Thought I’d stick a build thread up since I’ve had the car now for 6 months. Basically sold my evo as it was a pain in the arse and my good mate had this beauty and managed to persuade him to sell it to me! It’s been well looked after so knew I was getting a minter :smiley:!

Plans are to hopefully get better brakes, possibly coilovers and xennons! Dying to get it on a dyno as well. Beat my old evo 8 in a straight line so hopefully running decent power :evilgrin:

Thanks for looking :happy2:

Fitted an ITG intake to try and get more power and the opposite happened, now having boost issues.

Bought a revo intake and still have the same problem :sad1:

Really like the revo though and thought the ITG didn't fit well in comparison. Can't compare them as the car won't boost!  Fitting a new cam follower on friday and off to Sitech racing to find out whats wrong! Fingers crossed its something simple!

Does your username reflect a number plate you have/used to have ?

Got my cam follower from my local VW garage and also managed to get a genuine Ross tech cable for a good price after looking for months, happy days :smiley:.

Great car - some quality modifications, and looks as though it will only get better! Sorry to hear about the Evo - my only experience with them was of a mates old FQ300 - pretty brutal car, but I think the bills were too! 

Must do the cam follower on mine, it's the next consumable on the list...

Just interested to know if you had the boost issue sorted after fitting the intake?

Nope but I used to have the plate M4 AXB  :) until I forgot to take it off my car that was written off before it got scrapped!
