My Evo X
The Evo was making close to 400WHP with Headerback Exhaust, Intake, Wastegate, and Pill to increase boost! It was a beast but MPG was in the toilet...LOL!!!

Last Setup on the S2K before I let her go. Broke the Mugen front lip for the last time and bought A CR front lip, Sold the Prodrive GC07s for the Mugen MF10s and upgraded to Mugen 2.2L header and intake and switched out Tein Springs for KW V2 Coilovers. Also added X Brace, Floor Ladder Bars to stiffen up the chassis

Tell me about it between the family, guns, tattoos and the car I need to get a few more jobs... Lol
Oh I was thinking about your build Jon. I can get the floor mats like I had in my S the CAROism ones made in Japan to fit our car, they are balled and can be ordered in any clor checker you want. Only downside is price retail is about 550.00 or so with the current exchange rate. I plan on getting black/silver at some point in my build (probably neer the end lol!!!)

I did that photoshop back in the day to see if I liked the ce28s. Mario was for fun. Anyone know what that quote is from?

My high school car was an old Dodge Aspen with a V8 (yes, V8) engine that I bought for $500. The car was ridiculously overpowered. We would drive it *way* too fast, then complain how unfair it was that we had to pay such high insurance rates as teen drivers
After that, I moved to a big city and just rented cars as needed. Didn't have one for 10 years.
Next up was a Toyota Corolla, followed by a Honda Accord, then the ILX. The one thing I really miss about the Accord was that it had the best visibility of any car I've ever owned. The windshield was huge and the blind spot was minimal. Have to be much more careful in the ILX.

Wow I would have never guessed they were 17s... should look good on the ILX. Always like those wheels because they have a little lip even on high offset wheels that Hondas typically use... LOL

1984 Plymouth Turismo 2.2 - first car!
1992 Geo Storm - base model automatic, still better than an eight year-old Plymouth.
1992 Honda Accord LX Coupe - my first 5-speed, rosewood brown, beautiful car.
1994 Saturn SL2 "Homecoming" - one of about 6,000 limited-spec sedans done in pearl white
1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D - bought off the wholesale lot of Westside C-P-J for $1300 in March 1998. 245,000 miles on the odo, original head and turbo, GREAT CAR. I never should have sold it, though I did to a friend four months later for a $2000 profit.
1994 Chrysler LeBaron GTC convertible - apart from letting go of the Benz, this was the biggest auto-related mistake of my life.
2002 Ford Focus ZX3 - my first "new" car
2004 Pontiac Grand Am SE1 - 5-speed, sunroof, Monsoon sound. The first car I ever bought that was equipped exactly as I wanted it.
2006 Mazda 6S - The story of how and why I bought this are detailed here: http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/201...the-karma-kar/
2012 Ford Escape - "Time for something different."
2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder - the weekend toy
