Different path for my Evo

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

After careful consideration I have decided to go a different path with my Evo. As many of you know I have done a great deal of engine mods. I plan on doing 2more things and then I will be done for awhile. I plan on getting my Evo in condition to show it at car shows. I have talked to Dave, some of you may know him from Evo GA///SE with the Apex Silver Evo with blue vinyls. We have talked a good bit about entering our cars into car shows. I will be doing a great deal of stuff to make my car ready to enter it. This means alot of dress up parts, carbon fiber, etc. I hope to hit 375 wheels by end of summer but dont know if I will or not. Either way, I will be devoting the majority of my money to show parts. In case some of you are not up to date on Evo dyno numbers, stock evos put down around 240ish give or take, mine is at 341, which rates over 400bhp, so if you have seen the top gear video of the FQ400 vs the Mercialago, I actually have more power then the FQ400 :shock: At the moment that is enough for me. As always, input is always appreciated.

These pictures have different parts, my engine bay will have a few parts from each but will not look identical to these

Congrats on the dyno numbers. Hope everything goes well entering car show business.

Ps. just my .002 i would go with the clear cover on the cam gears. :D

Sorry just a rant.

i plan on keeping he clear ones for now and seeing how they work with the carbon fiber spark plug cover. If they dont look good together I may have to change it. As of now, Im keeping it though. Thanks for the input.

Since you're going for the show stuff, you should definitely look into getting some ARC goodies, IMO.. that is mad tyte JDM yo :lol:

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

lol true, ARC stuff is nice. Im not sure yet though. I plan on going with a few carbon fiber pieces, powder coating the engine cover, blue hoses, and maybe some more polished stuff. Still not set in stone yet.

[em1toevo]

I sure do love some cf under the hood! I personally would love to have the ARC burnt titanium spark plug cover though.

[YSLBTT]

cf looks good. but i think im on the same boat as everyone. clear is so much sexier.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Ya, thats why I have the clear cam gear cover... not that fugly OEM one... oh did I say that outloud? :lol: just kidding yours is cute too Ed.

[alg626]

Just an update, my plans have once again changed as I am always speed hungry. I will no longer be doing the engine dress up, I am focusing on upgrading the turbo and a few more engine upgrades, I am shooting for 375 on Andrews dyno. Hopefully I will be able to get all of this done before the dynoday.
