Hehe, believe it or not those wheels are on my "list" - I have about 4 or 5 different sets that I'm considering at the moment. I've seen them on a mates Audi S3 and indeed are stunning!

P.S. I'm glad we didn' get the riced out altezza style rear lights like the US version in that pic!

A friend of mine has them on his Evo, the wheels look very good on a white car.

I agree on the tailights, I much prefer the normal ones. The clear tailights were an option, unfortunately, most Evo's I see have them.

Congrats man, it looks great! If you're gonna get an MBC you can disregard this. If you're gonna get it reflashed, you should remove the pill from the vacuum line to the boost solenoid. It makes a huge difference.

That said, you should really get an MBC. With my Dejon MBC, I'm boosting to ~22psi and tapering down to ~21psi. No more boost flux like I had with the stock solenoid. A test pipe is pretty cheap and will give you great gains.

They are 17" Enkeis and lightweight, perfect for track. Vortex Generator was an option.

Not problems just questions

See I just figured all the MR's were the same since our MR is Identical to the FQ as they call it in Europe so I just assumed. and here the vortex generators were standard so again I assumed.

If you remember I said the Evo is waay better than the STi IMO

I guess this was another one of those taken out of context issues common on the internet. I love the car.

Hard to express "emotion" on the net sometimes, sorry mate.

[dingo]
