newbie w/ evo VIII

mine's probably nothing close to anyone else's out here since it's stock...my future plans would be adding on a tbe, a decent intake, a tune, and some rims...but that's gonna be a while. thanks!


w/ my 00 civic si b20/vtec




not much going on with the pics..i'm so excited with it. too bad i gotta wait and save up before starting to buy the mods i want...but for now i'm happy with it.

Don't worry about leaving it stock for a while. I bought mine new in July of '04 and all I've got is what's in my sig, so basically stock and I still love it. I drive mine 60+ miles a day and getting ready to turn 50K miles on it. Loving it everytime I drive it even though it's stock.

Get to know the car 1st before you start modding it. I have honestly never driven a stock evo. The 1st one i drove had 400hp. Mine came with a TBE and boost controller. I know thats basically stock, but from what i hear a TBE along with a MBC and tune make a huge difference! Car looks great though! Congrats and take care of it!

The EK next to the evo doesn't look bad either.

I agree. Use the same clean JDM theme when modding your EVO cosmetically.

yep..i did, i see this evo a lot coz the previous owner has it parked by matlock near the race track gas station...then one day i passed by it and there was a red evo IX mr parked instead of the usual red evo 8, so i figured he traded it in for the mr. i got to talk to him once and he was pretty cool...he said the car doesn't have any problems at all and don herring installed a new tranny with a 5 yr/60k warranty on it. hopefully that's something good for me...

yep...the tail lights are painted over black and only have a section of it (the parking, brakes, signal, and reversve) that aren't painted over...atleast i think it's black paint or maybe some sort of very adhesive black sticker. it's not my style but i can't really do anything coz i noticed that a set of evo VII tail lights will burn a hole $380 deep in my pockets. lol! but i am planning on getting some evo VII tail lights.
