Kindred Impulse | The Evolution

Posted on Jul 26, 2011 in Feature | 9 comments

Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when we featured the Blaze Orange EM1 with the K20 (Counting Pennies)? It’s part of a much larger crew (Kindred Impulse), which had cars breaking necks at Import Alliance this year. Today we bring you one of their heavy hitters. Justin Goad’s 2003 Lancer Evolution VIII. As a member of the U.S. Navy, Justin was found out he was embarking on a 7-month deployment. Think of it…   … a whole 7  months to rack up parts while your away.  A whole 7 months of extra money to spend on your car!

When Justin returned to the U.S. he had roughly $5k in parts to install. He began with the engine. Swapped out the stock turbo for a PT6162BB Turbo producing well over 450whp. The 18×10.5 +15 Enkei RPF1’s in SBC Coating really add some character to the EVO VIII, and fit nicely behind the rear wide-body fenders. Ofcourse they didnt fit on the stock rear fenders so i looked into wide body rears. Found Version:Select and got sponsored by them. Decided to wrap the rears in camo to match the front.
