Moscow EVO IX Build Thread

Hi there.
Bought this Apex Silver Evo IX in Jan-11 as a weekend car. Decided to make something i never did before. I had 2 scoobies before: 2003 black WRX GDB, sold in 2005, 2005 white USDM (2.5L) STI GDB. Nothing special, both were almost stock with minor mods. STI was also sold in 2007 when i moved to Moscow, thought i wont need such car here.
This Evo was 17.5K miles when i bought it, car produced in 2006.

Specs:
— Apex Silver
— Blitz Nur Spec R catback, ?welded? with some HKS in the middle
— Injectors RC
— Air Intake
— Coated Compomotive 18x8.0 ET35
— Ohlins Coilovers

Project just started, so i will tell u briefly where we are standing:

31.01.2011
First visit to the service, making pics, checking the car, considering plans:
