Newbe from uk with evo 4

Hi all,

My names Tom. I live in the uk and am a soldier in the British army.

I recently bought a evo 4 after being in the Honda world for many years. During my time owning a Honda I found it very cost effective to buy parts from the states and a friend advised me that this was the best state side evo forum

A quick spec of my car is

1996 evo 4 in black
Toda 2.4
Hks 264 cams with piper 272s waiting to go in
Hks la clutch (needs replacing)
Hks 1000cc injectors
Hks 11mm fuel rail
Hks fcon pro
Hks evc
Hks big intercooler
Gt30 hybrid turbo
Tein flex coilovers with edfc
Dab disks with ferodo pads
Hks boost and oil temp gauges

Think there are a few more other bits but is running at 338/401 atw.

Tom

During the revolutionary war the UK troops were referred to as red coats by the rebellious americans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_coat_(British_army).

Yes we wore red coats for many wars. We now wear green dpm but 2 weeks ago we started to wear a sandy brown uniform much like the us army's. It looks scruffy as hell if you ask me though.

Yeah... it's all utilitarian these days. The days of classy uniforms are past for most armies in the world.
