This is what it looked like shortly after I put my first touches on it, bronze rims peeled off all the stickers.




The rear bumper was damaged by an old lady that backed into it just slightly and popped a chunk off the bumper. I got it all repaired and painted.

Now this is what it looks like with the new +25mm front fenders new paint and new rims.





Haha the ebay tails



engine is all stock like I said I am going to be parting an EVO 6 in the next few weeks I will build that engine and then swap later.



Just for S&G lol

I'll assume thats a RON number so more like 92 PON here?

Better just look through the dyno results forum and see what kind of power curve you want to achieve just look for something running 93 or lower octane and you should figure out when a turbo will spool up on your gas.

Yeah your assumptions are correct it is RON :/ there are a few places that push 110 RON but they are not on this little Island that I am on. Cool thanks for the advice though.

Yeah the S15 is a beast, 2.7L has a 6Spd Holinger Dog box.

I am new to the EVO game, I have a few newb questions, I may not be typing the right word combination into the search box. I was looking at the JMfabrications intake manifold and the exhaust manifold, besides actual fitment into my 5 compared to the 7-9 will the manifolds will bolt right up?

Thanks I will start the build once my spare engine and mission come in. I was thinking of sending it into Shep for the mission build but it is cheaper in shipping from Japan to ship it to PPG. We will see.
