New Car Photos (Jap content)

After a couple of weeks wait while the car got inspected and serviced I finally picked up my Evo 8 320 MR. Coming from a 172 Cup the power is just crazy. Its all standard apart from a few bits here and there and some different coloured wheels.

Heres a few photos for anyone interested, looking abit pink and swirly but nothing a good polish won't sort out

I just can't help looking at that spoiler and laughing! Is it aftermarket?

Double Yes

Nope that's standard

Love it. Certainly is a big jump from a 172 to this!

Looks mean

any plans for it?

Fantastic car mate, good to see another Evo owner on here! Any mods planned? I'd highly recommend getting your ECU tweaked by a mapper using ECUFlash - totally transformed my car, plus you can have switchable maps etc.

Get yourself over to the Mitsubishi Lancer Register if you aren't already on there - great forum and really helpful!

Nothing big planned at the moment, just going to give it a good detail, new mats, bit more carbon here and there, and just generally enjoy it and get use to power untill its time for more

I've signed up on MLR just not paid my membership yet

Awesome pice of motoring there, enjoy it.

May I ask how much did it set you back?

boxman2000 · 12 Apr 2011 at 15:55

Ahh, get signed up mate, then check your insurance with Pace Ward - saved myself a packet!

@ Cristian - I know a lovely Evo 9GT for sale

Evo 8's can be bought for £9-12k these days, or more depending on mods

Looks awesome!

Look gawjus

Palma red comes up a treat too. Keep an eye out for peeling lacquer on that spoiler though

Jeez, everyone's buying MR's these days, better book some upgrades in

What's the spec?

They can be had for lower, but I decided to pay above the going rate to get what I feel is a good one plus you dont see as many as you do scoobies

(saw 4 STI's today).
