What up everyone, just registered as a new member on here. My name is Jae. Ive Been building and painting cars for 12 years and finally decided to step into the Evo scene and buy my first Evo. I picked up a 1 owner 2005 Evo 8 Mr, with the 5 speed swap and a few bolt ons. Car originally came from Cali with 82k miles. I took a train 10 hours to Chicago to buy it an drove it 8 hrs back to NY. Best buy ever.
Ive built tons of Hondas an Acuras (B series and K series), Nissan 240s with sr20dets, Rb25/26's, Mazdaspeed3's, and a few 4g63 gst eclipses. I got tired of fwd/rwd and wanted to go AWD. What better way to do it than a Evo rite? Need help with your project or tech advice DM me. Follow me on IG @PunchlineJSwaps check out my builds.. and paint jobs

Stopped for gas in South Bend Indiana on the way home after buying it in Chicago.


Home in NY




Pulled the cover off to check the condition of the timing belt and found some AEM cam gears.
