Default Project EVO
Recently I have been visiting Steve at Vertex/Tysons VA on a reguler basis. He has been working hard on building the ultimate US EVO. And he is doing a really great job of it. Here are some pictures and a couple things he has done to it already. The thread is located at my personal website but I wanted to share with everyone this very interesting project he has undertaken. Enjoy.

The parts already started arriving from Japan. And a steady stream keep coming. I will also post the progression of this car here too.

HKS Racing Blow-Off Valve

Endless 345mm 6-Piston front 4-Piston rear

HKS 280/272 camshafts and valvesprings, 1000cc injectors, iridium plugs

Having that much money takes the fun out of being broke in between parts.

All of the parts look really nice.

Jay, you'll need 18s to clear most 345mm brakes. But it's the caliper that hits the wheel, not the rotor. So you gotta get your offsets right.
