This is a classic example of someone who has gone out to the main dealer and bought a decent brand new car, for most people that would enough but for Chris Torres, that would simply not do and the car just had to stripped back to the basics and started over again from scratch.
There is not many people who have actually go out and done that, that is probably because most people wouldn’t have the balls to a brand new and strip it back, let alone have the foresight to create something as perfect as this 2008 Mitsubishi Seibon EVO X.
Being a member of evosocal.net, the enthusiast’s site where if you mentioned what you were doing with a brand new EVO. Then you are bound to attract some attention for yourself, this can be both good and bad, depending on which way you look at it.
Finally the car is up and running. It looks good and so it should really.
