Message	My brother just got a new evo 8 couple of days ago...the color is called tarmac black , 5spd...everything is stock (intercooler, brembor brakes, enkie wheels, momo shift knob n steering wheel etc)..just got it tinted for him as his present (??) . Overall handling is just amazing. It isnt broken in yet so not taken over 5500rpms but pulls really hard up till then...Intercooler has a manual/auto switch where you can spray water on to the intercoolers as well as adjusting headlights. We are planning to put a downpipe, intake this weekend and a S-AFC/AVR in the next couple of weeks, and then prolly take it to the track....hope you guyz like the pics...comments?? . . .
