My 2nd evo project

[mike55112]

Figured I would start my project thread here. Just bought the car last wednesday and already have the mod bug. I'm sure my car will be built alot slower than my last one and I plan to do this one right.


Here is my current mod list.

Blox front motor mount
Evo 9 recirc valve
Generic Downpipe and Cat Delete
GReedy Cat Back Exhaust
Milspec throttle shaft seals
Ported Exhaust Manifold and Ported 10.5 hotside
Ported Megan O2 housing
Walbro 255 Fuel pump
Works no oil Air filter
ACT 6 Puck
PIC Power In Control Coilovers
Short Throw Shift and Brass Bushings
Dunlop Direzza Stars on mr bbs
Rally Armor Mudflaps



here is the worst part of the car. Ricky got hit by a damn mpls taxi. And the ugly evo 8 tails


Im debating on selling the pic coilovers and getting some Bilsteins or just using the stock struts and getting some springs.

My summer plans include
get bumper repainted
get different tail lights
Injectors
fmic
cams
tune

Nice car, you plan sounds perfect!

Nice lookin' Evo Mike. Any possible plans of putting in corn fuel in there? (I know it wasn't in the list) just curious

I think that's what the injectors are for

Looks nice and seems like some pretty solid plans!

Once I got my knock off jdm tails on my car I loved it just that much more. What kind of tails do you plan on getting?

What happened to the dsm? Car looks pretty clean. Just needs some some good e85

I meant to say the injectors are for E85

I will most likely be getting the knock offs as well. Cant justify spending 350+ on tails

It wasnt me, I didnt want to waste a bunch of money on a 1g when I knew that I wanted another evo.

[mike55112]

Probably getting these

And as far as an intercooler goes, I really want a 4inch core but damn I forgot how much they are.haha, my old RNR is up for sale at the moment and I'm thinking about buying that back or I might just get the obx 3.5in with the cast end tanks since it looks pretty solid and since goodhart,howie, and jake all have it. I was thinking why not

If you want to see if you like those tails on the bby you could come by and check them out on my car.

You going to just get that bumper repainted or go with the JDM one?

I really want the jdm rear but I dont know if I want to spend the money on that yet. I would much rather have 400awhp then that. I'm going to the body shop and seeing what it cost to just paint the rear bumper and then I will compare cost.

I think I saw your #2 and a few other evos at khans at 730ish. If so car looks good!

Finally de gheyed my car today. I got a nice package in the mail.
here was the before picture

And here is the after

[GsXtUrBo98]

Looking sexy!

[mike55112]

I got new wheels today. They are 18x9.5 rota dtp's. I think they look perfect on the car, it just needs to be lowered a bit more.

[awd-drifter]

lights and rims look NICE

[mike55112]

Well I got the fmic last week and got to installing it. It was kinda a bitch to get straight and level in the bumper.



Here it is when I first installed it.


So here it is after I made is perfect.


And I took a little bit of a close up of the wheels. Still kinda figuring out if I like them. It needs to be lower for sure.

Wheels look good!
