Connor Bruce saw his 1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution get built around eight years ago by some of the biggest names in Sydney's automotive scene. When he picked up the car for himself, he knew he wanted to preserve its iconic era of modification, so his modifications to the car would be carefully chosen.

FAVORITE MODIFICATION
"I’d have to say the trim, Brad from Excess did an amazing job and it still smells brand new all these years later
It’s a $25,000 trim and I can really see every cent in it. Having done a custom trim in my other build I know what goes into interior work that usually gets overlooked and it really is incredible."
FUTURE MODIFICATIONS
"I’m wanting to do more performance modifications, it still has a good amount of go to back up all the show it has but you can never have enough power."
