8EVO-2008-OB-EVO X GSR-The Beginning

Well it has begun. This is a first time with an EVO so input, criticism, and love is requested. So I have a 2008 GSR. Bought it during deployment from a guy on here. I purchased all of my mods from Sean @ DSG Performance, he has been an awesome help! He also has extremely hot sales woman and they make the entire experience so thrilling.

So here are the Mods that I have installed, or in the process of doing so right now.

AMS FMIC
AMS upper and lower Piping(went with polished, not sure if I like it)
ACT flywheel
Clutch Masters FX400 Clutch (4 Puck)
AMS Downpipe
AMS Master Clutch Cylinder
Whiteline front and rear sway bars (plus all the bushings)
Giro Disk rotors (2 piece front 1 piece rear)
AMS SS brake line kit
AMS Front Motor Mount
TWMS Short Shifter
Whiteline Camber Toe Arm
Whiteline 27mm Adjustable Front Sway Bar
Whiteline 27mm Adjustable Rear Sway Bar
(UPPER)Whiteline Rear Control Arm Upper Inner Bushing
Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing
Whiteline Roll Center Correction Assembly
Whiteline Heavy Duty Rear Link Kit
Whiteline Heavy Duty Front Link Kit
COBB Tuning AccessPORT
Ferodo DS2500 Front Brake Pads
Ferodo DS2500 Rear Brake Pads
HKS Iridium M-Series One Step Colder Spark Plugs M45XL
SSP underpanel
18x10.5 Work CR-Ultimate Wheels
Fortune Auto 510 Coilovers
Turbo XS Test Pipe
HKS Hi-Power catback Exhaust
Tial QR BOV
Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec 275/35/R18
Perrin 3 Port Boost Solenoid
IDC 1000cc Injectors
Hollywood Tune
I know I have more just can't think of what else...

Whats next,
I would like to go the e85 route, doing research once I get more serious about it, but any input would be helpful!


Problems I have run into:
Well my oil pan is leaking, so going to be taking that off, things I have seen to look for is making sure it isnt warped, etc. I have looked around in other spots to confirm and I cleaned everything up real nice to make sure its leaking from the oil pan.

So far everything has been going well for me, and hoping it continues to.

I really like them. I haven't had any issues either, they are stiff but can still drive it on the streets.

Well I installed some new coil overs...went with Fortune Auto 510s. I love them so far. Also installed IDC 1000cc injectors, and a perrin 3 port boost solenoid. Both very easy to do! And I finished my Hollywood Tune!
