From STOCK to STUD on a broke college student budget (50+pics)
I'll be updating as updates become available. Please excuse some of the pics, taken on my phone, and I'm no photographer . Thanks for looking!!! Feel free to leave comments!

The two cars I drove prior to my Evo. The explorer for 1st and then the Marauder for a little.


Loyola University Chicago Track & Field; part of the reason I was able to pick up my car


11/12/08 at the delearship
Bone Stock 2006 Evo IX SSL with about 13000 miles (1 owner, supposedly no winters)


1st wash and shorty antenna



Head unit, the only thing that wasn't stock (don't mind dirty interior )


My pitbull, Beba



1st performance mod...KN cone filter


Debadged...getting tints done



1st car meet


Paint prep for the interior pieces






"custom" gredy shift knob




Removed the spoiler



Enter Rexpeed CF lip, side spats, and spoiler




No trunk holes




Twins? We both worked at the same bank too (different braches though)


Trying to put my jdm bumper in the car, it somehow fit


before


after (Had the "diffuser" painted flat black)


some performance stuff in my room for the longest time


Exedy twin plate hd...the reason why I didn't buy rims


Halman mbc rx


Magnaflow muffler-tip


Apex Muffler and Repair in Michigan City...place where I got all my performance stuff done. (custom turbo back exhausts done for about 250). Big thanks to them


Clutch install...fun


My cousin trying to get the messed up tob out






My bro helping out with the exhaust...




3 inch custom tbe (no cat)


Lowered on Swift Springs Sport



Left the car for a little to go buy something, and the car getting some love from some girls that had previously seen my tuner (Kunal aka inco9nito99) and I working on the car. Awesome tune, night and day difference. Thanks Kunal!

How do you like the Exedy? Surprised you put it in so soon after getting the car. I'm not a big fan of most silver cars but with the body mods you have done it actually looks really good. Good luck with it the rest of the way, have you gotten a tune yet?

Nice bro! you really took the car to a higher level, little by little. Only thing I would have done is kept the wing but that's personal taste.
I know Kunal, I sold my JDM RS headlights to him great guy!
Congrats on your ride, I have family in michigan BTW

The exedy is great except its loud and annoying. The car had about 20k miles when I put the clutch in. I don't know if it was my fault or the previous owners but o well now. I have a street tune now. To be honest, I'm indifferent to silver, its ok but not my 1st choice, but I couldn't overlook the price (at the time I got it, the price was the same as auction prices) and condition.

How many miles have you put on it so far? I have heard that twin discs are loud but you get use to it over time. As far as annoying what do you mean? The noise, driveability, anything else?
thanks
