Scheides' New Beater

Last saturday I drove possibly the most beat up evo X I've seen to date. I walked away from it disgusted at how someone could be so careless with such a nice car. Then, the more I thought about it, the more I thought about what a great opportunity this thing could be to get an X for cheap and turn it into a mean machine with my own personal touches. Plus, from about 15 feet away, it looks nice and mean, just my style

When I first saw this thing from a distance, it made my heart flutter. Tien coilovers, dark-ass tint, some sort of exhaust...excellent combo! But the damage, OH, the damage...there's scratches on every fender and door, rock chips, dings, gouges, and curbed rims. It's gonna be a project, a long project, but for now I will have to just dub thee: BeaterX!







Looks alright eh? Now look closer:





Tien coilovers, sweet! Driving them through winter w/o washing, bad bad bad!


Has an MBC, and a custom UICP, FMIC, and exhaust made by Excessive Autosport in Sioux Falls.


Rear passenger qpanel:



The thing drives straight, has decent brakes, makes decent power, and all of the SSS package options: fastkey, rockford fosgate stereo w/ sub, HIDs, sat radio, and bigger spoiler (this probably won't stay long! ). If anyone does pro body work and wants to earn some brownie points, LMK!
