Did some surgery on my car
 
Well some of you know I totalled my 8 a while back and buy an EvoX. Well this saturday I had some parts I wanted to install so I did. Here are some pics to share with you guys.

Nice man, have you tracked it yet? Seems to me the radiator would get very little air. Sweet ride.

Alexb 01-18-2010 10:39 AM

That shifter looks like a huge throw. How is it compared to the 8 stock shifter?

JinDesu 01-18-2010 10:43 AM

That intercooler looks awesome!

Gr8Bullet 01-18-2010 11:00 AM

Looks great. I was expecting to see an rx8 but the evo looks hot.

I have tracked it extensively with the stock intercooler. The radiator gets a lot of air because the car has several air ducts that are functional and redirect air perfectly. So no overheating issue so far.

The throw is longer than the 8 but no by much. I will be installing a short shifter in the months to come since I do track the car every 2 months or so and it helps a lot. But the shift knob I installed does wonders for the throws, doesnt make them shorter but it does make the shift a little bit cleaner.

Looks awesome I bought a new Evo Viii in 2003 , it was a blast to drive. The new ones look even better.

Haterade Alert!...Dude you are Puerto Rican rotaries are in your blood.


J/kl ol Nice ride. Jajajaja.

05rex8 01-18-2010 05:57 PM

so was it really necessary to swap intercoolers?

kersh4w 01-18-2010 06:06 PM

that maf placement looks downright awful.

right after the filter? and right before a bend?

yuck.

alienRX8 01-18-2010 11:32 PM

took it to my tuner today to have it reflashed, got 355whp at 22psi, need to get a new blow off since apparently the stock one isnt holding the psi to well. It should be at 25psi so tomorrow ill take it back in with a new blow off to check it should get around 365whp maybe a bit more.

Nice car, thanks for continuing to hang out with us :)

If I had the finances, I would probably own one of these right now.

Keep up the modding!
