Hi everyone I was on a while back with a Evo 4, that I sold up to get another mr2 turbo,
But the draw of the Evo pulled me back,

So I went out and hunted for a Evo 8,
Enjoy......
And got this





After driving around for a couple day I noticed the alternator wasn't charging as it should, (11.2 volts)
So I replaced the alternator.... For the same problem to be happening, so I was stuck for ideas,...... And after hours looking at posts on many forums inc this one I found some areas to look and this is what I found

Ones of the pins bent on the back of the clocks,
And now the car charges as it should:)

A quick run down.... The car has gems ecu running anti lag and launch control,
De cat front and rear pipe,
Twin plate clutch, (a pain to get used to)
Tein super street coilover with edfc unit
Sas and egr removed
Evo 7 rear lights,

Regards rich
