2005 Evolution VIII

[Prez]

Bought Stock from the local Des Moines Mitsu Dealership in October of 2006. Car had 10K miles and was owned by an 50yr+ Eye Doctor from a small town outside of Des Moines.

After purchasing car I met the old owner and bought some winter rims and tires.

I then added an 3" Turbo back exhaust. And drove it through the winter of 06\07.

In the spring of 07 I added:

255 Walbro FP
Swift Springs
Injen Intake / UICP / LICP
Tactrix Cable and ECU Flas ( Aka Tuned )
LC-1 with XD gauge Wideband
SW Boost Guage
Groupe-S Guage/HVAC Panel
Radio Relocated
ARC Heatsheild
Forge EVO15 DV/BOV
Evo IX Front with SE Lip

Gave me this:

The car ran several 12.5X and 12.6X runs last year in the 1/4 on STOCK CLUTCH with several 1.6 60' launches.

I then took a shot at Autocross and fell in love. I am now building the car mainly towards Autocross.

Car sat in the garage for Winter 07/08. Tonight the parts begin to be added. Pics coming later tonight of new parts and then pics throughout the next week of progress.

i didnt know you used ecu flash and the tactrix cable, i bought my cable about 4 months ago and have yet to flash anything new to the ecu.

[Prez]

i didnt know you used ecu flash and the tactrix cable, i bought my cable about 4 months ago and have yet to flash anything new to the ecu.

Yep since day one. :) Well since I bought the cable anyway. I bought "canned" tune for 50 bux from a vendor and tweaked my timing and fuel from there with my wideband and knock counts, etc.

[BOORAH]

Is this what the front end looked like before?

So in looking to do serious AutoX, nationals, divisionals, and local events; I got the following things. (More in route)

First ya need good brake pads to go with those giant brembos.

http://se7enpc.com/images/parts1.jpg

Then Stainless Lines

http://se7enpc.com/images/parts2.jpg

Fluid that won't boil so quickly at an HPDE event.

http://se7enpc.com/images/parts7.jpg

Talking **** to the slow ass STI's. ;)

http://se7enpc.com/images/parts4.jpg

Pads for the Fan boy!

http://se7enpc.com/images/parts6.jpg

Nice big rear sway bar.

http://se7enpc.com/images/parts8.jpg

Manifold for low end torque and power, and spool.

http://se7enpc.com/images/parts9.jpg

O2 for some power and better spool.

http://se7enpc.com/images/parts10.jpg

is that on evom too i think i seen that

[DSMMIKE]

NICE! I decided to gear my car more twords auto x after doin my first auto x-last year. pads, ss brake lines and a nice rear sway bar are gonna be in my next box from extreme psi. but i havent the slightest idea when that will be lol. i just blew all my money on suspension and other misc. parts

[C.J.]

^ me too...that is blowing all of my money. I don't think I will autocross my car though.

[Prez]

So today I have completed a couple things.

1. Mounted two spare sheets of sheetrock I had left from my basement work.
2. Used spare insulation ( Now I need to buy more of both to finish it.
3. Hung my lights, now I can work all the time! YAY

http://se7enpc.com/images/prog1.jpg


http://se7enpc.com/images/prog2.jpg

4. Got rims mounted on tires.

http://se7enpc.com/images/prog3.jpg

[Prez]

^ me too...that is blowing all of my money. I don't think I will autocross my car though.

You should. It is so much damn fun. Have you ever tired it?

If NOT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. I was chicken **** at first but then tried it and am now hooked.

[C.J.]

i am not really afraid of how i do, i am more afraid thinking that it is really hard on the car. BTW i love the wheels, what is the offset again?

[Prez]

i am not really afraid of how i do, i am more afraid thinking that it is really hard on the car. BTW i love the wheels, what is the offset again?

How would it be hard on the car? You put it in second gear, gas down, use brakes, and turn. It's easier on your car then launching from a dig is.

Not going to lie, I destroyed a line of 4 cones my second time. :)

Rims are 38 offset.

