New evo 8 owner

[Aaron Collins]

Hi, my names Aaron, I've just bought my first ever evo .... An evo 8 FQ 300, upgraded to 330 by Mitsubishi when new, so thought I'd join this owners group for some advice and guidance...

I've bought the evo 8, it currently is running 384bhp, and the work was done by evo tune?

So far the first things on the list are coilovers, or springs... (Pending on price... I've got my eyes set on some bc racing coilovers, or tein springs)

Just bought a tubular manifold,

I'm poly bushing the engine mounts, as it's got some engine slap...

And I'm looking to get wheels, prob rota grids? What are people running? Size, width, tyre brand, spacers?

What bhp starts to put stress on gearbox and internals, before you need to start thinking about forging or clutch (think my clutch is updated anyway but need to check the history)

Thanks

Welcome matey, sounds like a nice ride, any pics? Ive got standard 17" speedline wheels in black on my 9 and like them, not 100% sure on power for the internals on 8 but heard somewhere just over 400bhp ok (wanna say 425 but could be wrong) obviously the fq400 copes but heard they can tend to have probs though!!
