Noob Honda guy here! EVO 9 MR

Hey there, i bought my evo9 MR SE from San Rafael Mitsubishi and i am pretty new here but ive learned a crap load about evos so far. I own a honda shop so all of this is pretty new to me. Well I was wondering if anyone knew the previous owner of my car? It came with full works suspension, works full TBE, works undercarriage plate, JDM Rear bumper, a sway bar and a K&N Drop in filter. Here are some pics of when i first got it.







Thats my evo next to my old tsx

Since then i have gotten the following
Exedy Twin Disc+All the fluids and shifter bushings and braided lines
Hawk pads
Open Dump O2 Housing From GST
BUSCHUR BFIC
BUSCHUR LICP
BUSCHUR UPICP
BUSCHUR Intake
Snow performance methonal injector
Tial Alpha Q Blow off valve
EBC
Electronic Cut out for downpipe
Mitsu window visors
Cosworth M2 Cams

I am hoping to make 500, that is pretty much my goal, I have a BBK on order but i think im going to sell that and try to get an FP Red. Well heres the only pic i have of it besides of when i first got it, i dont have current pics of it now even though the car is in the garage i am lazy.

Here you can kinda see the buschur fmic



Well i hope you guys enjoyed the pics and nice meeting u guys!
Coming from a guy who has many many hondas and have built a ton of full out drag cars i am loving my evo!

Looks great man. Congratz on the car.

You might miss the luxury of the TSX, but you'll love the performance of the Evo.

And I'm jealous of your JDM Rear, looks great on Tarmac Black.

More pics of the hatch (old pics)




85mm Benson sleeved block with cp pistons and pauter rods, 42r turbo system. Last tune was 668WHP on the old setup. The motor has sincce been refreshed and rebuilt hoping for more horsepower!


Exterior shot, dont mind the ugly fenders, they had to be cut on a CMI Track even with the 25.5 inch slicks, they were cutting into the fender.



On a side note i ordered a full Buschur piston and rod drop in set up. I am looking into getting a FP black. Is the FP Black worth it or should i aim with a 6262? I am hoping to make around 650whp.
