Evo 8 MR help

[skyboy]

Hi Sifus,

After few months , I'VE decided to get a evo 8 mr. Since its my first evo n driving a turbo ride just curious of certain things.

1. previous owner have install a Apexi RSM black. its that ok for a turbo ride?
2. This MR doesnt come with a Vortex generator.. he told me he didnt have it either. is this possible ?
3. just curios wat minimal modification i can do for this ride.

previous owner have done some modification , he have change TIAL wastegate, hks blow of valve , turbo timer, and autogauge meters. thats all the rest is standard.

just wondering wats the boost for this MR? I tried askin all this to him(previous owner) but sadly he doesnt know either..

pls help thanks

u can install boost controller and many other things.i got a MR too.
ori boost is 1.6bar

thanks jun.. beside than boost control , watelse mod u change.. do u use RSM for the speed cut?

 

[zenom]

i dont think third party device is good to remove speed limiter .
if u want ,do it properly by tweaking the ecu .

Jun, sold off your E6 for MR?
Sky,
no problem of using RSM on evo.hundreds of them install it, me too before changing my ECU.

congratulations on getting an Evo ...
you wont look back ...

1. RSM no harm
2. yes.. it is possible , some doesn't come with BBS rims too ...
3. This really depends on individual ... some go for better suspension for handling,
for power, air filter or panel filter, exhaust system, ECU reflash, some might get a boost controller too ...

just my 2 cents worth opinion for another fellow evo lover

cheers

hi, sorry to disturb the tread. i wan to know how much is the market price for 04 stock evo8 mr now? i found 1 recently. very good condition, completely stock car. they offer me at rm153k. is it a good price? and the car is 04 imported new. thanks

 

[azizi.aziz]

aycy, if rm153K unreg. I think it's reasonable...

 

[skyboy]

hi bro rm153 is good deal... coz banks value the car at rm130k which is not appropriate..
anyweis if its stock standard you can ask them some discounts hehehe anyweis which dealership ur gettin it from?

 

[aycy]

it was 04 cbu car at rm153k. i go to test the car already. condition was not nice. it was stock car. dash board are scratch , seat also not nice the condition. then the car when i drive i found out the undercarriage got alot of funny sound. then i found another e9 at penang.i think some of the member here know the car. it was runing on 2.3l tomei kit. asking for rm190k. any coment for the car?

yeah. thats the car.

An 04 stock car for RM15X k is just plain retarded. Especially based on what you had described.


As in the case of most rare items ( i.e Evos in good condition), the prices are c*ck high when the demand exceeds supply.That's just the way things are.

Many unscrupulous dealers/ sellers out there nowadays.

So, just keep searching bro, travel as far as possible and view as many as you can before you decide.


That's my advise, it worked for me.
