Stance Auto Magazine JDM edition

After this, I turned my attention to the suspension and went
for a set of Ohlins which made night and day difference. This
is how it was left for a while as I turned to learn how to
detail and make carbon parts. When I decided to kick off
modding it again I started with a fresh set of wheels from
Japan and I believe they are the only set on an Evo still to
date in the UK. They are Yokohama Advan racing rz-df.
These were fitted with some Yokohama Advan tyres with
some tyre stickers from tyre stickers in the USA, just to
make them a bit more different, accompanied with a set of
Ralliart mud flaps. This made the brakes look tatty so it was
time to sort them out with a set of alcons for both the front
and rear. I changed the stick on number plate for a Jap sized
plate with a custom carbon plate holder. I used the car for a
few shows and a trip to the Evo triangle.

Interior;
For a while the colour had been bugging me as even though
it was immaculate the paint had been ruined by someone in
Japan lacquering the car and getting moisture in with it so it
gave it a slight Pearl look and not the proper OEM colour it
should be. So after a lot of visits to numerous places across
England I settled for Steve at Steve smart repairs in Stokeon-Trent,
who did an amazing job on it! With the new paint,
it was time for some new front lights to keep it looking brand
new.
This year I thought the gauges were looking dated, so I
decided to go digital so all of the gauges and even the OEM
clusters were removed and replaced with a syvecs s7 ECU
and an aim Strada dash display. As well as this the guys at
GR Performance also fitted a Rexspeed rear carbon diffuser
and also remapped it.
This is where I’m now at with the car and now all the safety side
of things are done on the car it’s now to look into upping the
power! Roll on next year for some shows so I can get out in it and
use it some more!
