9 Ball’s 2003 Mitsubishi Evolution VIII

Purchased my Mitsubishi Evolution VIII in February 2004. In the spring of 2005 my first mod was a set of SSR Competitions. Helix down pipe, test pipe and Greddy exhaust were next. By the middle of the summer of 2005 I purchased the TurboXs Utec, ARC intake, Tein H tech lowering springs and an assortment of exterior mods. Comp Cams (272s) came in February 2006 along with other parts (Walbro fuel pump, Greddy Upper IC pipe, new front bumper, carbon fiber vortex generator.) I replaced the spring and stock struts with a set of Tein SS coilovers, and in April 2007 added APR's rear diffuser.

As of June 2010, the car currently has 119,540 miles on the odometer and I've had zero mechanical problems. Transmission, transfer case, and differential fluids changed every 15K miles or less. My respect for the car grows as the miles continue to pass and it's been a great journey thus far.

Current mod list...

Aerodynamics:
- Carbon fiber front air dam
- Varis Side Diffusers
- Carbon fiber vortex generator
- APR Rear Diffuser

Suspension:
- Tein Super Street Coilovers

Brakes:
- StopTech Cryogenic Slotted Rotors
- Hawk Pads

Miscellaneous:
- Greddy counter weight shift knob
- Greddy Boost Gauge

- Carbon fiber door sills
- Carbon fiber armrest cover

Wheels and Tires:
- Winter & Cross Country - Stock 17x8 Enkie Wheels w/ Hankook W300 Icebear 255/40
- Summer & Track - 18x8.5 SSR Competition w/ Kumho Ecsta MX 255/35
- Summer & Show - 18x10 Advan RZ w/ Dunlop Dirreza DZ101 265/35

Engine/Transmission:
- ARC Intake Box
- 272/272 Comp Cams
- Mitsubishi Evolution IX bypass valve
- Mitsubishi Evolution IX 10.5 Hotside turbo housing
- Hallman Boost Controller
- Walbro Fuel Pump
- Koyo Radiator
- Helix Down pipe
- Helix Test pipe
- Greddy Upper Intercooler pipe
- Greddy Evo2 Exhaust

Thanks for the compliments. Been away for a few days – sorry for the wait.

Around $2500 with tires (a little cheaper without the center caps.) Can’t remember what the wheels were separate but TireRack still sells the SSRs I believe. Volks were on back order at the time I got the Comps, however, they turned out to be a good choice - much lighter than stock.

I’m at a fork in the road now. I could go for more power but there are many cars out there that I would like to sample as well. “Philly Boy” purchased an E46 M3 back in September and I love the thing – we’re talking up superchargers right now. A Corvette would be nice or a pre-owned Carrera. I don’t know yet but I’m a year and a half away from making that decision.

Really nice. I especially like the side vents in your front bumper. Very clean and still aggressive looking EVO. Nice wheels and everything looks like it belongs.

It's just screaming Brides and Advans Jeff, maybe even some HKS kansai side spats.
