The 2003 Vivid Racing EVO VIII is now up for sale (10/7/04) and being retired from the VR Family of project cars. With 5 magazine features (1 in Japan) , numerous trophies, awards, and race results… this 420 wheel horsepower monster is now ready to be honored and go down in history like the rest

The turbo kit was installed. The wide fenders had been completed. The UTEC was ready to rock. The time had officially come. The Vivid Racing Project EVO VIII needed to prove itself. With all the bolts on complete, the fuel ready, we needed to see what this could do. We called up our local all

When thinking of the next step in what to do to the Vivid Project EVO VIII, it was a long and hard meeting. Logarithyms, analysis, and readings from great prophets all were in involved. But after the first 3 beers we knew it had to be only one thing. We go wide! Since we love

In the ever ending quest for horsepower, the only way to truly make it happen on the EVO VIII is by adding a turbo kit. The factory turbo is capable of 300 wheel horsepower, but at its limits, it barely exceeds that point. After having our fully tuned EVO VIII on a Dyno Dynamics dyno

Getting tested is no joking matter. In fact we recommend it once every 6 months. Because that is the time it takes for you to mod your car and see the difference. Right guys…Guys…Right? Anyways after tons of work, tuning, and messing with stuff we decided to get our Project EVO VIII dynoed. We took

The time has come to beef up project EVO. With every know bolt on available from Japan’s greatest resources, we need to get more POWER! After digging in our closet of toys we decided it was necessary to put on some new HKS cam shafts and cam gears. The HKS cam shafts are available in

Project EVO VIII has been the first of the EVO project cars by companies that has given results, shown its power, and received its 15 minutes of fame. No joke, ever since we brought out our first WRX we have been killing the competition. In fact, we can count 2 USA magazines, 1 Japanese magazine,

Don’t be alarmed by the title of the story, this mod was definitely not a Cluster F***! The simplest coolest thing you can do to your car is the meter switch by Ralliart. This part is the sickest JDM thing you can get. The meter pulls out and the new one goes in with in

I have been running Tein Flex Coilovers with EDFC on all 3 of my cars now. The famous Vivid WRX I, Vivid WRX II, and now the EVO VIII. I mean how cool is it that you can adjust the dampening from inside the car, have adjustable height, and camber for all under $1800. Easily…quality,

A Knock Who? Thats right! Knock Sensors are probably pretty new to the EVO community here in the USA. Link Electro of New Zealand has developed this important tool called the Knock Link. The knock link, as you see in the picture, is a basic black box with a multiple of LED’s on it. The

Kansai Service of Japan has some very strong ties in the tuning community. As known as some of the best in the EVO market, HKS Kansai Service has this bitchin full carbon air box for the EVO. You might have seen Vivid Racing confused about many things. First we started out with a Monster Sport
