Default Anyone own an Evo

I realise I have probably just swore at most of you using the word Evo but I was wondering if anyone of you owned one or have mates that do?

I am thinking about supplying some parts and also making a few carbon bits and wondered if they would be popular

My experience of Evo owners is that they LOVE bits of function-less stick on Carbon, so you should find a good market there!

I had an evo x fq 360 5 speed manual with Indigo GT 400/400 remap. Bloody thing was absolutely amazing , no need for any supporting mods just a remap and it was reliably taking 400 brake all day long. I also had a hawkeye scoob at that time and that had £16k spent on it and it was 385 brake . The evo was quicker than the scooby and handling was unbelievably amazing, and on the other hand it wouldnt wake a baby on a 100 mile trip. But one thing imho the evo didnt have against the scoob was obv the sound and the feeling it gave you as a driver. After a good spirited drive in the subaru it made you feel that you did it and you have the skill to do it , but in the evo it just made you feel that you was cheating because it was just too precice, spot on . I get why evo lovers love em but spose im just a subaru man.
And yes evo boys are mad for the carbon add ons

I'm wondering if you've missed the boat on this? Aside from those which are being kept unmodified (very few), I should imagine that most owners have already 'carbonated'?! their cars. Maybe there are newer cars which are yet to fall into mods territory where you can be first to market e.g. BMW 4 series.

Thanks for the info guys Im going to be signing up as a trader on the MLR soon ive been adding new products to the website every day

I have seen Carbon Goodies before I think the owner imports all of the products rather than making them in house, I hope to offer a better and cheaper service once the products get off the ground

I had a few carbon bits on my evo, slam panel, plug cover and cambelt cover all bought from Tegiwa Imports.....There are a few traders that sell these parts which appear to be the most common.
