The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was always a dream car for Antonio Gonzalez. So it was no surprise to him when he purchased his 2008 Evo X down the road. Prior to owning the Evo X, Gonzalez modified his Honda Civic.
Immediately after getting ownership of the Evo X he fell in love with it. "It's so different than driving the Civic I used to have," stage Gonzalez. "The handling and power was so great but I need more." Instantly, he started modifying it.
"I started with the blow-off valve and then to the exhaust," remembers Gonzalez, "now, I have a bigger turbo!" It was a lot of late nights in the shop for Gonzalez and his Evo X, and he appreciates the help and support from his girlfriend.
"I'm not done yet. There's always more to do."
