Drew Franzblau 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution IX MR TBGLIVE 2

When Drew Franzblau initially purchased the stock 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution IX MR, he didn’t plan on making too many modifications. That quickly changed, however, as Franzblau has built the Evo into his own. “Attention to detail was key to me.” Franzblau plans to continue his build with a Haltech digital dash display, a Bride Gias II Low Max passenger seat (to match the driver side) and a 600+ whp tune.
