Hi guys,
Just wanted share that after being an 'inactive' forum member for many years, I finally got myself an Evo8.
It's a full-blown rally car, purpose built from a 2003 UK road car, it is left hand drive however. I recently brought the car over form UK to rally it in US.
I'll share some pictures once the new graphix/sponsor branding (or lack there of) is done.
Cheers.

 

Congrats and enjoy the car!

 

wow congrats, have fun, be safe, and try not to do anything too crazy

Well, I was able to do our first outing with the car @ 100AW Rally last weekend in Missouri. We've set top 5 times and were placed 4th overall after starting the car 26th! Car seemed to be very fast out-of-the-box with the recent modifications we've had made (open class specifications).

And yes, I hit the rear of the car and lost some pieces in the rear the first night. 2nd day I went off again and damaged the front-end, resulting with a DNF. But very encouraging stage times for the rest of the rally-america season. I'm hopeful that we will be on the podium, sticking it to the Subaru team guys very soon

A few more pictures showing the car... there were some water passes

 

wow that looks fun. nice pics!

 

Welcome, loved your car and taking pictures of it at 100AW!!

 

And some on here worry about a little water going through the hood vent.

That shot is sweet, I wish I had another Evo to do something like that with. Well, that and a lot of money.

 

it has a evo9 front bumper?

 

I'm using a kevlar skid plate which also covers the bumper - the whole lip, but it's made for Evo IXs,; so I had to change the front bumper.
