I have been in the DSM world for some time now, recently picked up an 05 Evo 8 with 95k on the clock. Since buying the car I have completely gone through it as I did find some sketchy work done by the previous owner.


I did the usual dsm/evo tune up constisting of oil, tc, rear end and tranny fluid change and new ngk's. Also removed the factory wing.


Mods List, so far.
3" Megan Racing Turboback, no cat
Evo 9 BOV
AEM TruBoost
AEM Uego
Walbro 255
K&N, removed factory box
Removed EGR and Emissions
Evoscan and Ecuflash
JDM MAP and a Catch Can soon to be installed


Looking to do cams, hg, arp's and timing belt job before the summer is over.



Have a dyno tune sheduled at DynoTech Tuning this week, cant wait!

I would also like to add how great DynoTech has been thus far. I have made a few parts purchases there so far and they have been very helpful. It is great to be able to buy these parts from a reputable local dealer, rather than having to order off line and wait for shipping.

 

Congrats on the new ride.

Enjoy!

 

Looks good.

 

Thanks guys,

I am still trying to track down a rear end clunking issue that is driving me crazy. Last weekend I installed the Energy Suspension rear diff bushing kit which did not stop the clunk at all, if anything I feel like it clunks more often now. Maybe from the stress I put on some of the control arms and such when dropping the rear sub frame? I also feel like its coming more from the back right side now, which would point me away from the differential/mustache bar bushings. I did recently move to a house with no garage, so doing this job with no air tools, no garage and limited hand tools was lets say "fun." Thank god for my giant breaker bar pipe! I have a family members shop doing a 4 wheel alignment for me tomorrow and said he would allow me to throw it on a lift to poke around.. Hopefully I find the culprit then! I did my fair share of searching on here and on google alone, but from what I have seen the bushing kit I installed will usually fix the issues.
