Thank you, I work hard to keep it clean.
I'm not a fan of the tinted tails but I'm noticing from the pics that a lot of others are lol. I think I may go this route rim wise but it'll be a while because wifee wants a vacation and we usually spend the exact amount that these rims would cost for vacations.

azn: That is awesome. The price tag there in Japan (for the GT-R version) is about $970. I would think your price would be similar. But how much weight will you save?

Stock - 37lbs
FRP- not sure how much it weighs but as far as cost- I got it for 795.00 but the price just went up to 900.00
CF - 14lbs cost- 1149.97

Thanks man, but I'm a light weight with my evo friends. I'm literally the slowest & cleanest lol. One of my friends just went with a bigger turbo, the FP red and he's got 477 awp & 417 atq. That's a very low 11 sec capable car, another one of my friends with an evo 10 actually ran 11.0 at like 124 mph. The thing is though, if you wanna go fast you can't care about breaking your car and I do care. So I just concentrate on my visual stuff for now, it's fast enough as is.

Thanks, we are going to do a real shoot when my mods come in, here's what I got from that day everything else was really over exposed.

The kitty is getting a look at the trunk? Heh.

Very nice.....There's something to be said about being fast, but understated.

Thanks guys for the compliments, here's another one. Trunk still isn't painted but I went to HIN this weekend and hit the track and made a few terrible passes with my buddies. Best time was a 12.9 while I've gone 12.7 before on a different day, it was 103 degrees this weekend so I couldn't be to upset.

Got my new tune also by ny's best kept secret, "e-spec"! Here's my numbers

I'm the only white x in the video (blue painters tape to avoid rock chips)
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/me6tmCD7ZNA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/me6tmCD7ZNA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

I haven't been on in a while, and havent done very many new things to the 10. I did however add the ets open dump 02 housing downpipe which is pretty cool check it out it's faster and sounds like a raging bull when I floor it now.

One question, my friend bought his Evo X GSR 5speed last year. It's still a bone stock.

He has $1k to spend on power mods. What should he get? I have no idea about modifying Evos.. so..

Thanks!

Sorry I didn't see this post, I've been gone for a bit but what did your friend eventually buy since I'm sure he got something by now. I did uic pipe and intake first.

*Update
I got a beautiful new clutch, I had the exedy stage 2 which is a ceramitallic 3 puck that gives no leeway in terms of slippage or pedal stiffness. There's a video below of when I tried to have my wifee pull into the garage and one of my buddy backing out of the driveway. They both agreed that the clutch was to difficult for the street. Lol

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fEVU4GJRpB8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QtaZ...e_gdata_player

So now I have this beauty, the exedy twin disk and although I haven't installed it yet I drove my buddies 10 with the same clutch and it was smooth as butter.

It's been a while... But my most recent updates are my upgraded tail lights and projector headlights.

Before
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bjsvision/5974853372/" title="DSC_0645 by bjsvision, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6149/5974853372_5dd193b303_b.jpg" width="1024" height="683" alt="DSC_0645"></a>

After


Before of the old halogen headlights

After with my new projector headlights with manual leveling switch which retail for like $700
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bjsvision/7359031660/" title="Excelnce62012 by bjsvision, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7230/7359031660_a81f467604_b.jpg" width="1024" height="683" alt="Excelnce62012"></a>

Thanks guys, for all the compliments and silly comments and yea it's about time I got my ralliart tail lights, I wouldn't have bought them if I didn't find them for such a great price.

As for getting more toys from the fiancé now that I popped the question... I think it'll be a while since we're planning the wedding and saving for a house now. But at least I still get to keep my Evo for now lol. One of my married buddies said that my Evo will be sold for 50 pair of shoes if she's anything like his wife lol.

Here's some pics of us
