Fame's O4 Evo Rs 2.0LR build thread

04 rs with 12,874 original miles bought it from my cousin on 10/17/2011. she's was living the bum life the entire time just sitting in his garage. until i talked him into it selling to me. it was all stock besides the full turbo back exhaust, ebay fmic kit. That day came and now shes been living the best life possible... i'll let the pictures do the justice.




First day When she came to me.






first bath from me But still wasnt good enough


i sent her right off to a full paid vocation

she was bit tired... started getting a massage alot sooner then i thought.







I'll update as i go.. but its where she started

Updated may 15


yes, its getting paint matched


done, she was waiting to be picked up.


first night out


took her out with the homies beast. notice the red sparco


first bath also.


made her stand out little bit more then usual


Paul, Thanks for the pic!


always was a fan of bbs wheels. so i had to get me a set.


at this point, alot was done bbs wheels, hood pins, red sparcos, 4 point harnesses, paint matched harness bar, amber side markers, tein springs for a perfect angle drop, buschur race fmic,uicp,tial bov etc....


so at this point.. i had issues with DMV towards the paperwork but luckily everything checked out.. plus a little surprise


after getting that license plate... i knew it was going to be trouble. so, i needed something to back that plate up on special occasions (50 Gallon tank+reader gauge) since theres no e85 stations in town nears one is about 40-50 miles.

I'll save the good stuff for another day. until then enjoy!!

Lol she's been fully built at 13,500k. Haven't really had the chance to start a build thread ever since until now... I paid about $10K plus traded 03 rsx type s, new paint, motor, all Jdm out etc.

Thanks, it's been built ever since 2011. Let's just say she's exactly where I wanted her to be .

Thanks man, plan was when I got her just do bolt ons. But everyone knows how that always ends up. I wanted something that could play with 1000cc's on the weekends. She hasn't disappointed me yet! I'll update the pics. when I get a chance this week.
