[mike55112]

Picked up my 3rd evo last month. It's a 2005 WW MR, I picked it up from my buddy paul (kurdy). The car has 169k and makes right around 400awhp at RS Motors.

Heres a quick run down on the mods
GSC1 cams
Map Beehive springs
Map SST turbo (Old fp green)
Map custom intercooler
Map custom 3inch exhaust(best sounding exhaust I've ever heard)
FIC1050cc injectors
Walbro 255 fuel pump
ACT 6 puck
Fidanza flywheel
Injen IC piping/intake
Perrin air filter
Turbo smart bov( Ithink)
AEM analog boost gauge
AEM analog Wideband
Evo IX tail lights
JDM HID headlights
Hawk HP pads
VIS Carbon fiber trunk
Work springs
I think thats it but I'm probably forgetting some stuff

Heres the car when I first picked it up



Here is a quick pic of the car tonight with the carbon trunk I picked up.



My plans over the winter are to enjoy the hell out of it and probably gather some parts for spring time

-5spd trans swap
-turbo swap of some type
-Oil pressure gauge
And probably alot more if I continue to work a bunch of OT

[mike55112]

Did a couple things over the weekend, relocated my radio to the lower spot and ordered a gruppe s bezel. For the time being I have my gauges in a homemade gauge holder kinda like the gruppe s one. I also picked up a new sony head unit with amber back lighting to better match my gauge lighting
Here are some current pictures of the car after work today

Car looks very nice, dare i say a bit racecar-ish with the new CF lid.

Clean car for the mileage. This is by chance Chris Careys old evo is it?

Yes it is

[mike55112]

Little update,
Bought the Gruppe S gauge pod and relocated the radio to the lower din. I just recieved the Gruppe S today and did the gauge relocate over the weekend with a homemade bezel I had from years ago for the time being

Here's the Gruppe S after I swapped the clips and hvac decals over

I will get around to installing it tomorrow after work, I will be ordering my 3rd gauge sometime soon, I'm going with an AEM analog oil pressure
Here is where the gauges were, I hated not being able to see the knock CEL

I just bought it from him. Wanna buy it? I got it for sale!

[mike55112]

Little update,My rear diff seals were leaking so I figured since I needed them replaced I should have ron do the rear diff mod. The end result was awesome, I took the car out in a nice dry open lot and I have to say this thing is awesome now. I also picked up goodharts rear diff cover with sight glass.
Here are a couple pictures I took

Glad to hear you got it fixed up and better than stock.

I think i saw thing then a 1 week or two ago on highway 61 and beam. I was trying to catch it but i was in a slow ass lexus lol.

[mike55112]

Nothing new with the car except getting incredibly shitty gas mileage, 12.7mpg last fill up and I drive mostly highway to work everyday. I'm gonna go back to 92 octane. I'm starting to really not enjoy driving this car, the car runs great and has more than enough power as is. I just don't see me wanting to spend the money on the 5spd swap to enjoy it on the track this summer.

[turbotalon1g]

Sounds like time to sell it.

I couldn't imagine getting that shit MPGs in anything, even full size pickups get better than that.

[93gtpeater]

I thought you would of sold this by now. But looks like it will be for sale soon.
