Default New EG owner!

Hey guys I didnt see a newcommer section, sorry if this post is misplaced.

Anyway I got my first Eg hatchback!

Its red , 5speed, completely stock, evtech (leanburn or whatever)

Only pic I have from when I got it yesterday, Ill have moar pics up this week.

Excited to get to know everything about these cars.

This will be my daily, as I already have a car that I mod excessively (IS300) , and Ive always like how some EG hatches look.

MOAR PICS ON PAGE 2!!!1



Hows she look?!

Thanks guys ! Plans are a nice set of wheels , lowered, lip kit, duckbill hatch spoiler, and some 5% tint.
Will an intake on this car hurt mpg?

great start, and those VXs are hard to come by now a days still with the lean burn motor.

Keep the motor and enjoy the MPGs, you wont get any HP out of it no matter what , so dont try.

suspension,wheels, exterior and bam a fun little commuter.

Yeah, I probably wont try and get any hp out of this car. The IS is for that. The eg is stickly commuter/mpg.

I just love how EG's look all decked out. I want to try and get some different wheels that arent heavy. I know the added rotational mass will affect the overal average but It beats the lawn mower wheels that are on it now. Maybe some rota slips or gt3's in white would be sweet.

Ill search around when I have full access to the site and see what everyone is running as far as suspension goes. Get a lip kit, and a duckbill. That and a sick stereo system for those dreaded days in traffic hahah.

white rims look sick on red. I used to have a red ej2 with white slips. 2
GT3's are too played out imo. Slips are too, but not white.

Here in nor-cal there's nothing but white, black, and polished slips on every 4 lug cars.

IMO you should go with some nice set of White TE37.

Tumbs up for the car and in for the pics of the IS300!

Only decent pics of the IS as of now. The hood is gone , and the whole front half of the car has been repainted. Ricer lip is gone and the bottom grille has stock mesh in it now.







See if I can find updated pics of the engine bay , although its dirty

Will have Moar pics of the eg tomorrow sometime.

Thats the ones I have now. Like I said Ill have more pics of the EG up this week. She needs washed !

The IS will be stored away untill I finish my last year of school. The eg is replacing it as my everyday car as the IS has become a bigger project than my time/money allows for right now.

No numbers on the IS yet. The car had the stock twins on it and made 360whp at 14.7psi on a dyno dynamics.

Its got a pte gt4067r single turbo conversion on it now. Its still being tuned and needs some things buttoned up (intercooler pipes re routed, Ive moved the ecu to under the seat and need to wrap the wires and **** like that)

As far as the lip goes, its garage door liner with double sided 3m tape. Yes ricer as **** for a lex but I neede seomthing to cover the intercooler at the time cause it stuck underneath the bumper, its no recessed into the bumper and it looks completely stock with the mesh and everything.
