Bought her used and stock in 2006 with 50k miles. Sorry, no pics of her stock.
First thing I did;
-Lowered her on Tein S Techs springs (First thing I do to all my Cars. HaHa)
-Remove rear wing and install Rexpeed Type 1 carbon spoiler
-Rexpeed D-Style front lip
-Red vinyl on taillights
-Wheels are stock Evo 8 Enkeis. 235/45/17 tires (I kinda miss them)
Only pic I have of her with this setup.
Pic of me with other Evo Members. High Quality phone pic power. LOL
-Wheels; stock Evo BBS' were next. 235/45/17 tires
Sorry, no full body shots.
-Wheels; Enkei NT03-M powdered coated gloss black, 18x9.5 with 265/35/18
-Camber -3 front, -2 rear
-JIC Magic Coilovers
-Destroyed the D-Style lip and added Greddy Gracer Urethane Lip
-Took headlights apart, removed the amber lenses and paint semi gloss black
-Perrin intercooler
-Tried to replicate JDM Headlights.
-Sprayed lower corners amber
-made a plastic reflector on top corner
-semi gloss black housing
Fun learning experience
-Rexpeed D-Style lip again
-Real JDM Evo 8 MR Headlights
-Lost interest in my Evo for about 4 years and stored her on the side of the house under a car cover.
-Life happens and I have 2 Sons now.
-No pics of stored Evo or Kids but here's 2 pics of Chaka from 1974 Land of the Lost.
-Wheels; 2006 Evo BBS SE's. They're like the grey one's above but polished.
-Tires; 245/40/17
-Cracked 4th lip; Ebay Du-Luck style urethane lip.
-One of my good friends returns back to California and gets me back into cars. I love my Evo again.
-More Low
-Tires; 225/40/18
-Camber; -3 front, -5 rear (zero toe front/rear)
-Found a British Evo 7/8 rear bumper (Not easy to find a vendor willing to ship to the United States)
-I get a set of 17" BBS RS' and just couldn't make them fit the way I wanted without bagging.
-2.5" lips front, 3.5" lips rear
The Lowrider in me wanted to try spokes... Maybe I will. Maybe I won't. lol.
CURRENTLY, AS OF NOW, AS SHE SITS IN MY GARAGE
Traded the 17" BBS RS for a set of 18x9 BBS Style 5s. I pestered and pestered and pestered Byron to sell/trade me.
Wheels; BBS RC 062; Style 5s; 18x9
-Camber; -3 front, -7 rear; 0 toe (front/rear)
-Rexspeed Evo 8 Carbon Fiber Front Bumper Ducts color matched silver
-Another Ebay urethane front lip
I've gone through alot of suspension parts and spring rates. I still plan to try stiffer spring rates and go more low.
The modding will never end.
