Well guys......Saying Goodbye

To my stock evo IX of 2 years.
KevinD took her virginity and installed all of my go fast mods last weekend.
This is what I look like now at WOT

Thanks Kevin for the great work

The kelfords are killer! I went with Brian Crower springs and retainers.

Sorry I couldn't make it over to Kevins house for the installs, we went out of town to visit the in-laws. I can't imagine what the car feels like now, especially after 2 years of pure stock. Wow, must have been a huge change, hows the butt dyno feel?

I had the pleasure of putting some of the mods on, and I have to say, man was it nice putting brand new parts on! I would say 90% of the time, the parts are used, missing bolts etc... I put his exhaust on, and WOW it was a breeze!! All the bolts and gaskets were there, everything fit like it was meant to fix, and no "BUBBA MODS" or rusted stuff... it was nice!

Congrats on finally joining the dark-side, once you start modding it never stops!

Yeah it is a HUGE difference! Although when I went for a ride in Chad's car mine feels slow again.........
