"He's got a cool air intake, its got a nos fogger system with a t4 turbo Dominick. I see a AIC controller..... it has direct port nitrous injection."

"Yeah, and a stand-alone fuel management system. Not a bad way to spend 10,000 dollars."

Untill the do high rpm bumps for a while. The tranny wont last. I know of a new EVO that will not go into 3rd after only three triips to the track. He is modded and the tranny is already going out.

I just talked to my bro who went to look at the DC5 front clip for me while I was at work today. He found an entire JDM right hand drive CTR for $10k

Now do I stick with my 7thgen and do a DC5 conversion or do I spend more $$ and buy the CTR.

at 250+ whp, the stock itr axles begin to break ... go with aftermarket

with an lsd and radials, you still will not get traction with 500 whp off the line

oh ... just buy the ctr ... they have sickass wheels

The guy who is selling the front clip has a R33 Skyline GTS for cheap. I might just get it and call it a day.
