To get over the breaking of my ep3, I've bought an 2005 Evo 8 to cheer me up
Kelford 264 cams
Piper adjustable pulleys
3" turbo elbow
3" manifold back
Hks bov
Hks switchable boost controller
Hks turbo timer
Updated fuel pump
Ecutek remap
Running on dyno approx 400bhp & 420ftlb
The only thing it won't pass is a petrol station as I estimate its doing approx 16mpg

I'm collecting a 2004 JDM WRX STI on Saturday, we could be petrol station buddies!

As above. I ran a modded Evo 8 as a daily for over a year. Get a £100 beater for the daily.

No front grill,
Leaky sunroof
Mold on seats
Not run for 15 years so turbo actuator seized
No test
No tax
No for the bad bits..only kidding
It runs and drives like a dream, just something to have a little play with
Comes complete with dyno report from 1993 when it had its cams fitted giving a blistering
122bhp!!!!
No power steering, no ABS(terrifying) makes a DC2 seem like a Rolls Royce
One word RAW....and it's ace

My second car was a 5 turbo in dark blue with the gold Clio Williams alloys, was made of tin foil and caused me no end of grief but was awesome fun!

Both sold now that new company cars have landed
So comfy
if you own a EVO your better making it a weekend car as the fuel bill would be mental as a daily driver 
used to love these, would be even cooler if it was a xr2i.
