OK so i purchased another evo 8 a couple months ago. It is totally stock at this point and has never been modded in its life. The car only has 49,000 miles, it was owned by an older asian man with 2 kids and 2 car seats in the back. His wife made him sell it and I decided to not pass it up. Only two things I installed so far is a: ACT street clutch w fork stop and a TBE w a test pipe (Stock tune).

Performance Parts I have purchased so far:

Exhaust:
TBE w test pipe (installed)
Mynes Tubular stock frame manifold
Megan O2 housing

Intake:
Ported Stock Manifold
Custom intake w Blox Filter

Fuel:
255 pump

Intercooler:
Muse Short route lower and upper piping


Parts I think I need before I get a tune:

Stock 9 BOV
Injectors 880cc-1200cc?
Ported 65mm TB
Turbo(pref stock frame to match up with manifold i have, something that will get me some nice street power and safe for stock block)
Kelford 272 cams
Head studs
ETS 3 inch intercooler


anyone have any suggestions? or input on my thinking? Really this thread is me thinking out loud, would like to hear some other enthusiast opinions.

so this thread isn't boring, here is a pic of my first Evo:

these stories are what keeps me in a evo regardless of how much bad luck i've had.

its really surprising how many people go back to the evo once they have gotten rid of it, like ^ said above when **** gets bad or get tired of sitting in uncomfortable seats threads like this make me love my evo even more lol

I went from my EVO IX GSR to an Audi A4 which is the biggest mistake of my life. Audis are nice but the maintenance price is more than I'd like and performance gains are minimal for the price. Bang for buck stick with the evo as long as possible. Also, the market is ridiculous now though. I bought my first evo for a bargain at 25k with 33k mileage. I'm lucky if I find that now as a 7 year old car. Talk about a premium to get back in!

yea, definitely missed the instant power and insane amount of power that can be easily made. Not to mention doing any sort of work on the audi was a pain (special tools and crammed space).

anyone have any suggestions for my mods list tho?

I sold my 2005 c6 for 18.500 :/ atleast I purchased this 05 for 12k

As for your mod's list.

ETS Complete FMIC kit lower/upper piping, Tial QR unless you want to covert to Speed Density.

Spoolin up Coil on plugs kit < one of the best investments yet!

Shifter bushings

Hallman MBC or the other's could probably point you towards a good EBC

Stock frame look into hta 73 / FP red or EF3~ I hear good things about them all

Kelford or GSC S2's > With Valvesprings

255 pump will be ok for now, I'd just get some 2k Injectors & have them tuned down so if you ever need bigger you already have them.

Some suspension couldn't hurt, I personally plan on getting some D2 coilovers, but Swift springs are pretty top notch for just replacement springs.

I probably missed alot but that's a start lol
