Buy an OEM Mitsu TOB to go along with that ACT clutch.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

I was wondering about that. That's one of those things that you get varying opinions on.

Ronnie, just curious here, but why is it that about one out of every three or four posts here, you are defending you or your shop in some way? just curious....

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

I'm always on here reading.

Holy parts bin mlomker

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Just curious why your bein a dick and have to ask such a stupid question? Anyone that has a shop is going to defend it! You would to and youd defend yourself if people talk shit!

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Draaaamaaa wtf

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

That makes sense. The ACT kits for the Evo 8/9 came with an OEM Mitsu TOB at first too; seems like it takes a few years for the Chinese factories to catch up.

This is the RE30 in himetal bronze, a special order color. I'm going to get a price quote.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Wow! I love that color!

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Do it! Love those wheels on the X

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

I think those would look good too!

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

They were $3100 last time I checked. I found them as low as $2800. Depends on size too. I was checking out 18". What size are you planning to get?

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

I doubt I'll get that good of a price unless I get lucky and find some in stock somewhere.

I've read that an 18x9.5, 28 offset will fit 275/35's. I had previous thought that 22 offset and 265's was as far as you could go without rolling fenders...so I was surprised to hear otherwise.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Gotta be honest, not a fan of the bronze. Nice rims though! 275 is nice :D

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

I bet online somewhere you could probably get them for a deal off some forum special of a vendor. I've found that's the best way to new-wheel shop. Of course they'll all say "PM for pricing". I bet someone like MVP Motorsports could cut you a good deal.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

I ordered the Volks today. Vivid Racing actually had a set on order and I should have them inside a month--of course I don't need them until late March or even April.

The Full-Race manifold came today. The welds are very nice. Think I should wrap them or have them hi-temp coated? I'm not sure how to go with that.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Thats a good looking piece, it would almost be a shame to wrap it.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Wow, that is a beautiful manifold.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

I would say don't wrap it, but do get it ceramic coated inside and out. It'll help keep underhood temps down.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Nice. I say do a clear ceramic coating so you can show it off!
