Newbie from across the pond
Hello fellow Evo enthusiasts, just joined up so thought it would be rude not to introduce myself.
My name is Nick, aged 45 I live in South Wales in the UK, I work for Asda (Walmart) driving HGV trucks.
I am a member of the Mitsubishi Lancer Register (MLR), for 3 years now.
My everyday runabout is my trusty Saab 93 Aero, and my pride and joy is my evo 9.
I stumbled on this forum whilst searching for voltex pics and I have to say some of the pics I've seen on here of members cars are jaw dropping, one day just one day I will have something that will look like so many pristine examples I have seen in the Voltex gallery.
Anyway here's my evo hope you like
And here's a recent one after a 2 day detailing marathon.

Thanks bud it's still work in progress, ain't they always that way
Thanks at the moment engine mods are pretty minimal it's more for show than go lol
Hydra ecu, switchable launch control and anti lag
Apexi avcr
Walbro pump,
Custom 4" intake pipe, K&N filter
CPR titanium exhaust 3",de-cat, 3" modular downpipe
Kelford 268 cams
HKS uprated springs
ARP retainers
AMS inlet
AMS fuel rail
Boomba racing TB
FullRace header ceramic coated
Koyo rad

Can't think of much more apart from dress up parts and suspension and brakes
Having a new 2.2 stroker with a stage 2 head fitted in the next few weeks with AMS gt35 precision turbo so should be fun

Really like that the look, especially the new bonnet.
Thanks for updating the post & checking back in
Definitely want to see after the kit is installed & the wheels
