Thanks guys, I really try to take of her. In terms of her history I have no previous history from Japan, but I'm suspecting she was a one or two owner car and she received some love and care because it's held up great for its age I love the fact it's not a rust bucket like a lot of these generation obviously been a garaged car most of its life.
it came to Australia at the end of 2010 it since been owned by 4 people.....that's quite a few people in such a short period of time, which raised some red flags for me. But when I went to look at her she was in better condition then most evo 8's I looked at so I bit the bullet. I think some of them understimated the amount of love you need to show these car and the fact that its no easy task trying to daily this thing.
i have owned her for a about a year now with no real problems. The turbo was tired so i swapped it for a evo 9 one and changed out some freeze plugs. But besides that its been running great, The only things which bugs me Is the coilovers it came on need changing so i want to get some quality teins for the street, bucking at low speed classic worn diff bushings and thats about it.
