Thanks, it was too hard to pass up. After a clay bar, carnuba wax and some TLC it looks like it does.

It already has a Works p2r flash, TBE, and intake. I think I will upgrade to a MR BOV, maybe some adjustable rear endlinks, and lower intercooler pipe.

Very clean look! I'm planning to put a stock clutch on my Evo 8 next week.

Thats my plan too. I would like to do the clutch but $$$ is the issue now. And the one in it is holding up just fine so far.

It is super clean, I clay bared it then carnuba wax. It turned out pretty good. It is a DD so it isn't perfect.

No plans as of now. I just have to learn how to drive it to its limits. And I picked it up for 15k, with all documentation from 5700 mile till now.

Looks great! Also if not done already I would look at replacing the timing belt.

Next on the list I figure I have another few thousand miles to wait. Then I'll do the 60k mile service on it. It was driven pretty easy for its life so I am not overly concerned with the maintenance. All of the previous services were done at Mitsubishi at 6,000 and 25,000.

Screwing around today and I almost crapped my pants...... The coupler on the TB blew off while boosting, damn its loud. Stuck it back on and cruised home. I am on my way to get t-bolt clamps.

Then I ordered some dash lights because the right side of the cluster is out, It is damn near impossible to get them as far as I know. I was forced to go to the dealer. I got three of them, so I hope that's enough.

Then next on the list is doing the plugs. What is recommended for good plugs with a tuned Evo? Thanks
