Hi Guys,

Just got myself an EVO VIII, been after one for ages but finally got my hands on one!

its a 2003 53 FQ300 with 75k on the clock.

has most of the service history but has a few mods with no record of what they are or when they were fitted.

anyway some of the previous owners pictures;

one of it parked up with my van..

the brakes were warped when i picked it up, the previous owner supplied a set of cheapy discs and pads so we put them on at the weekend.

i've ordered a new set of tyres (Vredstein Sessanta's) not cheap as they are 255/35/18's. wheels are getting refurbed this weekend and the new tyres put on, the car is getting a mop and valet and then its got 4wheel alignment booked for monday, ill get some decent pictures when its all done!

this will be used on track and road.

those sessantas are brilliant tyres, i had them on my old GT4.

oh, welcome along

nah i have taken the badge off, i popped into a local sign writers and they are making up a black sticker of the mitsi badge and "EVOLUTION" and also the FQ300 for the doors for about £15.

lightweight, easier to clean and no risk of the paint peeling off! haha
