Default Indigo-GT Evo X - Something from the darkside

Hi,

I recently bouth an Evo X have slowly been adding parts to the car to get it to where we want it. It is not there yet but it is getting there

Here are some pics.

When we first had the car




Then the first modification BC ER series coilovers. Needed some fine tuning but finally there







And then I had a chance to get some very very special brakes so jumped at the chance








Now on this part it was a bit of a love hate thing and I just fancied something a little different, let me know what you think







And everyone like a bit of carbon















The only thing the car was crying out for was a set of wheels so for now I have a set of Rota Grid 18x9.5 with Toyo R888 265/35/18 tyres











Will be at Rallyday with the car tomorrow and have some track time so if you are around give us a shout

And finally here os one from its first time on tack

Hello and welcome.

Nice car, best colour.

Please excuse my cell mates as some of them have no manners, and some have been bitch slapped and wupped by Evo X's.

I know nothing about tuning cars, all I know is that you press the loud pedal harder to make it go faster.

Why does your reg keep changing ?

And what watch do you wear....

Spotted the Indigo-GT logos on the back window of the car but didn't realise it was yours tbh. Looked v.quick and sure footed on track, impressed me You were on track with another evo (7/8/9)??? and were very closely matched by the look of it. Did you know the other car and spec? Just wondering myself how much of a difference the 10 chassis is over the outgoing Evo chassis really?

Loving the green, well done for being different.

Well here is a bit of an update

Change the suspension to Ohlins R&T
Added Recaro Seats
Some Funky Gram Lights
New Splitter
And Some Canards

Here are the pictures after it was recently detailed



Wheel arches before: (Salt covered Ohlins coilovers are no good!)





And after:





The car sports a great set of wheels - Rays Gramlights, in fluro yello/ green!

they had their fair share of grime on them:



After a 3 stage clean they looked like this. Not perfect, but the insides are not laquered so had some staining which could not be removed.



The outsides were polished with Swissvax cleaner fluid and protected with Swissvax Autobahn Wheel wax.

The exterior was then machine polished lightly to enhance the paint with Swisswax cleaner fluid and given a coat of Swissvax Best of Show to protect it as much as possible. Photos of the finished car after the wax was buffed off, the exhausts polished, windows cleaned, interior valeted... etc etc!

































Done a good bit more but can't remember it all lol

Like the wheels. Don't think I'd go for the same colour though. Does stand out mind.

Whole car looks mint.

That's really nice!

I wouldn't say no to one of those in the future but I still have this feeling that Evo's need so much more care & attention that It would maybe end up doing my head in??

I`m half expecting those wheels to glow in the dark with the colour on them, they look sweet!!

Very nice car, and I`ve never been a fan of EVO`s.
