Hi all, i`m new in the forum, i just bought a 2004 EVO 8 RS, finally my dream came true, my first car was a 98 Lancer 1.6, i love my car but i always dream to have an EVO now i can believe it i have it in my garage .
My EVO RS have 19k miles all stock, now i want to start to upgrade but don`t know where to begin, i want to start with the intake, turbo timer, blow off valve and the muffle. There is a lot of brands and i don`t know which ones worth it.
Can someone give me some advice how to begin.

By the way does someone knows where can i find the OEM rear fiber carbon spoiler?

Thanx

 

enjoy the car while that "I can't believe it's in my garage" feeling lasts.

 

Congrats on the new car.

Start with a drop in filter, mbc, boost gauge, then a 3" tbe

If you must have a new bov find a stock IX dv and use that.

If you just want to hear it get a cone filter instead of the stock air box.

Then get it tuned and enjoy.

PM me if you have anymore questions.

 

what color is your car, I'm looking to go wingless... im in NJ

 

if your car is silver, i will trade you the trunk with the wing in it for the wingless trunk

 

I felt the same exact way when I got mine. I came from a lancer as well when I got my evo. Good luck with your upgrades!

 

Thnx guy for the replies, i enjoy driving the car everyday, the power is there when I need it, is my dream car. I have a question, what is the method to quick shifting gear because when i change 1 gear to 2nd, if i do it fast the car hit hard and i`m afraid to damage the differentials speacially the rear differential.
Some advice to quick shift gears?

Thnx

 

just keep practicing, you will get it down

 

1. intake/exhaust...try to get both
2. boost gauge
3. fuel pump
4. MBC
5. TUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hello everyone,
My Name is Mo i own an evo 9 ofcourse it was my dream to have it anyway i am happy to share some experience on the forum.. i have jsut installed a Ti exhaust from AP- sounds great.

i bought an o2 housing but not yet sure if it fits my car.. okay now does the invida o2 housing fits an evo 9 without any other hardware installation? i have seen some instructions but yet not too sure..

do i have to get a new 3" downpipe? does it fit the stock downpipe?

sorry too many questions

Thanks alot ,
Mo

 

you can only go up from here

 

sorry what do you mean?

 

Enjoy!

 

i would say get an intake and exhaust first then work on the others

 

That hard hit you are hearing is called diff-slap, I hear it in the 1/4 when I run from 1-2, 2-3. You might want to slow them down a little more to be sure. Also I would change out all your driveline fluids and tranny asap! You never know if they were done by the previous owner.

Diaqueen! In the TC & Rear Diff, and I prefer Redline MT-90 in my 5sp. Good luck with it
