Hey there. I'm new (Obviously!)

So, a few words of introduction:

I'm from Bristol. I have owned my Evo 8 260 for almost 18 months now. It's going down the all black look for a slightly intimidating/aggresive look. It's also been relatively modded with HKS 272 cams, adjustable pulleys, 10.5T turbo hotside, large intercooler, aftermarket exhaust (Not sure on make as was on it when I bought it),fuel pump and ECUTEK map. Probably running approx 390bhp.

She also has some choice carbon parts which are front splitter, vortex generator and side skirt extensions making a subtle but complimentary look. The front lights have been split apart, detango'd and sprayed matt black. On the rear she has US spec lights. All working very well together i think. I'm just waiting to get a full carbon Evo 8 OEM style rear spoiler. Hopefully later in December with a bit of luck.

She also has a slipping clutch at the moment which should be fixed on Thursday (2nd December at Indigo-GT)


A few pics of 'Evie':
When I first got her:

welcome mate looks good you trying to make it look like martins off mlr?

Nah, don't know who martin is :)

Just a natural progression of the look really. Seemed the right way to go. The chrome look lights are horrid, so when they got sprayed black it seemed obvious to go for that all black look.

I'm wondering if even the front badge can be got in carbon!
