First new guy in 30 days!
Hello, my name is Bill, I am from Farmingtion and I am in the Marines. I am stationed in North Carolina. It looks like its been a while since there have been any new members, but I am really happy that I found a forum that has guys from MN. I currently own a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR w/ SSS Package. It has 18x10.5" Work CR-Ultimate wheels, D2 Racing Coilovers, CPE Gauge pod, AEM Oil, Boost, and AFR Digital gauges, Turbo XS Test Pipe, HKS Hi-Power Catback Exhaust, Kenwood Double Din head unit and a MTX Amplifier installed. I have GReddy Down Pipe, Electronic Boost Controller, , AGP piping, Tial qr bov, and 3-port boost solenoid and a SSP Under-Tray Panel waiting to be installed. I am working on picking out brakes and rotors, and tires. Leaning towards the stoptech, and not sure at all on the tires. I am very new to this kind of car, so bear with me and my questions. Looking forward to the challenges, late nights, and the fun times! I also own a 64' Chevelle, and a 05' Silverado. Think that about covers it!

Re: First new guy in 30 days!
Looks like a really nice car. Do you race it much (reason I ask is because of coilover and brake upgrades)? Can you see very well with that gauge pod?
Welcome to the site! When do you come home from NC?

It's in Wyoming. I don't have room for it at my house so my buddy is letting me keep it at his place and work on it there |

Re: First new guy in 30 days!
I have never raced before, but yes it does have that stance, I like the look of it mostly. My car has actually never made it to Minnesota, hasnt even seen snow yet! It probably wont till I am out of the Marines. At the moment I am deployed so wont be doing any driving at all  I hate the gauges and would not recommend them. Live and learn I guess. But I am planning on getting a new one when I get back, and it will be custom and pics will be posted!!

Re: First new guy in 30 days!
Welcome aboard.
I love the Evo. The color with the combination of the wheels and height; perfect.
