So I sold this:



About 3 months ago and picked up an EVO........I thought I would leave it stock for awhile. That didn't last very long. The car is heading to the SEMA IAS show this weekend in Atlantic City, the EXPO and then to HIN in Chicago.

By the time you guys see it at the EXPO it will have some Graphics on it (no the graphics won't stay more than 3 weeks...)

Here are some pictures of my car that I will be instructing in at the EXPO:







My Favorite picture:



I tried to focus on the brakes first, slight handling mods (will be ordering coilovers soon) and the engine cooling (radiator/intercooler) for HPDE. Next power mod will be an AEM EMS

Mods include:

Hawk Pads (blues for the track)
Powerslot rotors
Russell stainless brake lines
ATE superblue fluid
5Zigen FN01RC 17x9
Eibach springs
Progress rear swaybar
Energy Suspension Total Kit
DC Ti strut tower bars
AMS Intercooler
Koyo Radiator
All SAMCO SPORT hoses
Apexi Power Intake
Thermal Exhaust
Autometer Gauges
Sparco EVO L seats

See you at the EXPO.................If you go to IAS stop by booth 2133 and say hello.

have you track tested your evo yet? i would hate to see what i did last yr

 

looks nice btw im just wondering if u ever considered getting the 5Zigen FN01R instead of FN01RC? now dont get me wrong im not saying ur choice was bad or anything just wondering...since lots of times i see ppl choose to have the FN01RC rims..i just think y not go for the FN01R instead?

Yes, Ran Gingerman bone stock with just the rear bar on it......................that is why I went for the brake mods first. The stock Brembos/pads leave something to be desired.

What happened last year, fuel pump?

and FNO1rc I purchased because they where cheap and I needed wheels quickly, I will end up using them as track wheels. They are 1 inch wider than stock and 1 pound lighter per wheel (stock 17x8 20.5lb 5Zigen 17x9 19.5lbs)

Looking foward to getting rolled by you

Your going to be in NJ, this weekend... Dammit I'll miss you by hours. I'm heading south Fri night. Oh well.

 

Beautiful Great upgrade from the R.


Being Canadian, EVO's are a treat to see. Yours looks amazing.

&lt;----who will buy an EVO when they become available north of the border

 

nice, the more I drive my gf's MR the more I love it.

If I make it down to AC Ill stop by and say whats up

You can fit a couple long blocks in an M3, can't you?

har.

upgrading the front pads would have been a little bit cheaper than a new front brake system.

I know your mod list says Apexi Power Intake, but that looks like an ARC induction box?

Dude, that's Matt's business.

He's so proud of the fact that it's been family owned and operated for "veinte" years, and you just come along and bash it.

 

I think it's just a heatshield on the intake. Car looks mean.

Ah yes, I see the red Apexi filter poking out underneath.

Your girlfriend has an MR?!! Does she have any friends with EVO's j/k

 

We (Victor: 97 Type-R 312, Brian Sti, and I) may see you at SEMA IAS in AC this weekend.

Enjoy your EVO... though the R is a #'d limited edition collectors item.

There's not enough hate in this thread yet.

Ricer. ITR&gt;Evo.
