Mudflaps... Rally armor flaps run 100. Locally if you want to make your own i would suggest GE Polymer Shapes. Its on valley view. I think at the corner of Post... They usually have the material. You can probably buy a 4'x4' sheet of that stuff for about 25-35 bucks. Let me know if you want to fab some up and i will give you a pattern.... I have rather large flaps on my car, but mounting will be the same. I live in the OC now but will be in town on Tuesday and Wednesday next week.

not sure if it creeps, but if you were running 22 on the stock 8 bov... you might have had to crank up the booost controller to compensate for the amt that it was leaking. The HKS may be more true than the stock 8 bov.

Did you mean turn the boost controler down?

Anywho, hes right...the HKS one is prob not leaking as much as the stock Evo 8 BOV would.

Anyone have some extra rims laying around? Dont really care what they are, I just need them to fit the evo and be CHEAP hehe. Stock 8 or 9 rims would be good. I need them to put snow tires on teehee.

I have 17x9.5 nt03m's that dont have tires on them, but those are my backup if I cant find anything cheap. You really dont want to go wide on snow tires you end up just floating from what I hear. Think the smallest I can go on those would be a 255, might be able to stretch a 245 on those.

If anyone has some old beat up rims let me know I may be interested
