I finally sold the DSM and the Audi and consolidated. I regret not making a project thread for the Brian Spilner DSM and will not make the same mistake with the evo. I'm guessing if I would have had a project thread it wouldn't have ended up with a bodykit or lime green. I've definitely grown up a bit since I got into DSMs so I'm going to do what I can to keep the evo classy.

It was actually a lot harder than I initially hoped it would be to find a clean low mile evo! I ended up getting a 2003 Rally red VIII from wisconsin. All I've been doing to it since i've picked it up is basic maintenance and cleaning things up.

I plan on posting pics as I make changes and asking advice before I make purchases.

I picked it up with a little over 45k miles and the car did come with some basic bolt ons..

Tomei 7960 w\ MAP ported hotside
Map o2 housing external dump (I actually hate the external dump)

Buscher racing full exhaust with test pipe and down pipe V-BAND

I really didn't like the look of the silver mesh so i painted it black. looks a lot cleaner imo

It's wingless... and i'm debating getting a wing. On the plus side it does have a CF trunk, but there is not a spring and it wont stay open on it's own. Kind of irritating.

Spoiler or leave it wingless?

"MITSUBISHI" was in rough shapehttp://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn172/cammaxon/RR%20EVO8/331209_10150312636495754_544735753_8485359_5192066 52_o.jpg

Exhaust heat shield looked pretty crappy also...http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn172/cammaxon/RR%20EVO8/340680_10150311679755754_544735753_8480758_3667636 22_o.jpg

I had some left over high temp engine enamel.

The rear brembos were pretty faded but I managed to restore the clear coat. and the wheels are missing the center caps :(

Front calipers are as clean as the day they were new

Other than that the car is pretty clean! I've basically fallen in love with it.

Thanks for looking and I'll keep you updated!

[Kracka]

Real nice, I aplaud your efforts toward keeping it clean.

Oh, and wing it!

[craig]

If you wing it I'd just sell the carbon lid or trade it for a matching color lid with wing. at least put a lip on the trunk though.

[scheides]

Dude, nice! 45k on the clock what a find! Good solid setup, get it to shane for a tune on corn and just rip it. I say keep it wingless, I dig the red + CF look, very clean!

Only thing I think you should consider, ditch the blue in the seats. Black fabric paint or something, nice mod right up your alley.

Already talked to shane about the current tune and it's already burning corn lol but i will look into the fabric paint... :)

[cmspaz]

Nice find indeed! Keep up the good work on it too.

[pkron05]

Car looks great man. I'm interested to check this thing out sometime.

I did the fabric paint/dye this weekend and it turned out pretty well. I'll have some pics up on Evomn in a day or two.

I might be interested in swapping that trunk for a RR trunk and wing.

[C3L1CA]

I love evo's wingless!

Looks super nice! I'd agree with the blue seats looks kind of weird in a red car, evo 9 seats would be amazing

[Halon]

Looks great. I'd leave it wingless myself. Some Evo 7 style taillights would look good I think too.

[GsXkingGsX]

Nice man. I just could never justify buying an already heavily modded car lol.
