Hello,

My name is Alan and I just got my 04 Evo 8 about 2 weeks ago and love it. I have a lot of plans for it already and ordered a great deal of parts for it thus far and can't wait to start putting them on. Here is my Evo when I got it.



I haven't done much to it yet. I lowered it, put new rims and tires on it, and tinted the window. Here is what it looks like now. (Minus the window tint)



Anyways just wanted to stop by and say hi.

 

I like it, unique rims.

 

Thanks. I had to take them off the car for now cause they are rubbing in the rear. But having the fenders rolled on Friday so they should be coming back on soon.

 

Welcome and good luck with it.

 

So what are your plans for it?

 

You got yours from a honda dealer too? Haha funny me too! they gave me an awesome deal. Congrats on the car best car I have ever owned.

 

Actually it was a Chevy dealership.

 

Wanna be about 350 at the wheel with it. Have ordered an few things for it thus far. Really wanna focus a lot on a good suspension set up. Its got tein s tech spring on it right now. But planning on getting a good coilover kit for it around the first of the year.

 

Ooops quick glance didn't see it. I just saw the blue building haha.

 

350 to the wheels is a great starting point. If you're like most of us it IS just a starting point, contrary to previous plans! Welcome!

 

Lol true. I don't plan on going all out of this car for a while. It is my only car so I do need to keep reliability into the equation as well. One day I plan on going all out of it but that's gonna be a few years down the road.

So when I purchased the car it already had the following installed on it:

Thermal Catback
Testpipe (not sure of brand)
Downpipe (not sure of brand)
Open O2 Dump (not sure of brand)
ETS UICP
ETS FMIC
Walbro 255
HKS Super Mega Flow Intake
Rear Slotted Rotors (Not sure of brand)

The following is stuff I pulled out of my 1g Talon that I parted out to use on the Evo:

AEM Tru Time Cam Gears
AEM Tru Boost Electronic Boost Controller
Gates Racing Timing Belt
PTE 1000cc Injectors
Glowshift Sandwhich Plate Adapter
Glowshift Boost Gauge
Glowshift Oil Pressure Gauge

So here is an update on the car. I have purchase the following items for the Evo. I am waiting for some of the stuff to come in and others I am trying to get installed. Thus far here is what I have purchased
