    My 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII GSR "Eve"

    Remember when I said, by the end of these year I'll have an EVO? Well, I finally got my ULTIMATE dream car. I enjoy other cars and there are definitely better cars than an 05 Evo 8 but its safe to say I dont yearn for any other car anymore. With BabyG and Eve, I can consider my dream car list complete.











    She came with a few goodies already.

    HKS 272 camshafts
    Kiggly HLA
    It has upgraded valve springs and retainers but the brand escapes me at the moment.
    Greddy 3" FMIC
    Greddy hardpiping
    HKS SSQV
    Invidia o2 housing
    Perrin 3" downpipe
    Cobb 3" testpipe
    Greddy 3" Titanium exhaust
    Full Race tubular exhaust manifold
    Allstar Performance vented catch can
    HKS adjustable cam gears
    Zaklee clear camgear cover
    Greddy Profec B Spec2 Electronic boost controller
    AEM Uego wideband
    Autometer Sport CompII boost gauge
    Swift lowering springs
    Hawk HP+brake pads
    Powerstop slotted rotors
    JDM Evo9 headlights
    JDM Evo 9 taillights
    JDM Evo9 rear bumper

    It's currently sitting on some 17" Ronals I got for free with snow tires from a buddy, but she came with 18x8.5 Volk TE37 that is currently bolted to BabyG because I needed the 15mm adapters to fit these Ronals over the Brembos. lol

    First couple of days after I got her, I had to replace the right front wheel hub and fix the leaking throttle body shaft seals. She looked like this though. I branded her as soon as I pulled her into the garage.



    I will be mostly using her as my regular "daily" As of now, I will be keeping my silver LS V6 as my work car (I have about 400lbs of tools and drive about 3000 miles a month for work. The EVO would be very expensive to maintain if I use it for work). But Im trying to keep her stock block, maybe a ported EVO 9 turbo or my 5858 when BabyG gets an upgrade. She dynod 300whp and 271 ft lbs of torque on AMS Mustang dyno @ 25psi I believe but I am going to get her retuned by Devin for peace of mind.

    Plans for the near future will be Boostin performance tune @20psi on pump and stock fuel system, a "lancer" trunk for a clean rear wing delete, 20% tint, BBS MR wheels and nose chop on the front bumper. I want a reliable 350whp EVO that I can drive everyday and take to the track if the Galant is down. Started from the bottom now were here!

    You ask and I shall deliver. I didnt like the composition of this phot which is why I didnt use it. I think its time for me to upgrade to a new lens. I am getting bored with the kit lens.

    LMAO! You guys are hilarious! We should all meet up soon. Maybe hooters?

    Anyway, couple from today.













    Had to replace the HKS SSQV because it started sticking in the cold, and being VTA on a MAF car the car did not want to cooperate so I got a TiAL QR and recirculated. Also going to get retuned on Devins Mustang dyno Next Saturday.

    Tune was successful. 309whp 302wtq Stock injector stock turbo on a Mustang dyno. These numbers are with the car still on the EVO 8.5 turbo. Planning on going to a ported EVO 9 once I get babyG situated for this season.
