LOL at the plate. I really like the black wheels and the black wing is a nice touch

Nice pics Dingo!
I have to say the red colour and black rims look stunning together! Really like the rims!
Love the number plate!

Tomei front and dump pipe and then Trust/Greddy the rest of the way.

Me either - but it came on the car and its a damn mission to get it off, the sticky stuff they used is very tough. So until I find the time and patience to sit down and take it all off I'll leave it.

personal taste I suppose, I'm not a huge fan of the noise.

Brake cleaner will eat it off, as will WD40. Though, I'm not sure what either one of them could do to paint.
Wheels look good, but you still need some Ultraleggeras.

Its something that comes on the Japanese models, Evos sold here don't have it.
To be honest I haven't even worked out how to turn it on, so it might go one day too.

Bit of an update....
Swapped wheels with a mate for a week or so (18" Work Emotions - pics below), sticker front number plate rather than that stupid bracket, Tomei front/dump pipe and Trust catback exhaust.
The turbo-back exhaust made a HUGE difference, seriously quick car now - be close to the 400hp mark.
Unfortunately the stock clutch let go yesterday so that will need changing soon - slipping as soon as I hit boost now. Difficult job on the Evo, so I'm looking at $1600 AUD. :roll:
This also means teh ECU tune has to wait, as obviously no point putting it on the dyno with the clutch in such a sad state.
Will update once clutch and tune are done (few weeks to a month I hope), for now no boost and gentle driving.

wow, I like this red/black combination
nice wheels, shame about the stock clutch, but I don't think it would last any longer with this setup anyway

As far as the clutch is concerned, it really is the only weak spot on evos as far as i know. A friend of mine has an evo 8 hitting close to 360 whp and his clutch he's had to replace the clutch 3 times already, and he's working on his 4th. Funny thing is, he doesn't autocross or drive the snot out of it. Everything else though is bulletproof according to him.
