Proud Owner of 2005 EVO8 MR

Just picked up yesterday...silver MR 05, stock except Progress 25 mm adjustable rear sway bar and espilar GT springs. Had 5753 miles, now has 6847 miles after driving back to Atlanta from Oklahoma. She looks brand new and drives like a dream. And very quiet I must say !!!!

Not planning on tracking her, just want to enjoy a really good handling car.

New GA Plate applied for "WRC LVR"

Awesome find. If I could ave found an 05 MR locally I would have bought it, but my 06 GG MR will have to do. I am sure your enjoying it.
Does you are have any issues with those lowering springs. I have heard a few issues with them causing the bilstiens to leak.

Definitely not planning on exhaust but will reflash to gain a little bit of torque and hp midband ( 2-6K )

Not having any probs with leaking on struts... Unless the springs overpowered the struts, they shouldn't leak. Nothing on the main boards about that...but plenty on how the struts can handle very high spring rates.

25mm rear bar = total neutral + right foot fun :-)

Wil post pics as soon as i figure out how on this forum
