Some more pics:
I had to work on a Saturday! Yuk! But the one thing I do enjoy about going to the office on a weekend is being able to drive there instead of taking the subway. On this particular day, there was a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV parked in front of me. I don't particularly like this car too much (I actually prefer the EVO VI TME -if I had to choose). But anyways, I happend to have my digital camera handy so I snapped a few. I was suprised to see how much higher the Evo IV is to my R. I have stock suspension and I'm assuming this Mitsu does too. But, I guess since its a rally breed machine, it needs the extra clearance.
Here is another shot of the Evo IV from the front. Notice the enormous fog lamps. Not my cup of tea but I do respect this car a great deal. With a little tweaking, it's capable of delivering 400 horses to all four wheels. That's pretty impressive for a 2.0L turbocharged engine. The initial goal of my project was to make my car as fast if not faster than one of these. And although I will never have the traction that the Evo has, I think I am getting to a pretty repectable power level. Enough to even win stares from GT-R owners.
And yet another shot of my R vs. the Monster. Notice the difference in ride hight. I'm not sure if its wearing 16" or 17" wheels.
Last shot. This was taken in front of my uncle's new house. The car is filthy and needs a bath real badly!
