its fully setup. coilovers, big brake swap, slicks, poly, seats and a harness. the hamster has been pumped for a little bit of extra power too - but is getting worn out!
I'm currently running the Emanage blue, NGK Powerdex wideband, and i have the output on the WB02 running to the emanage via the boost port. works great.

Looks good. Sounds like you are putting those mods to use--where as me, on an island, not nearly as much as I'd like.
Welcome!

thank you all for the warm welcome! i'm hoping to get the emanage figured out soon before i turbocharge...
did some work this past weekend. trying to figure out some issues but cannot yet. i think it is timing related. put the OEM cam back in, fixed my radiator hoses and a few other wiring issues under the hood.

Hey This car look just like a evo 6 but it doesn't have a 4g63 and it 2 door. They must of only made these cars in the states. I don't ever remember seeing one when I lived in the states.

big updates...
ditched the 1.5 for a 1.8, did the entire swap using the 1.5 harness/ignition/ecu . still running the emanage which im pretty sure i will be ditching since i cant get any computer to connect to it, and an e01 just isnt worth it.
but here she is right now, new front end, new fun bits too.
