What's going on everyone. Just converted to the Evo and I just got a quick question on a HID conversion. Got the 9 w/o the HIDs so looking to convert them over. Anyone got a name of a good kit to convert them over?

Maybe I'll give him a try. That is when I get the parts I need for my stage 2 which should be amassed by summer.

doug tuned my car recently and it went 11.4@119 with my girl in the car. Alans white car is tuned from doug and goes 11.1@120... I think those two cars show he can get a car to make some good power.

I had a buddy of mine mentioning that a few of the guys with the stock lights converted them over with some ebay kit. Anyone know which one that was? Or if anyone can recommend a good brand for the conversion? thanks

help from our vegas evo community please............

Eladio is about 80% done with putting the car back together after trans / t-case / rear diff / and turbo inspections and overhauls (car on his lift presently)

I never checked the box and had expected a turbo-to-manifold gasket to be included from FP as I thought I had requested..... Does anyone have one available in case the stealership doesn't?

Trying to get the car up and running asap and don't want to tie up eladio's lift any longer than needed.

thanks

-Aaron

Same here he has been tuning/working on my car for the past 3 yrs and he does a good job. also his prices are really cheap . Don't know if it's cuz I been going to him for years or not, but the guy knows what he is doing.

You don't convert them. You just have to order the HID kit off ebay or some places like that and wire it up. Its easy to do. The correct way would get HID projector headlights from a crashed evo and convert that way. The only peroblem is the headlights sell for big money. I've used http://www.vvme.com/ for my other cars that didn't have HID's and they always worked good for me. I'm gald you got rid of that slow STI and upgraded, We just need to get you on E85 and get a good tune on that beast!
