hey guys, this is a new thread for all my progress, the old thread got jacked up so I need to make a new one.
The car started out life as a stock (ish) evolution VIII with bolt ons, turbo upgrade, and E85... So i had a good platform to jump into track with.

I had done a few track events with the car on the setup it was on (400whp, KW V3, stock bushings, etc) List of modifications Updated Aug 17, 2015.
