Reveers 05-23-2008, 09:57 PM sir, that is some mad hot car!
ouano 05-23-2008, 10:11 PM oh my...
Awesome work. Love it.
Can you take closer pics of the front grill and the spoiler? Also any advice on removing the grill and fog lights? I'm thinking about doing that myself.
sexktten 05-23-2008, 10:14 PM sir, that is some mad hot car!
I am no sir!! This car is representing the ladies :rock:

Robevo 05-23-2008, 11:30 PM when you guys coming out the 2 piece set of rotors /sloted/ and the rear ones?
the car is nice !
kakasensei 05-24-2008, 04:50 AM is it juss me or does the sideview look like a acura tl btw nice car black is sexy
Jackygor 05-24-2008, 04:52 AM Best wingless evo x. Very nicely done
DVDee 05-24-2008, 05:15 AM Is it hard to remove the front emblem? Looking at mine closely it looks like it's part of the black plastic on the front bumper.
Shapdog 05-24-2008, 05:21 AM that's the cleanest pb i've ever seen!
paint the oil cooler black
B1GHAM 05-24-2008, 02:25 PM Thats an awesome PB Evo X... Love the Lip spoiler too - adds to a clean look. If you do use the graphics design though, keep it PB and use white... I think that would like 40x better
Is it hard to remove the front emblem? Looking at mine closely it looks like it's part of the black plastic on the front bumper.
Its taped to the black surround using double-sided tape. You have to use something tiny to get behind the emblem (we used a small pick on Dino's) and loosen the tape. Then you just add more tape to reapply.
I wouldnt recommend a heat gun as the plastic emblem is a little soft. Maybe getting in some kind of adhesive remover thats not harmful to plastic would help, but we didnt need any.
SpicyMchaggis 05-24-2008, 03:28 PM wow, that is sick.
Kooldino 05-24-2008, 04:04 PM I like the wing.
SpicyMchaggis 05-24-2008, 07:26 PM that's the cleanest pb i've ever seen!
paint the oil cooler black
I think the car is actually dark green.
sexktten 05-24-2008, 07:51 PM The car is dark olive/gold. Almost all of the piping in the engine bay will be coated very soon. I am sure this is going to be a dumb question, but what is pb?
I believe girodisc is supposed to be test fitting the 2pc rotors on my car next week, so hopefully they will be released very soon. They also made a bracket to fit the evo 8 rear pads on the X, which is also supposed to be test fitted on my car next week. As far as I know they will not have 1pc rotors for awhile.
ouano 05-24-2008, 08:02 PM pb = phantom black
dcasandman 05-24-2008, 09:37 PM Loving the wingless and badgeless look. Definitely one of the best looking EVOs ive seen to this point. Hoping to have mine badgeless with a lip spoiler also. Let us know how u like all the ETS stuff they are in my final 3 choices of who to go with for mods.
Nooka King 05-24-2008, 09:59 PM girls can represent.........this is a girl car huh, well i guess i like girly cars :thumbup:
Damit i cant see it, stupid work computers, why do they do this to me AARRRGGHHH

The ETS stuff is really great! The install was very easy and straight forward. The ETS guys are super responsive; they kept me updated on the shipment and delays (the test pipe was delayed). The exhaust sounds amazing. I am really happy with the whole package, and ETS's overall service. We have had alot of problems recently with shops, so ETS was a great change of pace!!
I am going to be posting installation pics soon, along with a step by step write up. Hopefully that will be done this week, it just depends when I have the time to get it done.
sexktten 05-25-2008, 01:46 AM pb = phantom black
Oh I see. Ya sorry guys the car is not PB, its olive green. I always wanted a black car and my fiance kept saying "you dont want it. it will scratch easy and you will see everything" Well I didnt listen to him until i painted my nails black and saw all of the tiny unreasonable scratchs ;)

olive green, did you get the car repainted? Because as far as I know, Mitsubishi doesn't offer this colour.

on2it 05-26-2008, 02:15 AM BTW.. any dyno runs yet? WHP?
sexktten 05-27-2008, 03:29 PM No dyno runs yet, we are still waiting on two parts :( Once those parts finally come in we plan on doing some runs at PIA
EVOLUTIONARY 05-27-2008, 04:12 PM is it juss me or does the sideview look like a acura tl btw nice car black is sexy
That's what I was thinking. Looks pretty damn good still. :rock:

B1GHAM 05-28-2008, 09:22 PM I like the green - its very subtle.
IF it was as green as the sketches you posted I dont think Id like it...
Its funny that I couldnt see it at ALL on these work monitors in the original pictures.
on2it 05-29-2008, 06:07 AM so nice!
EVOLUTIONARY 05-29-2008, 01:57 PM What a beaut! Now where are the pictures of the owner?
Giro Disc 06-02-2008, 07:43 PM Hey all. Pics of our new prototype EVO X 2pc directional vane slotted rotors. And a little shot of the painted trim and custom sub box we made last week. Well have better pics tonight when we upload the pics from the show.
Enjoy!

