RR Evo 8 Recondition
 

Bought this 8 In October 2013 as a recondition/ restoration project here's some pictures when I first bought it.

If you look closely at the second picture you can see that it has 3g front calipers.
So first thing I did was find a full newer set of Brembo calipers off a 9 MR. Did that and it randomly stuttered one day during a WOT pull. So I checked the spark plugs and they were toasted. Took the car a month later into Massimo Power to get a late 60k service and a full car inspection. Finally got tired of the front bumper son I found this modified 9 front bumper for sale on Socalevo so I bought it paint matched it in Jan 2014

A couple months fly by and its March 2014 and I pay the price for having a blown suspension. So I got some Megan Track coil overs installed and set up by Massimo Power. Along with that had Evo 8 stocks swapped out for X enkeis wrapped with Federal 595rsr.http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/...psts3bqdvt.jpghttp://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/...psnkq6otkl.jpg
So this is pretty much the progress made since Oct. I am looking into getting more power out it in the near future currently at 331hp 320 tq on a dyno jet.

Nice work man.

just noticed that bumper looks kind of weird...did you cut it to make the intercooler opening bigger?

looks good man

Awesome!

Huge difference!

Yes it was. I personally like it.

I like the bumper. Looks good. Love the color.

The bumper looks pretty cool as is. Always loved the red on a evo.
