In the future I plan on rebuilding the motor and putting a big turbo on it but thats down the road aways, the port & polish and rebuilding the head took a lot out of the wallet, it needs time to replenish

Love the progress. Looks great. Wheels def changed the entire look of the car. Still missing a lip of any kind (preferably carbon fiber).
What turbo setup is on it right now?
turbo dragon
08-03-2011, 12:00 PM
Thanks, still has a factory IX turbo, and I agree it does need a CF lip, that will come in the near future I hope

Ive been looking at the Rexpeed CF lips, sides, rear, do you think they are a good deal

I haven't tried any of the above: however I've taking noticed that most folks who buy sideskirts and rears and up getting rid of them.
Chad had some nice pieces on VIII
airducts on VIII/ IX are always a WIN in my book

Redridingboost has some CF air ducts for sale I think. That's all I've got .... Can't point you in the direction of any decent priced rexpeed stuff.

I most say, I am very impressed with my Evo and my abilitys to drive it and knowing that I have built it by myself, except for the clutch install and the port & polish work that I had done, I have met all my goals Ive set for myself and the car for this year, I have won a few drag races, auto x's, car shows, and yesterday I ran a 12.7 with a full tank of gas, and today I won this
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t45/turbodragon/2011-11-20_20-08-21_687.jpg
for all that I have put the Evo through this year and it still be running says a lot, I will never get rid of her, but after this weekend Im putting her down for some upgrades and much needed RnR, maybe she will be ready for IS next year lol

heres a few vids of the dec, 18 2011 auto x, one of them the rear started to get away from me and I knew I couldnt get it back on course, and since I had my friends girl friend riding with me I decided to play a little lol. the other I tried to drift the turn and keep going but I was going to hit another cone so I let out of it, trying to practice up so I can give ken block a run for his money lol
