MAP's 2008 Evolution X GSR Build Thread aka Project GGX

[v8klla]

These are 18 x 9.5" Work Emotion CR Kai The outer edge of the wheel lines up almost perfectly with the body line, although I do need some wider tires, they are 245's right now I need 255's or larger. Anyone know if I will have issues with rubbing in the rear?

[Murlo26]

Lomker should know, he runs 265's on his 9.5's. I don't think he rubs.

What offset are you running?

Go 265's if you get new tires, unless it rubs, fill that rim out!

[mlomker]

What is the offset? I run 18x9.5 +28 and it's perfect. Anything more aggressive and you'll want to roll the rears. I'm running Star Specs in 265 but I could run a 275 in an NT05/narrower tire.

[v8klla]

The offset is +20 on these so they would fit Evo 8 without spacers, thoughts?

[Murlo26]

Sounds good (the offset), just throw some meat on there! 265's get my vote but 255's might be safer.

Agreed. I'd say roll the rears or go 265 in a narrow tire.

That cast IM looks like it was made in the 80's.

Shave and polish... boom looks like a Magnus SMIM.

If you don't want bling, then shave and coat with thermal dispersant.

Nah Quoted it for Kracka to look at it.

Used his website so I wouldn't totally thread jack this thread by using a competitors website.

Anyways, back on topic, sick Evo X. Whoever got your IX is a lucky piece of shit.

He was just a serious buyer, who made an effort to see the car, and get his money to the seller ASAP. No luck involved.

Impressive bolt on gains!

LOL what?? I said he was lucky because he got a clean Evo from a shop owner... Not because he went and bought it first rofl...

I like that heat shield / air director... Is that a MAP piece?

[Goat Blower]

The IX sold?

[DSM_421]

Yea for $13,500. (I think, just know it sold and he was asking 13,500)

[Kracka]

It was a VIII, not IX.

[v8klla]

and it sold for $12,500

[DSM_421]

I would of 100 percent bought your VIII had it been for sale a month or two from now. That is a bomb deal.

For now I'll be happy with a clean DSM.

I cant even remember how many times I heard that with my evo and eclipse. Good price for a nice car. Cant wait to see where the new car goes.

[Goat Blower]

Sweet, good to hear it sold. It was a nice car, no idea it had those miles, but on a modded car, who cares, it's all replaced anyways.

[v8klla]

Got our new MAP 3.5" short ram intake installed late last week, it will be offered with a reducing coupler for the stock turbo inlet and a larger one for those of you with turbo upgrades

Due to the removal of the stock MAS housing this unit will require tuning. Although I doubt this will be many people's first modification here are the gains we realized from this intake and MAF scaling adjustments, no timing or boost adjustments as of yet:

[311evo]

^ Saw that in person last week, looks very nice.

[93gtpeater]

Know why you gained 22hp from just an intake and maf. That's nuts. I wish I owned an evo x. Can't wait to see what you do to it next.