[C.J.]

just seems hard on the motor to be holding around real high in the rpm range, i am sure I will try it sometime b/c it does look like a lot of fun...just alittle nervous.

[Paul_N]

i wanted to do auto cross, but auto sucks

[cole]

i wanted to do auto cross, but my car is a land yacht

[DSMMIKE]

id say its alot easier on the car than drag racing. you dont really hold the engine at a constant high rpm the whole time its off and on the gas and brakes alot. only thing its hard on is your tires woop deee dooo. **** my car is alot madder at me after drag racing than it was after autoxing. **** shes still pissed at me from lastnight

[Paul_N]

ROFL

[Prez]

It's for 45 seconds and your hardly high RPM for very long. You need to go and experance it. What you have in your head is not anything like it is.

[Prez]

Wheels are on.

:D I like.

[Kelvin]

sweet plate

[BOORAH]

What kinda tires?

[DSMMIKE]

falken rt 615s.......??

[BOORAH]

I missed the part.
:lol:

[Prez]

falken rt 615s.......??

Yeah 255s for now. The rims will support up to 285s with fender rolling. 275s without. So 275s will be ordered when the 255s are shot.

[DSMMIKE]

holy **** thats wide!!! do you know what a dsm will fit? i know ali had to clearence something in the rear to get some 16x8s to fit

[Prez]

holy **** thats wide!!! do you know what a dsm will fit? i know ali had to clearence something in the rear to get some 16x8s to fit

No way. Not much room under a DSM.

[Lepa]

Dead sexy, me likey, and yes I've never done autocross but i've ridden with rabid2liter, its a ****ing blast and my truck would tip over if i tried to get around a cone.

[ali]

holy **** thats wide!!! do you know what a dsm will fit? i know ali had to clearence something in the rear to get some 16x8s to fit

No way. Not much room under a DSM.

very true, 16x8 are very very close, you'll be ok if you get some wheel spacers though.


Prez the EVO looks DAMN good.

[cole]

Prez the EVO looks DAMN good.

[SHIFTER]

Decent prez. Tho i cant say i like those wheels... prolly my least favorite wheels made. But they'll get the job done.

[SHIFTER]

Ah plz believe too.... ill be doin autox this year too in the IS300. Got some stock 16s on order to throw some azenis or something on. Should be decent.

[coop]

just seems hard on the motor to be holding around real high in the rpm range, i am sure I will try it sometime b/c it does look like a lot of fun...just alittle nervous.

autocross is no worse than a drag race on your car......and cars these days should not be hurt going 6k rpms for a few seconds.....

i know i didnt get under 4500k when i used to do track days at MAM, Heartland park, and pikes peak.....and those are 30minute hot laps on a track......and lots of those a day

[SHIFTER]

i know i didnt get under 4500k when i used to do track days at MAM, Heartland park, and pikes peak.....and those are 30minute hot laps on a track......and lots of those a day

Did you used to do track days in your Mini? Ever thought of getting another one?

[coop]

yeah...my first M3 (avus blue one) and my mini


i would love to get another mini and almost bought one but i cant justify its lack of feasibleness with my job...

[SHIFTER]

First picture in the snow looks like it's out in the Jordan Creek area.

[SHIFTER]

I think you're right about that, right across the street from the mall if i were to guess.

[SHIFTER]

^ Don't you hate on the Enkei's I love em and want a set of my own.

that inner ring just ruins it for me, not to mention they look too small for that car. idk, ive always thought they were kinda ugly :puke1:

[DSMMIKE]

holy **** thats wide!!! do you know what a dsm will fit? i know ali had to clearence something in the rear to get some 16x8s to fit

No way. Not much room under a DSM.

i wasnt asking if your tired would fit under a dsm i know that lol i was wondering if you knew off hand whats the widest a dsm will fit? im thinking ill prolly just go 16 or 17 by 7 or 7.5

[coop]

oh and good looking car prez

^ Don't you hate on the Enkei's I love em and want a set of my own.

to me that inner ring gives the wheel a rally wheel look, plus nothing else really has that.

