I've thought about doing this--but going with most lips requires buying that stock black piece along the front, which you obviously did.

I'm going to try the APR splitter for now but if it is too annoying (from a service perspective) then I may end up going this way.

Guess what radiator I pulled to replace with CBRD?

I had some less than stellar results at the track so I wanted something that would cool much better and CBRD seemed to be the best on the market.

Here is final engine bay shot after the new rad and Samco hoses. Getting rid of the blue hoses helped so much in terms of aesthetics in the engine bay.

No, the only problem was with the stock mounting bracket for the air box, I had to trim it to make it fit the lower AMS hard pipe otherwise the AEM box fit perfectly.

I finally had a chance to test my new RE30's shod with 275/35R18 Falken RT-615 K's at the track. Great tires by the way! They provide a lot of grip with some very predictable feedback. Unfortunately it got really hot as the day wore on and the tires started going away after 5-6 laps. Can't blame them though, the Evo is such a heavy pig. I'm hoping to get some NT01s and crack the sub 2:00 minute mark at BW.








And just recently I added a Whiteline rear sway bar to the car. I was going to do the front one until I realized it meant dropping the whole subframe! No thanks.









Also swapped my trans fluid with some AMSOIL gear oil hoping that the grinding will lessen. So far its been a little better but not much.
