Car has been lowered now, was riding way too high.
HID headlights also sorted out and IC Waterspray fixed.
Couple of pics, nothing special - mate took the moving shot, blurry as hell but I kinda like the look of it.

I'm starting to like your car from day to day (usually I don't like the Evos) but in red, very nice
the 700 in your plate means ......engine upgrade

A few performance mods next up I think, wheels can wait a bit.

just springs for the moment, the handling really is that good that I don't think coilovers are justified right now.

If the stock exhaust is anything like the american versions, it's unbelievably restrictive. My friend has 3" turbo back piping and it made a huge difference. not just in power, but in noise, it's almost too loud. lol

Is the handling better then the Scooby at this moment, without any major changes?
Nice new sig BTW!

Yep I'll be going for 3" exhaust (Tomei/Trust) and an ECU retune (safer than boost controller) - should make quite a difference with more controlled boost.
I will be heading to the 1/4 mile tonight (if rain holds off) to test the car stock standard, I wanna be able to see what difference each mod makes.
Handling wise - the Evo is way above and beyond the WRX even like it is now. The way the AWD works (AYC mode I'm still working out which is best - gravel or tarmac), the steering feel and the tendancy to oversteer rather than understeer is great. Took it into the hills on Sunday morning and was as quick as the Rex without having to push anywhere near as hard.

^^ Yeah seems common fact so I hear that the Scooby understeers and the Evo rather oversteers in which the computer will sort it out..
Anyway nice to hear that! I mean who would know better then a man who has owned both?!

wrong... you still need a boost controller (get flashed/tuned first though). also remove the pill from the vacuum hose to the solenoid.
before i got my manual boost controller (MBC) i used EcuFlash to flash my car with a Jestr M1 flash, and was spiking to 22psi and tapering down to ~17psi. it was also fluctuating if you stepped on the gas ~4000rpm. with the boost controller, i'm spiking to 22psi and tapering down to 20psi. the difference is easily noticeable.

I get a custom tune of the car done on the dyno and boost is controlled very well, definately no need for an MBC. This isn't a generic tune thrown onto any Evo that comes in, custom tuned to suit particular mods.
Once its done I will show you the boost "curve".
Was the same situation with the Rex.

I'm definitely interested. Most cars' solenoids can't hold boost as well as an MBC. LMK what it's peaking to, and what it's tapering down to.
Will they be using EcuFlash or EcuTek?