[Prez]

The wheels are function over form in this case. They are one of the lightest 9.5 wide rims you can buy that will fit without spacers for the Evo.

It's something you either love or hate. If you love em, great. If you hate them, great. I completely understand. :) It's ok Andrew.

Its all good, i know you bought them with function in mind just like everything else you usually do. Just cant say they're what i woulda got. Eitherway tho, the car is turning out pretty decent. Autox ftmfw!

but I am 100% with Prez as for his reasoning on the wheels.

dot.

[Prez]

The inner rig again is function based.

Without it the rim flexes and will crack. R compounds on all 4 at a 285 width have some serious grip. :)

Hopefully mid season I can have the funds for that and get another set of ballin rims for cruising.

the inner ring is my favorite part, b/c it copies the look and function of a real racing wheel

[Poowill]

Hey prez, car looks fantastic! some damn tastefully done mods.

I need to start gearing up and preparing my car for autox this spring as well. I was the same way, After my first one, i fell in love. Especially since I was able to really let the m3 loose (and Scott of course lol).

I am looking to getting some Azenis as well. Problem is they don't make 245/40/17's and 255's won't fit, :pissed:

Where and how much did you get your SS Brake Lines for? They a worthwhile upgrade? I was looking at a 6 piece SS Line set for 125$

This reminds me to get a list going, Rotors, tires, upgrade the shifter, pads, lines....damn i'm gonna be broke. :bolt:

How wide is your rim? The Azenis have a really HARD sidewall which allow you to run wider than normal. Like on my 8" wide rims 245 wide would be the norm. But since the sidewall is so damn stiff on the Azenis you can run 255's. Also buy them from here: http://www.vulcantire.com/azenis_rt615_t.htm Best prices I have found.

I have yet to install the lines and use in a race environment. I will let you know though once my first race is done. I think I paid 75 for mine, some vendor off the Evo forums.

[DSMMIKE]

VULCAN TIRE FTMFW that were i got my first set of falken fk452s and thats where i just orderd another 2 to replace the corded ones damn cheap and good price on shipping. Gearing up the dsm for auto x is half way done i just need another 4-500 for my swaybar brake lines brake pads and strut tower bars and this car will be like damn. keep up the good work prez

[srt-4_uk]

Here is another cheap place to get he Atenzis http://edgeracing.com. I like the look fo the rims.

[DSMMIKE]

wow their 4 bucks a piece cheaper for the tires i just bought but shipping is 5 bucks more and it would be longer than 2-3 days shipping and i need them asap will defintly keep em in mind for the furture tho

My rims are 18X8. stock is 245/40 in the back, 225/45 front. 255's are usually the most you can fit, sometimes not even that depending on suspension setup. I'll have to do a little bit of searching to see if 255's can be done. I'm going to be pretty low after I get my GC Coilovers on...

But thanks for the link! I will probably be ordering from them soon...

What autoX meets are you planning on for sure going to?

[Poowill]

yeah...my first M3 (avus blue one)


Wait, you had an AVUS blue m3? And sold it?!?! :nervous:

[Lepa]

Poo just so u know prez is in iowa not lincoln for autox'ing.

[C.J.]

what a noob

[Poowill]

Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota....all the same damn thing...heh.

[Prez]

Some better ones before coilovers. I'll have after coilovers this weekend. Right now it is just on swift springs.

I think the coilovers will help with the look. Get it even lower and a meaner overall stance.

[Paul_N]

might use that last one as my backround lol

[DSMMIKE]

godamn those are some big meats under there (for an import) ****ing sexy!!!!!!! I think with some lowering those wheels will look a hell of a lot better on there, but i dont think they look bad as is anyway! What coilovers did you go with??? Coilovers rule btw i love them on my dsm

[STOK5OH]

at first i wasnt diggin the new wheels,but now seeing how wide they appear I think they're pimpgantic. :woot:

[C.J.]

i want to come play with iowa awd guys...

