evolution, I have evolved Options

[akamiami]

Well folks, in addition to being the proud owner of a mighty 92 GSX, a troubled 95 TSi, a beater 90 Laser FWD turbo, and currently working on a 99 GST 6 bolt swap, I have purchased a new LanEvo.

Sorry guys, I'm keeping the GSX forever, but the Evo was just too tempting to stay away from for long. I feel guilty for owning a car this sweet, as I should.

well......just thought I'd ad a little update here to the saga of the evo and it's humble beginnings.

Last week I installed a set of Tein S-tech springs on the car and it's stance is definately improved. A 2" drop is exactly what this car needed and the ride hasn't suffered a bit.

However, I couldn't stand that I keep modifying the car in ways that are ostensibly appealing, but not performance oriented. So, this week, I went off and followed SCC's recommendation and installed a larger, and adjustable, rear sway bar.

Pics are in the gallery, and there would be more, but I seem to have reached my limits with the before and after pictures of the springs.

These weren't the only modifications though. In the process of removing the old sway bar, I had to remove the axleback portion of the exhaust, which pretty much just included the muffler. FYI, buschur sells a peice that replaces this section with a straight pipe or muffler, and charges around 165 if I'm not mistaken. I was in turmoil. The performance side of me couldn't reinstall the exhaust back on knowing it was a bottleneck. However, the dsm'er in me wouldn't pay for a store bought part. So the cheap pooper diy side took over, ran to autozone and bought a 2.5" tailpipe extension, welded it onto the cutoff flange of the stock muffler, and I was set to go.
