Reaching for 350,000 miles in #grandpaevo

He guys, just wanted to let you know I have 346,000 miles on my evo 8.

Should be hitting 350,000 within the next month.......

Just changed out the right front wheel bearing last week.
Mostly service stuff.
Still on ACT clutch from 209k when I rebuilt the engine also.

Most of the pictures are on Instagram.

I dipped it Bluegill chameleon just to change it up...

Wow what an achievement. Does the heat from the exhaust affect the plasti-dip on the rear bumper?

That is awesome. Truly awesome. I haven't seen the dip yet on Instagram. I'll have to check it out.

Are you still posting in your old thread, or will this replace it?
