What a lovely car, I have always thought Macau was a great colour.

That really is one of the best Evo2's I've seen.

Jon, what size are your rear wheels? Are they 8" or 9" wide 16's?

What size tyres are you running on them?

Gorgeous car, you're a very lucky man.

Cheers Jon.

I've just got myself some 9" wide 16's and the previous owner stretched 205's on them. Yours look just about right so I think I'll go with 245's on the rear of mine with a 40 or 45 profile.

Those wheels sook so right on your car, very tasty.

Yep. Agree with all the above comments. It looks a liitle high though mate. Save up and get some lovely coil-overs then you can slam her. They can always come off you you ever want to sell her and just stick the original springs back on. That blue is lovely. They had a convertible Evo 1 that colour and grey leather in one of the local garages and i use to take a detour everytime i was out, just so i could go look at her. Well done dude :wink:

I'm totally in love with this car, its pretty much perfection as far as I'm concerned - I'd rather have it than a sport evo I like it that much
Please leave it as it is and avoid 'slamming' it or smoked rears!
Cheers,
Robin