ouano 06-02-2008, 08:03 PM Looks good. Lookin forward to more pics of that trim!
dcasandman 06-02-2008, 08:16 PM Please do something with doors. Pioneer the way for those of us scared to do so first lol. Love this car. Not a big green fan, but I would definitely not mind having that one.
Giro Disc 06-02-2008, 08:45 PM what do you want us to do with the doors? I am working on some speacker adaptors for aftermarket speakers to fit into the doors.
Girodisc
KDiggityDog76 06-02-2008, 09:02 PM So do you notice any extra underhood heat soak using that air intake, and metal piping setup? How did it change the sound? I mean is the sound of the BOV and the intake suck in general a lot more noticeable?
Giro Disc 06-02-2008, 09:12 PM It defenetly more noticable. As far as heat, right after a drive the pipes are cold to the touch but after idleing in place you can feel the heat. We have the engine cover off too so you fell a bit moer heat from that aswell. The exhuast is very clean, it sounds nothing like the EVO 8/9. No drone on the freeway and even with all the parts its still a very comfortible car to drive. We need to do a couple movies but we are wating for the test pipe and 23psi to do them.
Girodisc
Robevo 06-02-2008, 10:39 PM how heavy they are compare to the factory? Also you will paint them to match the brembos?
I love they way they look though!
Nice job!
sadly my Mu's wont fit in the X. :( so i'm looking for a new set up. I hope you guys will put them on the market soon :)
Giro Disc 06-02-2008, 11:18 PM They are 4.5lbs lighter then stock per rotor. We haven't got the rear assembled yet so we'll have those weights very soon. These rotors are going to see some track time and after they are beaten up a bit will have a look at them and as long as we don't have to make any alterations, the first order will be place to stock and sell. The rotor hat is totally naked aluminum but we will be offering custom anodizing in a wide array of colors shortly after they are released.
Johann @ Girodisc
Robevo 06-02-2008, 11:35 PM thanks , i'm looking forward possibly to get one of those. front and rear. :)
i'm sure i need the brembo color match or black. I would like to keep the white -red - black scheme on my car :)
Giro Disc 06-03-2008, 04:02 PM Well as soon as our EVO X prototypes are approved for sale to the public, we will get a vendor membership and contact you. We will have pics of the rear very soon. They are just being finished up now.
Johann @ Girodisc.

Girodisc
Ive been trying to come up with ideas for all the doors myself. I was thinking about having all the plastic ugly part done in a black leather, and the cloth part done in a grey color to match the GG exterior with a nice red baseball stitch at the seams, and do the samre to the seats. Im looking for ideas though.
mr.clark707 06-05-2008, 07:33 AM awesome.
When are we going to see that sick Green Paint job?
Really looking forward to the graphics.
dcasandman 11-04-2008, 07:00 PM Yay Im ready for some updated Pics.
Giro Disc 11-04-2008, 07:45 PM Car is already green. The graphics we have not done yet. We will have some new pics soon of the production 2pc rotors, lines, test pipe, the other trunk w/ EVO 9 wing.
Gators2001 11-04-2008, 08:35 PM Sweet idea!
Giro Disc 03-12-2009, 04:09 PM Hey, its been a while. Car got some nice time in the snow, rain, and crap from this winter and now its getting close to track season so its time for some more HP. We got the new ETS DP with external dump and an Accessport and its going in for some dyno tuning on the 22nd. We be updating with pics and numbers shortly after.
CanadaEh! 03-12-2009, 04:21 PM What rear spoiler is that ?

JNZTuning 04-21-2009, 02:46 PM I actually really dig that vinyl design.
bradze 06-14-2009, 05:35 AM i spy steve & mike from PIA, glad im not the only one with an evo x who goes there. i noticed the removed rear reflectors and cut away pieces by the plate, was it a lot of work?
boostin20 06-14-2009, 02:47 PM Its a custom hand made all metal spoiler welded and molted to a stock trunk.
I'm going to start on mine july 4th weekend. I'm thinking about using 16gauge. What gauge did you use for the spoiler?
Kooldino 06-14-2009, 03:15 PM I still want that trunk!
Giro Disc 06-15-2009, 03:18 PM The rear reflectors have a couple little mounting tabs in the recess behind them. Just cut them off so its a hole and your done. We used 1/4" round stock, 2 pieces for the top and bottom edge and then used thin sheet metal to make the shape. We wanted to over build it because of all the slamming and vibrating the trunk gets from opening and closing it as well as from driving and the vibration from the sub.
Yeah Mike and Steve do a great job. Tim bailey also tuned the Cobb tuning EVO X the same day he tuned ours.

I didn't think of using round stock for the edge. That's a great idea.
