I'd gut out the interior, RS style. Just looking at that shot of the interior made me realize how much weight could be lost if you did just that. We all know that the easiest way to make a car quicker is to take all the useless, unneeded sh*t out. And if you're making an Evo replica, why not make it an RS?
If you're gonna cook rice, cook it good I say.
Gut out that bloody tan interior... God I hate tan carpet with black plastic.

Yeah gutting the interior of the tan is also another prioroty. I'm thinking of checking out some local junkyards, maybe I can find some parts from the EVO 8 interior that I can fit in there.

I don't really have much to say because I'm not a ricemobile fan; just stay away from the exposed intercooler look, that is just plain rice...
The 60's called, they want this guy back.
Family business?
Must suck to know a $4500 93 GSX with about two paychecks invested could shove a bucket of sh*t down your (insert boring muscle car)'s throat, on your own playing field, the straight line. Or supra...
....or rx-7. Or skyline, or 300zx.... er I'll stop now. Or rather, the guy with the daily driven 12 second 6 cylinder car that's actually practical will stop now.
Mess with better topics, get the horns.
@BCSpeed, after reading this guy's posts, I sincerely hope you stick with this car and update us. I've realized why I care more about this generation of cars.
If it's AWD, they'll say it won because it's AWD. If it's RWD, they say it won because it's turbo, if it's N/A, they'll say it won because it's expensive & not worth the value. Sore losers if there ever were any. Man up and admit the muscle days were memories.

Please don't start the whole 'rice vs. muscle' argument again.
Heed your own advice, hick. But it's cute you thought there was any "argument".

Just stay away from your sister, thats just plain incest.
Kevin gives thumbs up.
Kick them while they're down, thats the way I roll.

On topic - We have two trashed Evos here at a local junkyard. One was wrapped around a tree and the other was smashed from the rear by a semi. The tree hitter has a decent ammount of salvage interior and the semi hit is about the same. Honestly, it looks like the guy saw his crushed rear end, stripped the motor and clip out, and left the body and interior (minus the pancaked/smashed trunk) to the scrapheap. If you are willing to drive, its at Capo's Salvage on I65 in New Brighton, PA.

Seriously. I highly dislike the whole "way too low to be functional" look, extreme body kits, goofy ass metallic paint jobs, etc etc, that can be found on a ricer, but somethings just look nice. What's wrong with an exposed intercooler? More mechanicals showing, the better. Just take an Ariel Atom for example, lol.

Stick this up your ass, TLC, Kevin and company. [SIZE=-7]And go screw your sister.[SIZE]
Notice that this is from a muscle car site, making fun of rice...
I don't know about Kevin, but myself and TLC both drive high performance Nissans, so I'm not sure why a Ford with a f*cked radiator rammed in the front is going to be something we'd care much about.
And also, you need to figure out what rice actually means, because you retarded bogan V8 pullers seem to have the definition wrong.
Notice this: A muscle car, some may argue, with a huge, almost beyond "ricer" style, intercooler.
Sexy intercooler..."rice" style:
-Slash...I had a high performance Nissan. It may not be in the sense that you think, seeing as it was a Nissan Titan. But it was fast and tough. Accidentally drove off of a 4 foot ridge once going about 45mph through a field. buried the front end in the grass pretty good. Just ripped the nismo sticker off of my skidplate...thank god.

Hidden behind a nice thick mesh grill, I might add.
Thing is, around Australia, there are heaps of ricers who hack part of their front bumpers off, just so you can see more of their "fUllY s!cK yO!!" intercooler.
Among the worst offenders are:
- Honda Civics - Lancers with unpainted EVO 5 kits tacked on - Holden VL Turbos (a Commodore with a rice engine) - Nissan Skylines (don't ya see them everywhere??)
I want a shot of that GTO's engine bay, it may actually be making some serious torque there. Another thing: Anything made after 1978 isn't a muscle car...

And you, sir, are full of bull$hit. Not to mention that you're a teenager with a 350Z, your opinion is so unbiased. Muscle car? That was a standard Chevy truck against a highly modified supra. A couple of paychecks? George Bush needs two of his paychecks to pay for the modifications done to that Supra.

Now in all seriousness...TLC does have a point that has been stated to you on countless occasions. Stock, modern day "jap crap"/"rice" can blow the doors off "muscle cars" of the past, even putting aside the argument of what a "muscle car" truly is. When I can take a stock Impreza WRX, pit it against a, lets say stock 1967 Mustang or stock 1969 Camaro and crush it, why even bother arguing. Sure we can say "But like OMG, the 427ci, the 429ci, the 454ci motor...with that it would leave them in the dust0rz!!!"...but those were rare motors and, well, would defeat the arguement of stock vs. stock. Now if someone hands me a '69 camaro and a '05 WRX, drop 10 grand into each, the WRX will be the better vehicle. You cant argue that, its common logic. Peoples needs changed as did technology as time gave way to a 40 year progression. Sure, you can stereotype everyone with a Jap/Korean car as "ricer" or a classic American/Aussie muscle car owner as a "hick" or "bogan" or whatever...but that wont change the fact that yes, as much as you hate to admit it, some cars are easier to drive, tune, and race than others. Cars today have to be good at everything and great all around. Cars of the past just didnt need to have the high standards or refinement to meet the needs of the customer's in this generation of car buyers. Why do you think you see so many people using their "rice burners" as daily drivers rather than 1960s and 70s glory cars?
Your arguement is about as valid as saying a 1970s NFL Hall of Fame football player is just as good as a modern day Olympic Penta/Decathlon Champion. Sure, the football player was great, will always be remembered for that, and may still be a strong guy, but he will never amount to the pentathlete or decathlete.
BTW...about the only true thing your TLC insult was that he was a teenager and he owned a 350Z. I am pretty sure the guy picked the 350Z over a "muscle car" for a logical reason(one others and I have probably stated to you many many times). Besides, he doesnt live too far from me, and if his surrounding society is anything like mine, there are plenty of drag racing, NASCAR loving, muscle car owners that have influenced his choices of car admiration and ownership. Its not biased when its logical.
