Hi guys

Picked up my new Evo from Capt.Mike yesterday and loving it so far!

Firstly I'll show you my previous car - A Corsa C with a bit of a twist...

Started off as a standard 1.8 SRi and ended up with a 420bhp Astra VXR engine with a GT3076 :lol:

Won't bore you with lots of pics but here's what it was like

Respray (originally black):



Total Vauxhall photoshoot:









Engine (fully forged etc)





Anyway onto the Evo :D

Just as I was about to drive off from Mike's house



We then went out and did some night time photography :)











Back home for its first wash



and a few more random ones :)















Plans are:

- New wheels, probably Rota Grid Drifts in 9.5J
- Re-paint bonnet and front bumper due to stone chips
- Some carbon goodness
- Enjoy it :)

Would like to say a special thanks to Mike for being so helpful throughout the process of buying it and to his neighbour Ray for taking time to be there when I picked it up due to Mike being away :)

Looking good buddy!

Yeah, I couldn't make it, I was stuck in London until late with work (started a new job on Monday)
I'll be working from home moving forward, so I'll be there next time for sure:smthumbup

Went to a local Jap meet last night and found some pictures, you'll notice the new wheels, didn't really think the MO6's suited as much as I liked the wheels themselves. These are rare lightweight Motec MCR1's in 9J...they will be painted gunmetal soon as well.

Looks good with new wheels, what is the offset as could do with spacers to bring them out slightly?

ET35, I think the rear would rub if they were spaced, but I might try a 5mm spacer on the front and see what it looks like, they're very very close to the calipers!
Love the new wheels
There nice, they have a rim kinda like OZ Superleggara's and a face like Rota Torques ;)
