Thought I may as well post up some build pics of my IX, have been a bit strapped for time as work has become a bit more of a priority, not too far from finished.
Car started life as a EVO IX GSR, was a nice base to start with, no accident damage. ![]() Car was then stripped to a bare shell and water blasted the same a Brendon's car so all seam sealer and sound deadener removed. ![]() All unnecessary brakets, seat rails etc removed ![]() Custom Cages T45 chromoly cage TIG'd in ![]() Car back on the rotisserie at the paint shop. ![]() Last edited by DJDINO; 13-07-2012 at 08:16 PM. |

I am not going to worry about b regging mine until the new rules come in. For the literally two or three times a year you drive it on the road it still costs you $600 / year. Also you have to pay stamp duty on the purchase price.
In the scheme of things it is not massive but still a cost. Brendon

Another EVO build on Perth-WRX. Not complaining!! Frequently tempting me to the dark side.
What's your reason for choosing the IX over another EVO model/year, Dino? Great looking job, by the way. And what a cage!

Alex, the IX's are now becoming good value, mine was $23k (unreg) with all the usual mod bits like Defi's, Teins, intake etc that I sold off.
The CT9A platform (EVO7-9) has now been around awhile so parts both OEM and aftermarket are plentiful, the CT9A is also pretty good performance wise. The purchase price is a small part (relatively) of the overall build though so in my opinion start with the latest and best you can afford as it costs the same to cage a GC8 as it does a current Spec C.

I do the RAC sprints and other local events so I need to drive to and from. Do agree though that full rego and stamp duty on a car that is allowed for limited use on the road is a piss take. Last edited by DJDINO; 14-07-2012 at 07:34 AM. |
