Hi everyone!

I'm about to move to Singapore and buy an Evo 8. The guy who has it has done alot to it. What do you all think about it?

My knowledge lies in BMW's (we currently have a 330ci) so I am not too good at Evo's yet! Any help with regards to all these Jap mods are greatly appreciated!

carbon fibre exhaust guard HKS Kansai
ARC titanium exhaust manifold heat shield
Defi BF guages (boost, oil pressure, exhaust temp) and controller 2
Apexi turbo timer
ralliart gearknob
ralliart white meters
project mu silicon brake hoses
project mu slotted frt and back disc rotors
project mu 0-800 degrees racing brake pads
cusco carbon frt and back strut bars
Varis carbon bonnet and boot
Hks 272 cams,retainers,valve springs and spocket set
Fong Kim mod 3" cat back exhaust
HKS downpipe
apexi avcr boost controller
Hks oil thermostat
ralliart water thermostat
Hks Vpro 32bit
Hks GDMax twin plate clutch
carbing oil catch tank
Trust intercooler w/piping

Not bad. How much he asking? and how many miles?

 

that car should be REAL quick ~!!!!

 

those mods suck. Probably about to blow up motor.

lol.

 

Looks like he put a lot of $$$ into his car, some bling bling stuff but lots of nice useful things as well. I would say next step would be a new turbo and maybe internals.

 

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I'm concerned that he has done all these things to the car but kept the original turbo. I want to buy a reliable car, not one that will destroy itself!

Nesiop: I am not in the States.

 

dont worry about the stock units they are strong! there is a guy on here thatis using an EVO turbo (cant remember which one) that is bone stock and he has 26psi out of the thing all the time, and that while racing. there are loads of people here in the UK that are running stock (ish) turbos that are producing very nice numbers with no problems! only go for a bigger turbo if you are looking for more than 400bhp!

just my thoughts but there you go!

thanks Chris.

PS where abouts are you in the world?

 

Chunting - I'm in Sydney at the moment, but will be in Singapore in 2 weeks.

Currently thinking to go with another Evo 8 with less mods. I don't like the sound of a couple of the mods on this red evo - like the exhaust system.

Hmmmm.... decisions decisions!

Hi! I'm based in Singapore. The guy has done up quite a nice bit of mods on his Evo. If you are really looking into hardcore performance, the car should do very well. But there are a couple of stuff on the car, especially the exhaust which may land you into some trouble with the traffic police. Otherwise, it's pretty well modded by our standards!

 

i would say so
this guy spend thousands on suspension and brakes

everything else is just what everybody here got:
boost controller, exhaust, fuel regulator etc etc

 

Have you got a picture?
