Evo 8 DD (for now)

Just recently picked up a 2005 Evo 8 Electric Blue with the SSL package and BBS wheels. Car has just over 70k miles. The previous owner installed the following.
1. Turbo-back 3" stainless exhaust with a magnaflow muffler and aftermarket tip.
2. It has a MAF adapter and conical filter, feeding a stock turbo and turbo piping.
3. JDM 3-bar MAP sensor installed.
4. Whiteline 3 way adjustable rear sway bar.
5. Tephra Mod 7 software on stock ECU.
6. Motec PLM (professional lambda meter) with 5 wire wideband, wired for ECU data logging
Also has prosport premium oil temp, oil pressure, and boost gauges. There is an Apexi TT, but it works off and on. Owner didn’t mention it, but there is an Evo9 DV on it.
I plan on using this car as a daily driver for the next year or two, while taking it to the track occasionally.

Don't keep automotive batterys on their sides. The lead acid inside the battery will not be able to moves between the plates as easily, it is also more prone to leaking acid. Which will eat at the car.

LICP, Fuel Pump, and Mud Flaps installed. Roof rack is on its way, and I'll post new pics once I get that. Looks like I'm going to be getting a new clutch soon as the stock one probably isn't going to last much longer.
