Question Only EVO VIII's?

Hello all, one of my first posts here..
I wanted to ask where all the guys with EVO V's and EVO VI's have gone... I mean your EVO VIII's are all very beautiful but its strange how the VI and V generation is forgotten here... I still think that EVO VI was the most beautiful EVO of all times... Am I the only one in these forums who owns EVO VI TME?

Also as a newbie on these forums I want you to show my car.
Here it is - my love , EVO VI TME:








Mods so far:
Buddy Club Racing Spec III exhaust
Apex'i Power Intake
HKS Super Sequential Blow Off Valve
Apex'i AVC Type R
Apex'i El System Meter Series 60mm Mechanical Boost Gauge
Apex'i Super AFCII
Apex'i rev/speed meter
A lot of future plans
Tell me what you think.

Nice Evo VIs!!!

JSpec,

Love the car, but I think you interior set-up can do some "rearranging and redecorating". You gauges and wires are all over the place!!! Other than that, your car is immaculate!!!

Questions

How long have you had it?
Where did you get it?
What kind of hoops did you have to jump through to get it imported, insured, titled, etc...

Thanks!

I have a Std Edition 6.

The differences seem to be:

1) Smaller Intercooler (I'm changing mine anyway)

2) I have a climate control system, not the normal air-con you have

3) The front lip on mine doesn't look quite as aggressive as yours

4) My exhaust curves before it exits, but mine is also right hand drive, so it might have something to do with that.

5) My wheels are silver, but of the same design

6) I don't have the Go Faster Stripes on the side, (and mine is white too)

I think there are some other differences. Not sure if mine is one of the titanium turbos or the standard turbos. May change that soon anyway. We'll see.

Anyway, nice ride My mods so far are:

3" turbo back exhaust
Cold Air intake
Tuned with Perfect Power
Boost increased with PowerDigger Boost Controller

Planned:
New exhaust manifold about to go in once I polish it up
Hybrid Monster Intercooler (800x350)
Tomei 260 x 10.8mm Cams, Cam Gears and Valve springs on order from Japan
Port and polish head while the cams are being fitted
Possibly a new turbo, once a friend finishes designing it.
