Zlatan's EVO 8 GSR

[zlatan]

Good Evening Stanceworks

I figured it was time for me to post a thread on my EVO. A little history on my previous projects:

My Z



My MS3



My Audi



Needless to say, I've jumped around from Euro to JDM from RWD to FWD, N/A to Turbocharged. I had always wanted an EVO, the platform was always appealing because it was AWD, turbocharged, and very friendly to modding. So after 5 years, I finally found one that fit my liking

Day 1:
Love at first sight!


The car had a starter set of mods, but needless to say, I needed to make this one my own.

Day 2:

JIC Magic TR-SS installed:


This immediately transformed the car to my liking!

Day 5:

JDM Visors and lip were added for cosmetic purposes.

At this point I have a few touch up mods to buy and some spacers. Let me know your thoughts!

Not bad.

Not sure on your plans for lows and wheels but I'd like to see it a smidge lower on some wider wheels. Not too wide but kinda meatflush since it seems you are keeping this performance based.

400hp on a stock Evo 9 turbo is pretty impressive though, I must say.

[TurboFox]

Don't see many red evo's. I was so happy to see it already had the JDM rear bumper!

[TeckniX]

Good power for amostly stock. I agree with a smudge lower, but it has to be fun to drive around.

I love these cars, probably one of the most fun cars i've driven. nice mods so far

[zlatan]

Thanks for the comments folks. I must agree with the height not being stanceworks worthy. I had the car lower, but it hindered the performance too much. Going 90 in a corner and hearing rubbing is bad news bears. I had committed to buying a set of NT03+M's 18x9.5 +27, but decided the weight was too much compared to my BBS wheels. I think I'm going to buy some 10MM spacers in the front and 5MM rears. Should be nice and flush with -2.5 degrees of camber.

Now the real debate begins on which muffler I need to get to replace the EBay one.

HKS Carbon TI
HKS Ti
Greddy Tic
Agency Power
JIC Magic

The list goes on and on.

P.S I've had this car for a year now and most of the mods on the list were done with my ownership of the car. The only thing it had was a few bolt-ons on a stock map when I got it. A 2003 with 50K miles. Unicorn status.

[zlatan]

Thanks for the love, more to come in the future.

[HooWybrow]

I have such a boner for these cars, can't wait to see what you do with it.

[tstacks]

love it. de-wing it and it'll be perfect. one of the best looking cars ever for right out of the box + lows.

[mortenkdk]

Awesome color of the EVO!!

[e.mury]

Hard to believe this is an 03. Keep it meaty!
