I'm young (22) but not a kid, and certaintly not "rich" by any means. Just enjoying being a car enthusiast. I have to say it's hard to stay away from Turbo + AWD. Hence an R34 GTR in the future is definitely likely

Haha I would! If only it didn't have boomerang headlights and taillights!

 

I hear you, Just giving you a hard time. I just remember a thread regarding Evo's (I used to own 1) you said something like "most Evo owners in your area was rich and ricey" and a few months later you sold your Z and got an Evo.

I bought my evo when I turned 28. Evo's are fun to drive and if you know how mod it right...you'll get some respect.

 

word

 

Haha yeah I know and I agree with that statement even til not, just saying it doesn't apply to me And for what it's worth, I think I managed to show one side of the Evo that you might not often see - a touch of class.

Don't get me wrong, it is extremely hard to drive this car around and *not* look like you're going straight for the track with the huge carbon wing sticking out of the back. But when I parked it at a high-end shopping mall, I got plenty of compliments from the girls working at Cole-Haan as well as a Ferrari f430 owner in his 60s, who told me he loves Evos and is looking for an Evo 10 MR to daily drive (he can't drive a manual for personal reasons and the Evo 9 is the last MR to have a 6spd manual).

 

Good stuff. Now go get some Cams boost it at 25-28psi and get a good tune...you can run with stock block Z ST/SC all day no problem

 

I think I can run a Vortech Z with my new tune. I should be roughly at 340awhp and 320 tq. Considering the AWD, 200 lbs lighter, I think it'll be a drivers' ability contest. I am not sure about a ST Z though. But that's ok, my car is mostly weekend/sometimes daily driver. If I ever get another car that's more for luxury then I'll be able to make this into a track beast

 

very nice, i would like a stock/lightly modded evo ix for the times when there are more than one passenger.

 

nice, looking good

 

your current car looks great and your z did too

good job

 

Very nice! Glad you got something you really wanted. Besides the Z, G, and of course the GT-R, I have a world of respect for STi's and EVO's. Japanese cars that are truly of being "worthy" in the tuning scene because they have so much potential.

 

sweet

 

very nice! good job

 

Your evo is the best I've seen. Keep us updated on the car. I'll never get bored looking at your evo.

 

Thanks for the love guys. Switching from a 5AT to a 6 spd manual is incredible...For the first few months there were times when sitting in traffic sucked more than I could handle, but now it comes to me naturally so I love it!

 

Yeh I love the evo, def more than an sti, yours is especially nice!!

 

car looks beautiful man...where did u get the suede fabric?

 

Gorgeous.

 

I would still take a Z, but sweet ride nevertheless.

 

+1 on whoever said you have a special touch for aesthetics.

IMHO when people do a bunch of mods for looks, 95 percent of the time it ends up looking worse than stock. Often times it's too much agressiveness everywhere with the end result looking cartoonish. Sometimes its because people pick parts that don't look good together, destroying the natural lines of the car instead of enhancing them.

But my hat goes off to you sir. Every time i see any pictures of your car (former and present) I'm amazed that at how well they turned out. You have a special talent.

 

very nice work!!!
