Great deal on a killer car! Just not my type of look.
Ricer means something different to everyone. To me specifically it means that the car has grocery cart wing(s), a high reving (buzzy bee sound), and a body kit (usually gaudy) that's over the top.
I love the performance of the Evo's and the Subbies but would never buy one for myself because of that stuff. IMO it's hard to be taken serious (even if its kickarse) when that stuff is just plain distracting.
Think Stone Cold Steve Austin with a pink tutu, ballet shoes, and the voice of Urkel. Sure he'll kick your **** with a single pinky but you'd be laughing the entire time.

Just an update on the car, it only made 350WHP on e85 because of a boost leak that was holding it back so i'll probably just stick with that power level for awhile and re tune it in the spring and see what it makes then.

I'd fix the leak and then tune appropriately.
I will never understand people who refuse to step outside their bubble.
It's almost like some people need an american V8 to stroke their ego....or maybe help compensate for something....?
Imports aren't rice...rice is rice and the sooner ignorant people can finally figure this out, the better.
I love the white Evo... I myself prefer wingless but I'm not going to judge.
I know you'll have a great time with the car and don't forget to keep the non haters up to date.
