Put some nice cams in the 8 and you will love it :)
I'd plan on some winter tires and summer tires as well.

No problem with that! I just think the IX is optimal. With the VIII you gotta choose your cams well or the power levels don't compare to a IX or X. With the X your combination of parts is almost guaranteed to be breaking new ground and that's too expensive, even for IT guys.
I've never driven an VIII before. Buy one so we can swap cars for a spin. ;)

VIII + cams + IX turbo would make for a good lower cost alternative to a IX.

Only thing went on my car was valve seals. Which could be replaced by yourself. Jim did his he said it wasn't bad. I just took Scheides stage 3 head because it was the right choice. My stock clutch was still good when I took it out at 55k. They are good cars. If you wanna drive mine no problem. Same with you mlomker come take it for a spin if you'd like.

I would love to take you up on that offer if you're serious, hell even go for a ride would be fun. I've worked on a few evo's but never drove one or really rode in one that I can remember.

Seems like a really good deal? I wish I didn't have car ADD.

It doesn't run a 10.7, but you can take it out for a spin..

Now that scheides has a X, there's often one of every generation at the Wednesday night meets.
