RayArroyo · 01-05-2009, 08:33 PM

i inherited a 20g and 660 cc's looks like that will be going on before the tune this weekend

hm, how did you tint the tails? i hate the nightshading that everyone does, this looks nicer, is it a film? also how'd you get the mitsu emblems to be black, or did you just buy them that way?

Tails are done by car optics using 3m headlight protection, peels right off with no residue if i ever decide to get rid of them. used the same crap to do the mitsu emblem.

thanks i'll keep that in mind - i'm so against nightshading and i don't think i can drop the money on jdm's

RayArroyo · 01-06-2009, 03:27 PM

night shading looks way to dark, dull and can never be removed

peteyturbo · 01-06-2009, 04:10 PM

J.Ralli · 01-09-2009, 04:15 PM

i want my evo back...

keep up the good work Ray!

RayArroyo · 10-08-2009, 09:09 AM

Well guys , i wanted to do a little update on the status of the car, since i sold the sti and its gone ,this is now my new car

my wife is going to jump into like a new avant wagon or something in those lines in the summer.

This week i'm going to refinish all of the brembo brakes, i have already finished one and it turned out amazing. Ill also be redoing the winter wheels black.I also discovered that the stock front endlinks are shot so i have whiteline ones on the way. Aside from this, im going to take it easy on modding over the winter, once the spring comes ill probably get new wheels, bigger turbo,Fmic and injectors

RayArroyo · 04-22-2010, 04:48 PM

Its been a while since i have updated this but it has been 5 months since i sold the sti and took over my wife's evo and i haven't looked back since. cant believe i owned this car for 3 years prior and barely drove it.Lots has changed since it became my car, due to all of the snow the car is now back to stock suspension which i hate the looks but it does serve a purpose.

I recently hit my 60,000 mile mark on the car so it was time to do the timing belt job, while i was at it i figured i would switch from my bc 272 cams to gsc s1 cams and all i can say is what a difference, the idle is a lot more lumpier than the bc cams but the power was well worth the upgrade. according to my road dyno i picked up about 15 whp on the same map as my bc cams.

Recent upgrades also included

Ets front mount intercooler
Aem Wideband
Aem Intake
GSC S1 Cams
White Line swaybar endlinks (to replace my broken factory ones)
Evo 9 Bypass Valve
New Custom 3" stealth turbo back exhaust consisting of a MagnaFlow 11249 Stainless Steel 3" Oval Muffler, and aeroturbine bullet muffler. I still stayed cat less and it sounds just like stock at cruise and idle.

Previously Installed Mods
Act 6 puck heavy duty clutch
Act Flywheel
Walboro 255 lph Pump
Hallman Pro MBC
Turbotek tuned
Turbo Xs 3" downpipe

I will snap recent pictures tonight.

My goal is to have a mid to high 11 second car on a stock evo turbo, so my next goal is to upgrade the turbo to an evo 9 turbo, replace the 02 housing with a titek one port the manifold and coat it, run larger injectors and e85. Once that's completed id like to get some after market wheels (nothing fancy) replace my brake lines,pads,new oem brembo rotors and switch to motul brake fluid.

boostedfury · 04-22-2010, 05:46 PM

sounds awesome Ray..how have you been man?

RayArroyo · 04-23-2010, 07:52 AM

i am doing good Dante, just trying to get used to my new neck of the woods. finally doing some tuning around here as people are starting to learn about me. i also come to pa for tuning a lot so that helps keep me sane.

Honest_Bob · 04-23-2010, 09:31 AM

Snoozie · 04-23-2010, 09:35 AM
