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. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

tarmac black, pretty much no options other than the spoiler and sunroof.
Both the spoiler and sunroof I could do without, but I got a decent deal on the car (500 above invoice), and there were no other available ebony versions in the state. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

When you picking it up?
I might as well let the cat out of the bag... I'll be getting mine sometime next week. I worked a deal with Zach from CII. I'll be getting his EVO for my bimmer and $19,000. Not a bad deal for an EVO that's putting down 260 hp on an awd dyno. I think Zach might be trying to surprise some people on CII with his new bimmer, so do me a favor and keep this info on this forum guys. |

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. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

actually i wouldn't consider it ghetto in light of marcus's hot rod thread... i respect kris's diy and admire it as a quality i wish i had more of.
but then again, i am dirty dirty white trash, and admire anyone who doesn't have to spell foneotikally like me. caps check -------------------- game over.
