Beautiful ride. Are those 03 Evo wheels. One of the cleanest DSMs I have seen. :thumbsup:

Keen eye, yeah they're from an EVO 8. I'm a little EVO-obsessed, its got the afformentioned evo wheels, EVO III cylinder head, evo 8 shift knob & oil cap ;) and I'm waiting on the right knuckles (they're from a JDM Galant so I'm still waiting on shipping from Tokyo, *sigh) to bolt on the EVO 8/9's Brembo calipers & rotors, and ultimately I'm installing the Recaro's from the evo as well :thumbsup:

oh, and road///race engineering molded some EVO IX vortex generators for my DSM :cheers:

Nice, i see the evo bumps on the top back as well. As long as your happy with it, right/ I think its nice and clean though.

I think deep down you really want an Evo :burnout:

When the EVO 8 came to the states I was first in line with a down payment, but the monthly payments of over $400 plus insurance which was $400 a month killed that idea... So I started looking at the next best thing, a 4G63 powered DSM :cheers:

Hopefully when the EVO X comes out and prices of EVO 8/9's drop I'll be back at the Mitsubishi dealership :thumbsup:

$400 a month for insurance :n00b: WOW. Your DSM is sweet.

When does the X comes out. I don't think they look like Evos.

Sweet Car!

I like them.
I like them so much I have that same head on my 6 bolt ;)
The 2nd pic is just showing the motor in the Avenger...since the Eclipse and Avenger engine bays look exact!

^^^ I just realized we have the same paint color :naughty: minden silver pearl I believe

silvercoupe97 · #13 (**permalink**) 08-22-2007, 03:59 AM

Mine is called Silver Mist Pearl.
It's pretty much the same thing but a slightly different paint mix I believe.
Does yours have a blue/purple mist hue to it under certain lighting conditions? Mine goes from a slight blue mist to slight purple mist to silver.

I like silver. Looks good and stays clean. Ill never own another black car. PITA

Sweet ride man!

Ricer · #16 (**permalink**) 08-22-2007, 09:10 PM

Ya the Evo Enkei's are nice!

lexy · #17 (**permalink**) 08-26-2007, 02:23 PM

beautiful! What size turbo is it? Is it stock? I drove a buddy's turbo eclipse almost all stock 5 days ago, it was slow, but still loved when the turbo spooled

Hideki · #18 (**permalink**) 08-26-2007, 02:26 PM

Mine's a FP Big T28 set @ 16 psi (the limit of my stock injectors) It starts building boost at around 2500 rpm so there's really little lag. Eventually I'll get larger injectors and an AFC so I can see how much boost I can run :thumbsup: But then I'll probably just upgrade to a dual BB 57 trim

Ricer · #19 (**permalink**) 08-26-2007, 03:38 PM

Sounds good! :thumbsup:

That's what I have too but with 780cc injectors, short route piping+fmic, DSMLink to control it all, and, soon to be installed water/alky injection. I've got mine set to 21psi at the moment, without W/I.

Wait till you are able to set it to 21psi ;)
