

Hey the car looks good with those skirts...Its funny I have the GG w/ BC coils, ATP dowpipe, invidia q300, same defi boost, T1R boot etc..You've got good taste! I was so tempted to pull the trigger on those Advans too, I cant wait to see what the car looks like when you finally get them. Oh btw...I had those Rally Armor flaps on my suby and I scraped on everything...looks like your car is even lower then mine. Are you having that problem too?
|
I don't see any turbo upgrade. Why are you using the tial wastegate?
|
I think I may have seen you around the Tri-county area. Looks nice!
|

Everyone stole what I was going to say!
Love the tails. Great choice for GG. |
Nice color of choice. GG FTW!
As for the Advan setup, can't wait to see it. {thumbup} |
nice GG but wheres the aero kit?
|
The car looks very good.
I'm also from Cincy, if you plan on taking it to the track or just going to watch, hit me up; it is nice to see other Evo owners from the area. |
Looking sick bro. Keep up the good work. Wait till I get my X next year ;-]
