Evo Viii Project
I got an Evo Viii a few weeks ago and ive decided to do another project. I dont have my camera because i couldn't find it when i left florida over the summer so i wont have any pics ntil either this weekend or the next.
Tday i painted the headlights and taillights Flat Black and made the wheel wells bigger to fit my thicker tires and new suspension set-up(illhave more details when i get the camera, but i used the stock truck rear arms and custom extension on the upper shock mount; the tires extend about 1 or 2 millimeters from car) I am sanding some tonight but i wont do much, then im gonna prime it tomorrow with a coat. Im thinking about painting it Red. For the body im going to use the stock spoiler but other than that im not sure since i havent seen the full body kit. If any1 has ideas im open to all of them |

Okay, today I hand painted 2 or 3 coats of flat white paint as a base. Then i painted a couple coats of Testors Gloss Red, also by hand. for once my handpainting came out fairly well. I painted the rims flat black.
I didn't use any tape so a couple of my windows look pretty bad. CAN i fix this by painting them gloss black or is there a better way?? |

but it's a little too late for that so gloss black will have to do. |

It shouldnt be too bad, i only got a little red around the edges and some white so it should just be as easy a a little touch up
I also got some on the screen-like pieces in the bumper and hood; should i cut them out or paint them flat black? |

have you cosidered hinging? i got a friend that wanted is doors and hood hinged, the Evo viii looks great with suicide doors and hood. i like your paint scheme. you should go flat black for the screen like pieces.

Okay, im almost done. Hopfully ill have pictures tomorrow night or saturday.
I painted the windows and they came out quite well, there are a few places i have to go over still. I painted the fins directly above the windows flat black and the front bumper has some well place flat black also. I think i may have gona a little overboard with it but it still looks good. The sceen like places are flat black. By next week i should have an Atomic AWD Ball bearing motor all wired and ready to go. DOES Radioshack sell motor capacitators? |

Sounds like a nice project. I don't think Radioshack has motor capacitors...if they do I've never seen them. You can get them off ebay, Xmods International is where I got mine.

all those ebay capacitors are schemes. they arent specificaly engineered for xmods or anything. all capacitors are the same except for the amount of electricity they can store.

ya i meant scham or w/e
i used a random capacitor of an old circuit board of sorts and it does everything that all those sellers say they can do for $3+ for free. i just had to rant on that and i'm very sorry for getting off topic any way.. back to the evo 8, i think that red might look cool, which body lit did you use?

The tires came off of a diecast mercedes model i found packed away in florida over the summer, i chose to use them because they gave me the extra clearence i want to drive on packed dirt... speaking of rally, the thread i just read said something about makin inner wheel wells which i will most likely attempt within the next few weeks. since the pics, i found that i needed to make the front wheel wells slightly bigger so i can turn completely.
Besides that, i have driven it and the tires dont have quite the traction i was looking for and the back end doesnt like to stay in line with the front(thats with the stock motor, i still havent put in my Atomic AWD Ball Bearing stock motor) so im hoping that that will change when i get the AWD kit. The car will be mainly used for drifting on hardwood or cement, or just driving on dirt/pavement... so im gonna have to find an 'all-terrain' setup |