[Prez]

There isn't many of us.

Car is still on jack stands as in the process I had to destroy my rear endlinks to get the sway bar off. New Perrin end links should be here early this week so I can get the car on the ground and show pics with the coil overs.

Also ordered R compound tires for track use. Those should be here Wednesday. First race for me is April 6th.

[ali]

SEXY

[BOORAH]

SEXY

[Poowill]

wow sexy ass parts prez...those wheels will come alive and look a ton better with the drop of the coilovers for sure. Can't wait to see pics..

[DSMMIKE]

NICE so you should do forged internals now and sell me your pistons

[Prez]

Work on the car for spring 08 is going well. Engine bay is back in order. Finishing up the suspension tonight. Turns out I have races Sat and Sunday for autox so under a time table now. Had to take tomorrow off from work.

[DarkSlide]

Nice Prez.

[SHIFTER]

Oooh i hope those endlinks work out well for you prez... i had a set EXACTLY like that in my mazda and my celica for some time and BOTH were horrendous causing tons of clunking and always coming loose (EVEN with locktight and some other things i did to try to keep them tight).

R compounds FTMFW, i seriously want to come up and ride in your car through a course sometime this year...

[Prez]

I'd be glad to do so. Hopefully I can make it to one Nebraska AutoX this year as well.

I cannot wait to get out there this weekend.

[DSMMIKE]

what rims are the r compounds going on?

Im jealous.

[DSMMIKE]

whats with evos and stis sitting lower in the rear

[Prez]

whats with evos and stis sitting lower in the rear

With an AWD car you want a negative rake as they call it. The rear lower than the front. THis helps with balance and dive in when braking.

Also the arches in the front of the car are like 4 inches taller. No joke.

[SHIFTER]

what rims are the r compounds going on?

My stock wheels for now.

blah, man up and put them on the light wheels :lol:

Yeah they tend to do that. Those cars seem to be made from factory for autox.

Fuk that, go get em!

[Prez]

Thats my goal. The car has enough to get the FTD I just need to push it harder.

[Paul_N]

what brakes do u have?

[Prez]

Brembos?

[Paul_N]

o just stock?

[Prez]

o just stock?

Yeah, they are enormous. I changed the pads to HP+s though. Fluid got changed to DOT4 as well.

[DarkSlide]

SS Lines?

[Prez]

Yes, SS lines as well.

[DarkSlide]

You need like some badass Alcon 6pots or something. That would be ballin'.

[C.J.]

F Alcon

AP racing is how the super l33ts roll

[DarkSlide]

F AP Racing.... Jack the brakes off a ZR1

[C.J.]

seeing as how i thought you were a Japanese car freak, i am kinda disapointed in you.

Go ahead and check the brakes on the JGTC Nissan GTR

dont get me wrong, Alcon is gangster ass ****...but AP racing is SUPER GANGSTER ass ****.

[DarkSlide]

Bah I'm a S13 guy.... All I know is Z32 brakes ftmfw! lol

[Prez]

My 4points do fine. I'm on a budget.

[C.J.]

My 4points do fine. I'm on a budget.

ya i love thinking about STi/EVO guys that have our 4 piston Brembos upgrade...considering what most cars come with for brakes and don't upgrade

[LastPewterZ]

There isn't many of us.

more than here, there are no other subaru's that come out in Lincoln and no EVOs

The silver Evo's out like every night...

[MeanGreenCamaro]

Yea thats that jon kid. He was rollin around with shaine

[C.J.]

ya ok 1 EVO that i would generally not want to cruise around with b/c he is followed by the longest parade of ricers O street has ever seen.

[coffeeslug]

How are you liking that forge DV? I used one of those for a couple of weeks, tried all the spring and shim combinations, and it was just a fluttering bastard. Seems more suited to drag racing than autox.

[C.J.]

i have forge as well, but when i rode in Jeremy's EVO i dont remember it fluttering all that much.

