New to the Evo World
New to the Evo World
Hello guys,
I'm Mike and I'm new to the Evo world. But I'm a old timer to the DSM world. I recently bought a 05 Evo8 MR. I got a great deal on it. All stock except a few little things such as the Injen hard intercooler pipe kit, a GReddy BOV , exhaust system from the turbo back and a HKS turbo timer. The body is in perfect condition and the interior is perfect as well. It had 72k on the clock and snagged it up for 18k. I feel like I got a good deal.
My plans are to see if I can get it faster than my GSX.
Here are some pics.

Mike, it's a gun-metal 8MR, it is already is faster than your DSX mate :P
Nice purchase and what a price. With those mods it may already have a tune. Doesn't take much to make these things faster than what they are. Good start is handling. No point having power if you can't use it.
You'll have a ball either way

That's a good deal, nicely done. And, welcome to Evo M. If you want to make it fast, there are tons of threads in the Evo VIII/IX sections that will help. Tons of how-tos, dynos threads, build threads, etc, etc, to help give you ideas and inspiration. Take a look.

Ohh...ahhh...Sexy manifold and Brand new turbo on that DSM too! Where will you feed the turbo oil from?
Funny I have been playing with my DSM more and the Evo is somewhat neglected in the garage. :} Mine's heavy though, since it's a convertible and all the accessories.

Man that DSM is so clean! Now go put more hoses and wires on it!
Welcome dude. I just picked up a Evo IX my self. Bought it off a older gentleman who was the only owner and it only has 40,000 miles on it. Check her out.
