Im also a noob here

Hello all, I'm Jeff from Chicago, Illinois...2 weeks ago I had a car accident which resulted total lost of my car (05' Nissan Sentra Spec V). I recently purchased an 05' Lancer EVO RS (with 11K+ miles only). At this point, Im really really glad I got this car...It was different feeling more adrenaline rush...I never had this so much fun with this car...Anyways, Im really new to the turbo stuff, hopefully I can get a lot of tricks n tips from all of you...here she is:







11,162 miles


In memory of my car R.I.P. 5-21-07 1pm

You'll never regret it. The power potential is such an addiction as well... If I bought an Evo that I didn't know how it was treated, I'd change the transmission and differential fluids and give her an oild change right off the bat.

I think it needs a red lip on the wheels to match your car.. But just my opinion.. Nice

The wheels are made by enkei's but i dont know what model#...well right now, the car came with BOV and CAI...

I'm pretty new to the turbo world..so i started reading and doing little research...for now, maybe you can direct me to the next upgrade, I'm thinking of my exhaust, and downpipe...
