Evo VIII from Mexico

Hello I am the very happy owner fo an EVO VIII MR

In advance please apologize my english, I will try to explain myself.

The car is with me from the last month, for some circumstances I got the chance to buy the car from a very good mechanic, only with 25k miles and in very good condition, looks like new.

I live in Mexico City, and I also have a Ford Focus ST225 with some mods.

For this awesome car I am planning to make some mods, but I will need all the help and wisdom in this community.

The mods are:

Perrin Intercooler
AMS exhaust
Performance friction rotors
Hawk HPS brake pads
Tein Mono Flex coilovers
Braid Wheels and just the last month I bought the stock enkeis.
Evoscan GPS, ECU running stock maps, I am reading all as possible to know how to do with ecuflash and evoscan ( I accept sugestions and advices)

The car



With a friend's car.





Installing the coilovers



New wheels



And new tires





And now.....



Thanks to all the community and I hope to learn from all of you and keep my EVO as good as possible.

Thank you for the comments and welcome, No I do not have wheel spacers, I have been thinking in 20mm per whell, But I have mounted wide tires, so I think it might damage the tires with the fender.

The spacers really change the car's look.

Muchas gracias por los comentarios y Bienvenida, efectivamente estoy pensando en ponerle pelicula obscura a los cristales, pero como estan las cosas por aca no es muy recomendable que sea muy obscura. Y aun tengo poco tiempo con el, no me gusta el 1/4 soy mas de pista.

La defensa fue cambiada por el dueño anterior, afortunadamente tengo los enkei y los braid para jugar un poco entre ellos y variar. Gracias por las palabras.

The rear bumper was changed by the previous owner, I have the two sets of wheels, enkei's and braid's to choose and change the look.

Bienvenido Amigo. Mucho gusto mirar un Evo en Mexico. No que no puede ver pero muy raro que alguien pueda tener uno en Mexico. Mi hermana estaba casi un mez en Durango y me dijo que miro un Mitsubishi Dealer en Mexico como muy surprendida. Pero todos sabemos que en Mexico tambien hay mucho negocios de differentes pais. Que chido esta tu carro y pues devirtete en el y cuidalo mucho porque no todos son muy fortunantes de tener un Evo.

I don't know if I said that word right, but i was trying to say not everyone in Mexico is Fortunate to have such a badass car like yours. Don't worry about your English to me it sounds just correct with proper sentences, and grammar.

Keep up the good work

I only have seen once another VIII, a few IX's but it is a really exotic car for the country. Always when I use the car in the streets someone takes a photo with the cell phone. I feel like driving a more expensive supercar.

Thank's for the great words, I am really proud to own my car and be a little part of this master comunity.
