Re: I evolved....

Here you go guys...a little info on the weight of those HID's at the bottom of the page.

http://www.roadraceengineering.com/e...evoweights.htm

How much do you want to do to the EVO? Is it going to be a drag car? Road Race car? or just a daily driver with some nice power?

Also did you happen to keep any performance parts off the GSX? =)

Dang on the weight, but the stock bulbs are kinda poopy FTL. It's gonna be just a DD with nice power and maybe like 1-2 times per month at the strip. Nothing is gonna be upgraded for a while when I have some payments due hahaha.
No parts left from the gsx, sold it as is with everything in it.

Re: I evolved....

The Evo 9 has the nicest looking front end on any Evo to date. It's done just perfect, IMO.

Totally. The only things I'd add to it is maybe a cf lip and a red mitsu emblem, which will match the red emblem I'll put on the back, and cf uk badge I'll probably replace the chrome one that's on there right now. Then..... some black with a red pinstripe wheels to top it all off, along with a dark window tint.

White/black theme with a hint of red = hotness.

The cf uk badge is the "evolution" badge.

Re: I evolved....

No comparison, sadly lol. Night and day. The only real big difference is ride quality. The ride was so smooth on the dsm, but the evo is much stiffer to begin with, plus there is lowering springs on it.

Re: I evolved....

Sounds like it will be pimpin. If I get one, its going to stay stock. The most I'll do is intake/exhaust, tint, wheels and tires and thats it. I'm tired of shit tearing up and not being reliable so whatever I get next is staying stock.

Re: I evolved....

Dude, a turbo back exhaust, mbc, and a flash gets you into the 300hp range with perfect drivability. Just imagine what stuff an intake, better intercooler pipes and a couple other little things will do

Re: I evolved....

Might as well throw a stock appearing Evo Green on there too, and cams, and run 11s. Tough to stay stock on the EVOs, they mod really well.
