Thanks man. They aren't really stretched that much. The stock GTS wheel is onlt 7 inches wide. The EvoX wheel is 8.5 inches wide and rides a 245/45/18. Ihad to go 235/40/18 in order to get clearance to avoid the rubbing issues other Lancer guys were having on this wheel.

Wasn't trying to go all low rider or super stretch though. Sorry if it looks weird.

Thanks though! Keep the comments coming.

ive been running a B&M short throw. car seems to keep its inertia flowing forward at every shift when racing. looks cool inside too. going to put on the new mini battery on today.

Maybe it's your knob jk The normal evo knobs stick up a extra foot I swear I love the rs knob the shifter throw really isn't too bad, a lot of drag and track evo guys still have stock shifter

Brandon finally flashed the car yesterday on the edm rom, it is working out just great and ecu boost control is awesome Spools better and for example...MBC 28psi falling to 17-18psi at redline and without me changing anything and sacrificing some timing up top just left it and 26psi holding boost like 20psi at 7500rpms feels stronger for sure

More Pics "Industrial'ish"

Someone one another forum said I should take some industrial pics, so here is what I have. Tell me what you guys think, either about the car or my terrible pic taking skills.

First few are kinda normal, but I really like the last few!

Thanks Dez. Anyone else? I am working on the drop. Going to pull the fenders a little and see how that will work on these 8.5s and the drop.

Anyone here can, or know someone who can weld? looking to fill the holes in my trunk, when I take the wing off. I can do all the other body work before paint.

thanks
Scott
