Bought my first evo 8 :)

Hi folks,

My names marc I'm 21 and from scotland

New to the forum and new to evo ownership!

I shall cut to the chase, I had a astra vxr for a while decided to sell it to buy an evo, wanted one for many years, finally plucked up the courage to get one!

Anyway blah blah blah I would be grateful for some advice on mods, the evo has already...

Previous owners has had fitted...

- organic racing clutch
- short shift gearbox(dunno if this comes standard or not?)
-decat turbo back exhaust, upgraded manifold
- hks dump valve ect
- front strut.

Now advice on lowering it? I am keen to get it down lower but not to a stage where it starts to cause issues, driveshaft ect.

Also intersted in a set of xxr wheels in custom gunmetal grey

Any good remaps I would Benifit from

Thanks guys!


Old vxr

May have wanted to put this in the EvoM newbie / FAQ forum, but nonetheless, congrats on the car. Be careful of the mod bug. It bites... hard!

That is called a vortex generator, and yes it works, to some extent. Congrats!
