My JDM Evo VIII

Whats up guys? A few of you may have seen my old Evo III when I made the thread a couple of years ago: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...99-my-evo.html.

Anyways, I sold the car back in 2009 in hope to get an Evo IX, just to find out I couldn't get insurance on an Evo again because our insurance companies were going on really strict. So I ended buying an 1997 JDM ITR and modding the **** out of it. I got tired of the Honda world and decided to part the car out to make some money because I saw an Evo VIII I wanted!

The part out lasted about 1 week and I was able to buy my Evo Here are some pics:













The car is super clean, I absolutely love it. I am never leaving the Evo world again!
A few plans I have over the next few months are:
MAPerformance 3" Downpipe o2 Eliminator (V-Band Re-circ option) + test pipe
Grimspeed 3 port boost controller
AEM Wideband
Clutch Kit (Haven't looked in to what type yet)
Re-Flash from 4WSTuning (Not many tuning options available in the Cayman Islands so what 4WS does is great for me)

The car currently has a 3" catback exhaust, HKS filter, Forge Type RS Blow Off (Re-circ) and Tein Lowering Springs.

Anyways, let me know what you guys think! I'm looking to build a bad *** stock turbo Evo

Thanks, what I really want to do is get rid of that shiny mesh behind the bumper.

see if you can rattle-can the mesh a flat black, I'm sure it'll look better this way. otherwise very nice, mind putting up some more pic's of the recaros.

Thanks, I'll give that a try the same time I re-clear the rear spoiler!

I'll take more pics of the Recaros later today

There is a Kansai add on lip for the bumper that makes a pretty huge difference in the look. I love that bumper. I would paint the mesh, get the lip + there is an oil cooler for it and roll that thing.

Nice pick up!!
