hey man you need to e-mail me a few pic's for a desktop.

 

PM me your email addy I'll shoot some over

 

What a beautiful car.

 

Subscribed! Hi Kins! Yes, you have one beautiful V! Great job! It looks like you pamper her too! Best of luck with her! How many miles/kilometers has she gone? Any future plans, or mods? By the looks of her, I'd guess that it is garaged kept? Is this an original JDM car, or was it brought over via RALLIART when new?

Sorry for ALL these questions, I'm (and sure MANY!) just in awe! Cheers! -Howard

 

Hi Howard,

No worries, I enjoy answering questions about my car. Thanks for the compliments

I've had her since Dec 08 (when I moved back over here from Chicago).
I do pamper her as she's my pride and joy... (like most Evo owners)
She has been converted to MPH when she was imported here in 2007. When I got her she had 31,500 miles on her now she's coming up to 38,000 miles.

Yes of course there are mod plans! I've just fitted BC RM inverted coilovers and the next step is to bring her up to full stage one mods (for the time being). I have a full Kakimoto TBE, next on the shopping list is, hard wired -uprated fuel pump (bosch 044 or walbro 255lph), AEM Tru-boost and Uego gauges in cluster surround pod. I have a HKS RS induction pipe and Blitz SUS filter ready to go on as well as a few bits of bling like ARC heatshield, silicon hoses etc...
I plan on self tuning my car using ECUflash with help from members off www.geekmapped.com


After stage 1 mods I plan to upgrade the brakes to AP 6 pots on the front and 4 pots on the rear.

After that it's big money time. I'd love to forge the engine and go for a 2.3 stroker kit and new turbo kit. I'd love an AMS GT35r kit but it's perhaps a little overkill and laggy for my RS so maybe the a gt30r. I'm also considering fitting Turnotechnics S205 which is similar to a FP red but I have the support and lead time from a UK company. It will be a while before I'm ready for all this and completion of stage 1 mods is my first goal. On top of this there is the cost of upgrading the clutch to a twin or tripple plate, injectors...blah blah lots of money.

Besides that I just want to drive the car and enjoy her. She's my daily driver and is NOT a garage queen. I'm going to compete in as many track days as I can and aslo plan to run the car in the Mitsubishi Lancer Register Sprint Series. Right now I'm in class one

Mitsi made the car to be driven and that's what I plan to do. She will be well looked after and pampered in the process

Thanks for reading.

Karl

Edit - Howard the car is not garage kept and sits on a drveway every night! haha. All V's are imports (unless you live in japan ). You can get Official Ralliart imported (known as UK cars) on VI's onwards here in the UK.

 

Evo V is by far my favorite. beautiful car man.

 

Thanks man

 

If those rims were white, it would be absolutely perfect. Then again that's my preference only hah.


I'll send you my email, can you send me some desktop images too?

 

I'm actually in the process of importing one of these bad boys...can't wait! best Evo Evar!!!

 

damn man... in my opinion this is where it all began... this was the first evo i was introduced to way back then

 

i am sooooo jealous! damn that looks awsome!

 

I tied to sent an email but I think the file size was too big. I'll try again later.

I was actually thinking about having he wheels refinished by powder coating them gloss black. White wheels are a ***** to clean.

I take it thats an illegal import?

Please share your experience with us

Thank you!!

 

It's not actually illegal to import the car, it's illegal to drive it once its here. There's a whole slew of ways to get around Johnny Law, and everyone has there own story. I'll post up pics upon arrival
