05 Sti to 08 Evo MR - Finally

So I was finally able to save enough cash for an WW Evo MR. Traded my 05 Sti for this baby and it's one of the best things I've ever done. I finally got my hand controls put in today was finally able to drive it home.

Sorry for the crappy picture, it was taken with phone. I should have better ones up shortly. I've already started modding and should have most of them installed by next week.



UPDATED PICS!!!!

19x10 Advan RZ
BC coil overs
UR catback exhaust







I will debadge her soon!!!







I need some center caps =)







STI

For those wondering how I drove the STI. I had a 5Zigen clutch system installed. Basically, there was a button on top of the shift knob. When pressed it disengaged the clutch for me so I could shift. Pressing the brake with the hand controls also disengaged the clutch so I wouldn't stall out in a panic stop. I had the car shipped out to Cobb Tuning in Utah where they volunteered to do all the work for FREE! So, for their hard work and a awesome company!!!
