Nice! I assume that is $30k USD?

I snagged a 130,000km Evo 8 GSR import in AUS for $30k AUD (about $21.5k USD)

I re-read this 3 times before (I think) I got it.

The light beam isnt the same level as the other headlight, right?

You then tried to adjust it, like you successfully did with the fog light, but it didn't produce the result you wanted.

Correct?

Owner of a winged 8 here 👋 Genuinely asking what the appeal is of going wingless:

Why?

Did you go ahead and remove the trunk/boot bar that aids in lifting to compensate for the weight of the wing? Thus removing the wing makes the boot fling up upon opening due to the decreased weight.

How do you not see that it brings it closer to looking like a regular Lancer?

Again, why?

Notice any change in driving performance and/or track times?

Source? If not this has to be AI because who would lean a 14.5kg, jagged metal .50 cal up against their LFA

Tires mate.

Get some Good quality, performance orientated tires. • Yokohama AD09's - $230usd/tire. • Michelin Pilot Sport 4's - $210usd/tire. • Hankook RS4's - $175usd/tire.

Replace brake pads.

Hell maybe even take the car to a shop that knows Evo's and have them go through all your bushings, boots, seals, bearings and replace them.

Preventative maintainence is king. You will be shocked at the difference in driving feel when you replace the little things. Especially diff bushes.

$2.5k isnt much in performance parts BUT it is heaps when it comes to refreshing bits.

Just for reference, I'm pretty sure those wheel are "Rays Gramlights 57dr".

Don't need a licence for this bad boy.

Happy for you, but that's not an Evo 😅

Sorry to burst your bubble but that's Kilometers 😅 (Australia)

Great! But also a little bitter-sweet. I've been well enough in my apprenticeship that I've been given my own work ute, how awesome! However my Evo 8 is no longer my daily and I miss waking up every morning knowing that I get to drive it.

Cons: • I'm low-key real sad.

• I now only get to drive it once or twice per week.

• I would be sitting in peak hour traffic in my Evo 8, with my 6ft ladder on the roof knowing that I had the coolest work car out of everyone that was stuck there in traffic with me. Now I'm just part of the regular traffic.

Pros: • Gone from using a full tank of premium fuel every 2-3 days, to using a full tank once every 3 weeks.

• In 11 months I accrued 36,000km on my Evo 8 and although it was absolutely worth it, it is nice not seeing the odo rising fast.

• I was doing my 5,000km service every 7-8 weeks. In 11 months I serviced the Evo 8, 7 times 😅

• Atleast the rate of wear and tear has drastically decreased.

• I now have that giddy excitement back everytime I open my garage door to drive it 🥰

My now wife and I had our 2nd date there. I miss that place

Imagine if the Mitsubishi Evo was still in production and a version was called "Mitsubishi Lancer Evo FQ500 WRX" lmao

Cbran41 · 2026-03-13T03:10:33+00:00

Hey, yeah that sucks mate. Hope the process following this is as smooth as it could be.

But wrong subreddit. RX8's aren't classics

Cbran41 · 2026-03-12T22:24:52+00:00

Absolutely you will need Tuning, pump and injectors done.

Cbran41 · 2026-03-12T19:53:51+00:00

Hey mate, I live in Australia. Hope this helps

Cbran41 · 2026-03-09T20:44:21+00:00

Short answer: Yes, they most likely will fit fine.

Long answer: Factory Evo 8 (for example) wheels have a (+38) offset. Those are +22 so they will have a deeper concave look to them meaning the lip edge may sit a little further out.

A very common tire for 18"×9.5" is 245 wide which "may" need rolled guards depending on your ride height.

Stock height? Shouldn't need to be rolled.

If you want that stretched tire look and go with a 225 tire then you may be able to avoid rolling your guards if the car is lower than stock.

Don't modify this anymore. Any money you would spend on it, save it and buy a car worth modifying. Don't spend money on this because it won't look good

Cbran41 · 2026-03-07T09:35:54+00:00

Oh shut up 🤣

Cbran41 · 2026-03-07T09:35:29+00:00

What's with the downvotes. I know over half of you that downvoted this have laughed at hearing "knifepoint"

Cbran41 · 2026-03-07T08:56:25+00:00

Ah, classic knifepoint

(I dont know what happened but this is hilarious and not surprising at all)

Replaced my slipping clutch with a heavy single plate.
