haa the spoiler is adjustable for when i finally take it to the track. hence why its on there lol. not a ebay special. Cant lower my car here and i dont like or fall for the lowering game BS talk. i wish people would understand why some of use will never lower our car i for one have to much money invested in my front end to damage it. now coil overs would be good to lower it just for car shows. I have two steering wheels here is the other one NO NOS in the Z striaght turbo power

It's funny you say the because it looks like BR is the only company that makes parts for the Evo that you don't have a part from

lol I know there are plenty of places you don't have parts from I was joking. Its just your sig looks like a grab bag of parts and I find it kinda amusing because were as I have OCD and like all my **** to match your all over the place.

Kinda the polar opposite of my build that's all. And its not that it has to be Buschur built to be fast...but it helps

haaaa you know its all in the tune. i did not want to go with just one company example like ams everything. i did not like there upper ic pipe design i wanted to keep stock battery location stuff like that influence my choice and actually doing research on parts and getting people that have gone that routes opinions. I can tell you horror stories about any company if you really want to. Example folks hate on SBR my experience with them is nothing but positive. besides BR is not advertising the 2.4 at time of selection. ill still get the tranny later

Yeah but its not just about how parts work individually its about how the compliment each other also. And you'd be hard pressed to see how that combination works somewhere else

Saw your car man at the shop looks like its going to be interesting to see when its up and running. I would not have the patients for it just sitting there I would have to drive it and feel the upgrades as they go in one by one. I believe that is how you know what works and doesn't work for you. Because I have got some mods that just don't work and end up taking off and putting OEM back on, its weird. Not that they don't work but just doesn't do anything with setup or something like that you know what I mean.

true that part of building my list is fine it will make plenty of power i have seen enough builds and read enough to know. now there are some parts i could get to better improve for sure like magus intake or o2 dump e85 tune for example but reasons for that i want to keep it all looking stock peaces no after market Ecu and i dont want to added sound and smell of the o2 dump stinks enough with the testpipe lol. NO e85 here i might get the shearers o2 dump pending what my numbers are and ill listen to jorge and jouquins car when im down there again just to hear a dump in person.

lol i did drive it and feel the upgrades but it was time for a built block and the tune was off so since im doing that might as well upgrade more stuff around it. My car was not driven for like 7 months then i drove it for 1 month then took it down there been there since april. dont forget your tune has alot to do with mods. I was tired of playing childrens games so i collect parts for 1 year based off research and calling companies and mikes advice and i dropped it off down there and said put it together. I have a goal number in my head i want on pump long as i hit that goal its the point i can change out parts around it on my own but i dont have the tools or knowledge to pull a longblock hence JMS. No tuning shops either in my area so its was the obvious choice let somebody else do it or risk loosing 17k in parts ill pass on that

Yeah the shearers 02 dump is nice but kinda pricey. I opted to not go for the o2 dump myself for the noise factor. My car should look relatively stock other then I/C piping. Most of the fake *** "street racers" wont be able to tell much. Which is good so I can take their money

And yeah E85 helps with the whole having a testpipe so Im looking forward to that.

i would know your car is not stock for a couple reason

1. e85 smell
2. guages
3. front mount
4. idle sound
5. if i looked at your turbo up close(fp red right)
6. now i would have no ideal how fast of course but those are keys that i know its not normal stock only. so unless my whatever car was over 500 wheel i would not mess with any evo with those signs. lol

Ill give you the Smell but I just have a signle Defi gauge for boost mounted to the steering column that's not to suspect.

It has a front mount stock most people other then other Evo guys probably wont know the stock size so wont be able to tell the difference.

Yeah it will idle a little rough which is a pretty good give away but I hear these stroker motors don't tell the story as loudly as the 2 liters.

Yeah FP Red, yet again since I will have stock intake mani and exhaust mani only an Evo guy would be able to tell the difference I'm willing to bet.

Gotta remember though Rock I live in Manhattan, its right outside of Fort Riley but its home to K State so there are a lot dumb punks that don't know **** about ****.

In the off chance there is a ZR1 around my town it is more likely a Generals or CSM's and is bone stock.
