New Evo 8 owner from N.Ireland

[SPek9]

Just a quick intro as I have only joined the site and purchased my first Evo.

I've been a Honda man for 10 years now owning various Type-Rs and I still own a Vti Civic track car. I do all of the work on my Hondas including gearbox rebuilds, fitting close ratio gearsets, timing belts etc and I have built my tack car from scratch. The evo is a completely different car but I've always wanted one so why not

I have already painted the front headlight internals and tided the front end my giving the intercooler a coat of VHT silver and painting the black mesh with black stonechip

I have all of the oils ready to change all fluids transmission and engine as soon as I get a chance

Plans for the car are:

-split and paint rear lights
- carbon or MR rear spoiler
- carbon front splitter
- carbon evolution viii lettering and front Mitsubishi badge (in the post)
- Carbon vortex generator
- carbon skirt extensions
- possibly paint wheels black to complete the look
Then after cosmetic modifications
- full downpipe, decat and 3" milltek
- uprated fuel pump
- k&n open cone (already recieved and fitted thanks to Ross Motorsport)
- remap

Here is now the car sits today

I got the rear lights done today, not easy trying to split them but Im happy with how they turned out in the end. Sealed them back up with windowbond and will get them fitted tomorrow

The spoiler was also really not my taste and its an evo 7 spoiler so ive taken that off and hopefully getting a full carbon or MR 8 spoiler to replace it with asap
