Hi EvoM!

This is my 03 GSR Evo VIII from the Philippines. It's USDM spec and was imported years ago. I'm the 4th owner of this car and when I got it in 2021, the body needed a lot of work but the internals had a lot of mods already. Unfortunately, I had a minor mishap at the track that needed some bodywork done and so it was the right moment to start the restoration build. Everything got stripped down to bare chassis. Bolts got zinc-plated. Interior got refreshed. Engine & suspension got rebuilt. Basically nothing was untouched. Currently I'm running:

Newly-rebuilt 4G63T
Ultra Racing bars (fender bars, side lower bars, front lower bar, 4 point trunk bar, front frame brace)
Valve cover repainted to blue
Exhaust manifold (titanium) heat shield
Titanium cam sensor heat shield
ECM link aftermarket ECU
Spoolinup Coil Pack
Injector Dynamics 1050x
HKS 272 Cams
HKS Intercooler
Aeromotive 340 Fuel Pump
FP Red Journal Bearing
Tial external wastegate
Screamer Pipe
Tomei Expreme Ti exhaust
Comp Clutch Stage 3
Rebuilt Ohlins DFV Coilovers (Ohlins PCV on rear, Ohlins DFV on front; Ohlins DFV rear pair got damaged so I got CP9A Ohlins PCV as temporary replacement, it was a straight swap, still WTB Ohlins DFV rears for CT9A)
Energy Bushings
Stock Brembo Calipers
Dixcel Rotors and Dixcel Pads
Prodrive GC05F 18x8.5 +34
Pirelli P-Zero 255/35/18

Pending tune and still trying to perfect the fitment for now. I think I'm gonna go with some small spacers to fill up the wheel well more.

 

Super nice & clean. Any pics from under the engine hood? And even pics of the undercarriage when it was on the lift?

Maybe a before and after pic so this post fits well in the Projects board?

 

Sure, got a lot of photos from my restorer/builder. I'll just organize them before I post on here.
