Cheers folks, ant my life would be over if I posted pics of her on here lol
I've bought a set of standard enkei alloys that i'm gonna paint a dark gunmetal colour to make it look that bit meaner and get the front lights blacked out as well.

Its actually level, the rear arch sits lower than the front making it look rear heavy

I really do not like Jap cars at all. But I've got a soft spot for Evo's and yours is sweet. Wish I could afford one

There not that expensive to buy, its the running costs that sting a bit.

Nice Eck, best colour & I for one likes the wheels more than at 1st.
Are the running costs as expected then/worse. I cant see them being too bad...........my BM's stung to the tune of £1250 for servicing & £1100 in repairs in 9 months, not to menting consumables. & best bit is ive only done 4k miles in that time. I'll need to get out in it more. Not to Glenshee though, it would be an absolute nightmare!!

if its DIY it shouldnt be too bad (as long as your arent wrecking clutches etc)
£60 for oil, £4 for filter, not much for air filter (maybe every 2nd service and depends if its OE)
Pulgs - about £50 if fancy dan Iridiums, much less for decent NKG's. Every 2nd service.
Gearbox, Diff's, AYC etc - not sure on intervals but i'd do it yearly on a road car.

Adam, its not that great in the snow tbh, the tyres are just to wide I think. Its fun tho 
The running costs aint to bad, not as bad as I heard anyways
£40 for millers oil 5w40
£3 for genuine mitsu oil filter
£60 all in including delivery for Diff/Gearbox/Transfer box oils from opie oils
Canny mind what £££ the plugs were but I got the NKG's
Got it all done at my own garage I use for £30 and thats it done for at least a year.
The engine oil requires every 4.5k miles but every high performance car would need that.
So its not that bad really. If you abuse the car constantly then it will cost you a fair bit of cash all the time but I only have a "play" every now and then as the wife uses it through the week.
