Highlander, schmighlander. Last I checked, they didnt have sliding passenger doors for when your running late and need the kids to just tuck and roll out of the vehicle as you "coast" by their school. Plus, with a minivan, you can put a sticker of a stick figure family on the back window to show all the pedophiles how many kids you have and what their names are. hahaaha. In all seriousness tho, the evo looks clean. Glad you were finally able to pick one up that you liked.
Just let me know when your ready for a real car, and I'll find you a top notch minvan with all the trimmings, flip down tv's with cracked screens, busted ass trim with peenies stuffed behind it, and ketchup and gum already stuck in the carpet, the list of mods goes on and on. Let me know.......

No one with less than 4 kids needs a minivan.

Let Damon manage his life/family.

MAHALOHAWAII · 11-28-2012, 05:41 PM

this isnt where i parked my car.

s0fa king · 11-28-2012, 07:27 PM

Evo looks to be in great shape. Congrats.

MR tails looked better IMO

Darren · 11-29-2012, 07:51 AM

oh man, he finally gets a car, it's a beauty, and people still bitching...

Everyone's living vicariously through you Damon :P

Evo looks nice, btw, good luck with the mini-build

They were knock offs, so naturally they had to go. OEM VII tails will be in sometime in the next month or so.

I picked up some stock lug nuts last night (thanks Travis!) and had my Hankook iCept Evo W310 snow tires installed by my good friend Chris at Discount Tire this morning. I think the car looks a ton better on the stock wheels than the XXRs it came with. Excited to put some different wheels on it in the spring after the coilovers are installed, but these will be great for winter duty:

Pretty cool to have a car they can actually get on the lift! lol:

I also picked up a center console to repair a hole that was drilled into the one that came with the car, and a cig lighter (was missing.):

If my other parts from MitsubishiParts.net are here by the weekend, I'll do all of my interior work then. I've also got something coming that should be here tomorrow, so I'll be installing that this weekend as well. Excited to spend a little time on the car.

Hahahahhahaha. I'm sure he can take a joke, after all, he has a build thread on zilvia.

Anyways, I was curious as to what made you decide on the EVO instead of WRX? Maybe this was already answered and i missed it.

s0fa king · 11-29-2012, 07:08 PM

VII tails on red is sex. Well played sir.

CamryOnBronze · 12-03-2012, 10:42 AM

Cyber Monday got the best of me...

I was browsing on FR Sport and saw that the Blitz LM Type CS intercooler core was on sale for about $220 off. I had been hoping to sell the ETS core that came with the car to pick something else up, so this was too good of a deal to pass up. The core is a bit thinner than the ETS, and I am sure there are reasons related to performance that show that the Blitz is not as nice, but as all know, I am a sucker for Japanese products.

Always fun to come home to a big ol box!

The contents. I ended up reusing the couplers and t-bolt clamps that were on the car already.

It seems to be common practice for people to run intercoolers with logos stenciled on them in the Evo world: ETS, AMS, etc. This wasn't as common in the 240 scene, so I never really went through with it. The ricer in me decided to whip up a Blitz stencil for the intercooler and spray it on before I installed it:

Front bumper removal was straight forward. It's always a little intimidating to do something like this on a car you are not super familiar with, but it was off within 15 minutes:

Old core removed and new core painted and installed. My car came with an ETS lower pipe, but I need to replace the other factory piping at some point down the road. I'll save that for another day:

Some completed photos of the dirty car before I left for work this morning:

I'm getting more and more happy with the car as I have time to work on it. I've got a couple other things on the way, I just need the time to actually work on it! I had planned to get a lot more work done, but the time always seems to just slip away.

ixfxi · 12-03-2012, 10:54 AM

evo? where'd you get an evo from

seriously, this is so much better of a car for you. fwd AWD w/ altekka tail lights... totally rocks.

i cant believe you're spending money on yet ANOTHER money pit. you're married with kids man, you're having a pre mid-life crisis and need to realize that once you have kids, you're modding is over.

money for the family > money for the car

GAME OVER DAMON, GAME OVER

future · 12-03-2012, 11:34 AM

I don't understand why you made such a huge reason and post about the 40, no time. Blah blah blah.

But now since you have a evo you have time to work on it a couple times a week and get it ready to DD in the morning for work. But couldn't find time to work on a side car?

Why not just admit you didn't want a 240 anymore and wanted something else to work on

Seriously?
WHO GIVES A FUCK.

Damon,
Continue.

KiLLeR2001 · 12-03-2012, 11:44 AM

This thread needs to be locked since it is no longer a build thread about a 240sx.

bigs · 12-03-2012, 11:50 AM

^or is it because the car has a sunroof?

gbaby2089 · 12-03-2012, 11:52 AM

Damon, any plans to go VII or IX front bumper?

Backintoans13 · 12-03-2012, 12:52 PM

Not gonna lie...the blitz logo on the intercooler is pretty ricer, but like you said, guess that's an Evo thing.

You care way too much about a car you've never seen in person or a person you've never met in real life.

future · 12-03-2012, 04:18 PM

You guys are funny. It's a question. It doesn't bother me one fucking bit what he does. I'm just saying he posted two fucking essays about it. But does the same thing? You guys get so offended for a damn question lol

Anyways, nice grab, I love the FMIC (typical sucking Damon's dick zilvia response)

You shouldn't have to question other people's personal choices. Whether or not Damon got tired of his 240SX is none of our business. He bought a new car and is sharing his new build (or whatever you want to call it) with us. All in all, this car is way more practical and safer for someone who has a family and I think we can all agree on that.

Bumpkin203 · 12-03-2012, 05:56 PM

Wow you are making me wanna sell my 40 and get a 4door.....but then again i dont have nearly what you did in yours lmao. Honestly i see myself doing this in a few years also. Kids change prioritys haha

scottie · 12-03-2012, 06:00 PM

Very nice Damon! I love that model of Evo. Looks clean and simple.

tricky_ab · 12-03-2012, 06:04 PM

Holy crap the sodium content is high in this thread.

Hey Damon, I hope you continue to update us here...

If not, then I guess I'll have to hit up EVOM

drscooper · 12-03-2012, 07:24 PM

yeah i want to here more about the evo also!

leung · 12-03-2012, 07:30 PM

Lookin good man! Atleast now you got some holiday spirit to spice up these typical driveway shots lol.