[Prez]

It flutters if you don't get some serious boost behind it. When your in the gas it just stays shut. If I only build like 5-10psi then let off it flutters because it is so stiff.

It always stats shut just flutters under anything under like 15psi really.

[DarkSlide]

So Jeremy, when is the car getting dropped off at AMS?

that is pretty much how my Forge acts as well.

CJ - How much boost is an STI at stock?

I want me a Spec B Legacy :(

Yeah, it turned my throttle into an on/off switch, which I did not like. No doubt it holds like a mother though. Have you autox'd with it yet? Seems like you'd be sacrificing a lot of throttle control.

[C.J.]

like 13.5psi or so, i never had a boost gauge until it was already hitting 20 psi haha.

[Prez]

It'll be there this weekend actually. :woot:

Yep I ran the first event of the year last weekend. I had the FTD for the first heat. Then ended up with 7th fastest of the day out of 43 by the time points runs were over.

Although in "fun" runs I took second FTD. Too bad it didn't count.

I have no issues with it.

[DarkSlide]

NICE! Power upgrade?

[Prez]

NICE! Power upgrade?

Nope. I am ok with power level for this year.

[DarkSlide]

Liaz! Your car will probably come back with like 900awhp on low boost and pump gas.

[Prez]

Liaz! Your car will probably come back with like 900awhp on low boost and pump gas.

And then be completely worthless for what I am using it for now. :(

[DSMMIKE]

I have a forge bov/dv too and anything below like 10-13 psi it will flutter just a bit but anything over that and she sounds like ****ing SEX!!!! it actaully wont even blow off untill like 3-4 psi is built up. im running the 15-0ish psi spring right now though so im sure once i up it to the stiffer spring i will get more flutter.

Yeah softer reduces flutter, but then reduces max PSI it can hold. So when I road race I may have to remove the stiff and replace with soft so part throttle is a bit more precise.

The stiff works well for drag racing at 24PSI though.

[DSMMIKE]

ya i figured switching to the softer one would be a better idea for autox forge ftw

[Prez]

Back from AMS and Chicago. No new goodies just tweaks.

Car is ready for Divisional in KC in two weeks.

[Paul_N]

what is your car putting down now?

[DarkSlide]

what is your car putting down now?

900awhp @ 40psi

He can go to 50psi but thats really not needed.

[Paul_N]

it would be nice, but wouldn't u have to run like c16 gas or w/e

[Prez]

My car now runs on babies and makes 934AWHP.

[Prez]

I rarely hit cones and when I do it is usually with the side or rear tire.

[Prez]

New AutoX wheels

275/40/17 Kumho V710s vs my old 235/35/17 Toyo RA1's. Hahaha cannot believe I was even using those POS toyos! The Kumho's are insane!

Also added APR Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser.

I think the size difference had a little to do with your tire choice as well. Car looks good as usual

[Paul_N]

Do the black five spokes weigh less than the other ones?

[Prez]

Do the black five spokes weigh less than the other ones?

Eh they are about the same. But the 5zigens are and inch wider which I need for the 275's.

I just got my 275 RT-615's in today as well for use at MAM and driving around on. My 255 RT-615's are SHOT.

Also my ARP extended studs for my wheels, titanium shims for my brakes, and new HP+'s as I have already worn out my set I put in May. hahahahaha! :)

[¿umop apisdn]

How have your times been comparing to other cars? Beat anything sweet? I don't know what good times are for MAM

[Prez]

How have your times been comparing to other cars? Beat anything sweet? I don't know what good times are for MAM

Every time I go the damn transponders are not working. :(

I roll on the RT-615's when I go and I can keep up/pass almost anything except those ****ing Z06's(C5 or C6's). They are so badass. Makes me want to get one!!!! I can stay with em in the corners a bit but they simply out power me on exit and straights. I need a better turbo.

Last time I was WORKING caged, prepped mustangs with sticky rubber wider than my car! haha ;)

[Paul_N]

evo 9 rear bumber +1
