My Evo 8 build. The Black Mamba
So a few updates... my photobucket isnt working at all the page keeps turning white every time i go to it... So before i post anymore pics i have to find another solution on how to post pics on EvoM 
but heres whats going on with the Mamba...
I hit 900 miles today, just did my oil change and getting ready to put her on the Dyno tomorrow
. I'm still debating on what to buy next... Wheels.. probably RPF1s or a FP black... im still undecided!

found a way to get some pics back up! 
Heres a couple pics of the car... I bought a Harness bar, Hella supertones and also bought an Aluminum strutbar from Travis at GSC
A couple things that are next for me... Repaint the harness bar, not sure what color yet.. Im still debating on what color to repaint my Brembos and my Hella Suprtones.. Put my STM coolant tank and PS reservoir in. I also have the A/C locking problem from the 03 evos so i have to fix that and buy a new HVAC unit and put a new heater core in. I should be getting tuned tomorrow after that im going to put 3in straight pipe to my HKS burntip exhaust. Than save up for either wheels or a Turbo
I polished the strut bar when i got it the circle part that goes around the strut tower is what i polished in this pic the rest of it is how it came.

i got my car tuned today. Basically street tuned. The car feels great!! and is running really good Butttt..when it went on the dyno, they seen that the oil pressure gauge dont read more than 45...? im hopeing it has to do with the gauge or sensor but on Monday the oil pan will come off so we can check to make sure the bearings and stuff are ok. "just to make sure" and to check if the gauge is hooked up right. ON THE FLIP SIDE... since we didnt get to finish the tune on the Dyno i bought a Evo 9 turbo and plan on putting it on tomorrow! So im hoping to break 400+ next week!
Alright guys/girls... so, i really wanted JDM headlights but after this build i didnt really have much money to shell out :/. so until i have the extra money to spend this is what i did. When i bought my car the previous owner blacked them out and did a horrible job, I'm sure you'd be able to tell in the pictures, so what i did was i bought a pair of new headlights for a great deal (NON- HID), and did the JDM look to them, "Flat Black", with a Red projector. i think they came out pretty damn good honestly , Oh also got an early Bday present lol "EVO VIII clock"

A couple more pics! I put the STM power steering reservoir and coolant tank on. Also put the evo IX turbo on yesterday. Tomorrow taking the oil pan off to make sure everything is looking good inside and then get the tune with the 9 turbo on! I cant wait!!! 
Pic that a buddy of mine Ravi from V2lab took.
Difference between turbos, hopefully i can see a big difference in power

So my friends at Kings took the oil pan off and seen that the bearings are showing wear!!! So somewhere it is losing oil pressure!!! -__-. The engine will come out and be pulled apart again to figure out what caused the problem. So the Mamba is back down again but hopefully not for long.
