From STOCK to STUD on a broke college student budget (50+pics)
I'll be updating as updates become available. Please excuse some of the pics, taken on my phone, and I'm no photographer 
. Thanks for looking!!! Feel free to leave comments!
The two cars I drove prior to my Evo. The explorer for 1st and then the Marauder for a little.
Loyola University Chicago Track & Field; part of the reason I was able to pick up my car
11/12/08 at the delearship
Bone Stock 2006 Evo IX SSL with about 13000 miles (1 owner, supposedly no winters)
1st wash and shorty antenna
Head unit, the only thing that wasn't stock (don't mind dirty interior
)
My pitbull, Beba
1st performance mod...KN cone filter
Debadged...getting tints done
1st car meet
Paint prep for the interior pieces
"custom" gredy shift knob
Removed the spoiler
Enter Rexpeed CF lip, side spats, and spoiler
No trunk holes
Twins? We both worked at the same bank too (different braches though)
Trying to put my jdm bumper in the car, it somehow fit
before
after (Had the "diffuser" painted flat black)
some performance stuff in my room for the longest time
Exedy twin plate hd...the reason why I didn't buy rims
Halman mbc rx
Magnaflow muffler-tip
Apex Muffler and Repair in Michigan City...place where I got all my performance stuff done. (custom turbo back exhausts done for about 250). Big thanks to them
Clutch install...fun
My cousin trying to get the messed up tob out
My bro helping out with the exhaust...
3 inch custom tbe (no cat)
Lowered on Swift Springs Sport
Left the car for a little to go buy something, and the car getting some love from some girls that had previously seen my tuner (Kunal aka inco9nito99) and I working on the car. Awesome tune, night and day difference. Thanks Kunal!

How do you like the Exedy? Surprised you put it in so soon after getting the car. I'm not a big fan of most silver cars but with the body mods you have done it actually looks really good. Good luck with it the rest of the way, have you gotten a tune yet?

Nice bro! you really took the car to a higher level, little by little. Only thing I would have done is kept the wing but that's personal taste.
I know Kunal, I sold my JDM RS headlights to him great guy!
Congrats on your ride, I have family in michigan BTW

The exedy is great except its loud and annoying. The car had about 20k miles when I put the clutch in. I don't know if it was my fault or the previous owners but o well now. I have a street tune now. To be honest, I'm indifferent to silver, its ok but not my 1st choice, but I couldn't overlook the price (at the time I got it, the price was the same as auction prices) and condition.
