I like black wheels but on this i'd say keep em white. Plus with the majority thinking it, might be easier to sell on?

I was waiting for when the 'super clean silver' suggestion would rear its ugly head.

It's an Evo, it doesn't need to stand out any more lol.
What power is your's running Jim?Evo life. 84 miles and down to a quarter.
Have you ever bothered to work out the mpg mate?
All I know is, they drink fuel like an alcoholic drinks vodka. [emoji23]

That was the killer for me, justification of fuel. My previous Impreza was addicted to the stuff.
Red on white looks crap imo.
Black on white looks 'OK'
White on white looks great, imo.

My 8 MR inhales fuel. If you drive sensibly it's not so bad, think I get around 24 to 26. Drive it hard you'll be lucky to see 10.

My mates used to see around 36-42 on a run. You just need to get a standalone ecu and have someone who will run it lean until it starts to det, then bring it back a notch. That's obviously at a cruising speed though!! 70-80mph is where his was mapped to be über economical.
I've never dared!

Yeah if you have to calculate mpg it's really not a car for you. Lol
I just put X amount of fuel in mine and when it's empty I fill it up again. [emoji106]
I have my old van to do the 50 mile round trip to work. [emoji2]

Any pics of after?
280 standard. Mines running 'stage 1' so should be around 350bhp. A set of cams and improved air filter set up should see just short of 400 which would be enough for me.

Lol. Nutter. I'm doing my first one in a week or two. Will be 2k since last, its every 4,500 according to RallyArt
Why did you bother?! 😂
Every 6 months!
Plus I wanted to try out the Fuchs race stuff and see how hard it was. Far easier to change than on the clios!
Few little changes to the Evo this week.
The car had a terrible set of hids fitted which made everyone flash me constantly so removed those for some osram bulbs.
Also removed the HKS Bov as wasn't my scene;
One of the popular mods is to relocate the battery slightly to allow better air flow to be filter and also run a different filter. This is the set up before. HKS shroom filter aka the 'grit muncher' and battery in standard slot.
Battery removed and relocated with the relocate kit left a lovely patch of visible rust!
Opened the induction kit and the maf adaptor plate was rubbish and it was missing the turbo reducer pipe. Not happy! Luckily my pal had a spare to use for the time being until the replacement arrives. Fitted the filter and this is how it looks. Positioned a lot closer to the front arch for better flow.

So got to work trying to make the rust look a little better. I scrubbed off the surface rust and treated with krust.
Then it was pikey time so broke out the paint brush and coated the area in etch primer and then a couple of coats of scotia white.
Certainly not the best finish but with the filter back in I think it looks a lot better than rust.
