Hello,

Just recently got my EVO IX.
It's a 2008 registration, so one of the last IX's made if my information is correct.

It's a EUDM one, since I live over there... so I haven't got a clue what model that would be.

It has the billsteins, bbs wheels, large wing, alumium roof, 6spd. gearbox and 280bhp engine. Don't have a clue what model that would make, some MR/GSR mix I suppose...

It's near stock, only has a JDM BOV, walbro fuelpump and some licp, don't ask me which one, I don't know.
I also got a TBE Milltek with it but it's not installed right now.

It was mapped with ecutek before, supposedly around 350BHP, but I had that one removed as I wanted the car near stock...



Plans for the car?
Can't say yet...

Not planning on cosmetical mods, except for a VG, already ordered and delivered by the way. (bayson R - ebay)

Maybe some wheels for putting winter tyres on. The BBS would remain summer wheels.
Maybe some swift spec R's to level the space between the wheel arches.


Ordered some stoptech street pads. Haven't got a clue on how they will perform. If they are not good, DS2500 or 'alike' will be placed, had those on my civic type R before and they were amazing.

Ordered steel braided lines and ATE super blue.
And finally, ordered some magnetic drain plugs.


As for power, the car will remain this way for now. But eventually, when I get used to her, the TBE will be placed again along with a remap...
Still looking into the options here and the girlfriend will kill me if I start modding this one right now.

Ow, and I have a cosworth panel filter and airbox mod. Got those for free via via, so why not...

 

Ow, Ive been looking for some solution to the following problem by the way.

My girlfriend isn't really tall and has to sit pretty close to the steering wheel. This makes her touch her left leg against the dash underneath the steering wheel.

Now, the clutch has a deadzone in the back, so a clutchstop might help I think. In that case, she won't have to reach that far under the dash. But I know there exist some lowering brackets for the seat, would those help?

Here's the actual problem:
