Bought this 8 In October 2013 as a recondition/ restoration project here's some pictures when I first bought it.

If you look closely at the second picture you can see that it has 3g front calipers.
So first thing I did was find a full newer set of Brembo calipers off a 9 MR. Did that and it randomly stuttered one day during a WOT pull. So I checked the spark plugs and they were toasted. Took the car a month later into Massimo Power to get a late 60k service and a full car inspection. Finally got tired of the front bumper son I found this modified 9 front bumper for sale on Socalevo so I bought it paint matched it in Jan 2014
This is how she looks.

A couple months fly by and its March 2014 and I pay the price for having a blown suspension. So I got some Megan Track coil overs installed and set up by Massimo Power. Along with that had Evo 8 stocks swapped out for X enkeis wrapped with Federal 595rsr.
So this is pretty much the progress made since Oct. I am looking into getting more power out it in the near future currently at 331hp 320 tq on a dyno jet.

The bumper looks pretty cool as is. Always loved the red on a evo.
