Thanks to everyone for all the congratulations.. I'm really having a great time with the car and have already gone through 2 full tanks in one week just driving around town and putting it into boost a bit more often than I probably should! That's $80 in one week of driving to work and just playing around all weekend long. Time to take it easy for a bit because at this rate, that's $350 a month in gasoline. Of course I did make two trips up to Oklahoma and back again... but hey, I'm having fun!

Very possible. I travel 380 quite regularly. I take it you were not in your Evo or I surely would have seen it.

Yeah, it looks even better in person because it's not "too much". I'm actually kind of surprised.

I think that's the same lip, if not very similar, to the one they put on the FQ400.

I checked your myspace and saw your 11.3 run. Very nice. You launched it hard. I take it that's not a stock clutch..

I am loving it - very much so. It's a blast to drive. Looking forward to a chance to autocross with it.

What is it about these cars that makes you want to start modding them the same week you get them home? I'm already thinking about an O2 housing, downpipe, highflow cat (not going catless) and a tune. Plus I want a gauge pod so I can see what's going on. That should do it for now...

...that is until I decide to upgrade the turbo and exhaust manifold - at which time I'll also upgrade the intercooler and piping, cams, fuel pump, injectors and go to a mini battery kit at that time..

Ahhh.. see what I mean! Stop the madness! I've only owned the car 10 days!

I just found this thread today and realized that March 2012 is the 4 year anniversary of me owning my evo! YAY.

Look at those pictures of way back then.. when the paint still looked new ans shiny.

Oh how far we've come.
