    Curt 11476 trailer hitch, modified to fit Evo 8/9. *** SOLD *** Used for three months (installed new July 2013). I spent most of an entire weekend carefully customizing this hitch and figuring out how to mount it perfectly on my Evo9. I also made an aluminum "plug" for the OEM rear tow point under the spare tire well so that the strength of the tow hitch would be maximized and all play would be eliminated. It worked great and towed close to 1,000 pounds with no issues. Installation does not require any modification of the bumper cover (on an Evo with an OEM Evo9 bumper cover), other than cutting out a very small block of the white inner foam piece.

    $150 new. Buy my ready-to-install setup (aside from slight mods to bumper beam and elongating one hole on the unibody) for $80 + shipping. For your shipping estimate, go to fedex.com, enter the origin zip code as 80501, your zip code for the destination, and the package weight and dimensions as 27 lbs, 32" x 14" x 14".

    Here is an album of all the pictures I took while installing this hitch, so you can see the exact modifications I made to install it:

    Hawk DTC-70 track brake pads, for Evo 8/9/X OEM front calipers, OEM Subaru STI front calipers, etc. Part #HB453U585. Used for one track day (3 15-minute sessions), with brake cooling ducts. At least 2/3 to 3/4 pad material life left. Enough stopping power for 500+ whp with 285 section-width R-comps.

    These pads are $320 new; $162 shipped via FedEx ground (with the Hawk box) or $155 shipped via USPS Priority (w/o the Hawk box). *** SOLD ***






    APR GTC-300 61" carbon fiber rear wing. *** SOLD *** Designed specifically for the Evo 8/9 trunklid (reuses one set of existing holes) but does require drilling one new hole per side. Available as sold by APR, with APR's risers and CF endplates; or with my custom aluminum risers and endplates, which takes it from being mostly for show to being 100% for downforce at the track or higher speed autocross offsets and slaloms (custom risers use six attachment studs to the trunklid instead of the four supplied by APR). Rear wing condition overall is 8 out of 10—still looks great, shiny clearcoat, couple small nicks here and there—but there is one area on the leading edge of the airfoil where there is damage and the clearcoat has yellowed (see pictures).

    $1300 new for the APR GTC-300 wing. I spent about $500 having the 6061 custom risers CNCed, making the endplates, plus the stainless steel guy wires & turnbuckles, and assorted hardware; plus having the aluminum parts anodized black. Not to mention weeks developing the design and making sure its height, location on the car, and endplate sizing would be legal for SCCA SM class autocross rules.

    $650 for the wing as equipped/sold by APR, or $800 for the whole package (both sets of risers + endplates), both prices plus shipping. *** SOLD ***

    You can estimate the shipping cost yourself at fedex.com. Use box dimensions of 63" x 14" x 14" and a weight of 34 lb to ballpark the shipping cost. The origination zip code is 80501.

    The APR wing with the original uprights and endplates is just under 12 pounds, but the custom, taller uprights are fairly heavy (7.7 lbs for the pair), plus the cardboard I'll need to protect the wing properly will be as heavy as the wing itself.

    Autopower 60952 bolt-in roll bar, for Evo 8/9 without sunroof. Purchased new in Feb 2012 for $550 + $130 freight:

    http://www.ioportracing.com/Merchant...ory_Code=AP952

    Removed and ready to install. Includes all necessary hardware and backing plates of course. Minor scratches in the black paint (as received from Autopower) from loading wheels and tires in/out of the car, otherwise in perfect condition. Legal for SCCA and NASA Time Trials events. $350 + freight shipping (probably between $90 and $140, depending on your location).

    Freight shipping will be through a carrier like Pilot Freight Services and if you want it delivered to your house, you will probably have to stay home on a weekday to receive it and be able to lift the roll bar off the back of the truck yourself. The roll bar dimensions are 54" wide by 47" tall by 9" deep, and it weighs 62 pounds. Anyone who is at least 130 pounds and 5' 2" should be able to handle it.

    This is not a drag racing roll bar; please don't ask me what you'd have to add to make it NHRA legal because I don't know their rule sets.

    Here's how you install it: http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-how...-pictures.html

    APR GT3 carbon fiber side mirrors for Evo 8/9. These have a few small pits in the clearcoat of the fronts of them. Overall condition: 8 out of 10. Saves 3 pounds over the OEM side mirrors (doesn't sound like much, but everything adds up/makes your car faster). I drove the car on the street with these and had no issues seeing traffic behind me once I got used to them/adjusted them properly.

    Comes with all necessary mounting hardware of course (three stainless steel allen head screws per mirror; you reuse the rubber gaskets from the OEM side mirrors). You can install these in about half an hour, including drinking a beer afterwards.

    $290 new: http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/a...08-p-5743.html

    $165 shipped.

    Rotora Super Challenge RF6 355mm (14") big brake kit with six-piston forged calipers and two-piece slotted rotors. Requires 18" wheels. I ran these front brakes for about two seasons at the track. Previous to upgrading to this BBK, I tried in vain to get the OEM Brembos to work for me without boiling the brake fluid after less than 10 minutes on track—tried Girodisc two-piece rotors, titanium shims, Castrol SRF and Prospeed RS683 fluid, and brake cooling ducts—with no real improvement.

    Going to this big brake kit (larger rotors + larger pads = more heat sink capacity for extreme braking duty, which constitutes converting kinetic energy into heat) solved my problems. The ventilated, two-piece piston design (with titanium top rings) of these calipers helps to reduce heat transfer from the rotors/brake pads into the brake fluid as well. No issues with brake balance front to rear (the rear brakes on the Evo 8/9 do so little there isn't really a need/reason to upgrade them).

    The calipers have recently been rebuilt with new oil rings (aka "piston seals") over the winter of 2012/2013 and the rotors had new rings installed in July of 2013. There is only two track days of use on the fresh rotors... approximately 150 miles. You can see by the pictures with the calipers that they're basically unworn from their original thickness (1.263", or 32.08mm... the nominal spec of the rotor thickness brand-new is 32mm).

    The brake pads are pretty much done—you'll need to order a new set to do serious tracking, but the pads they come with (Raybestos ST-43, unbelievably, these pads are streetable, yet work at the track when pad temps exceed 1000 degrees F too) will get you started, last for half to a full track day, depending on your car's power and weight, the track you drive on, and your driving style.

    These six-piston Rotora calipers came equipped with stainless knockback springs (reduces brake pedal dead movement from wheel bearing play) in two different spring rates, but I removed them because I didn't really have pad knockback issues without them, and the springs complicated pad changes.

    For pricing comparison purposes, these Rotora big brakes are similar to Stop Tech's 355mm, six-piston front brake upgrade kit ($3k), except that the Stop Techs don't come with knockback springs or ventilated titanium pistons:

    $1550 shipped for this Rotora setup.

    (In this first picture, you can see the old rotor rings that were recently replaced... they're not worth anything, I'm showing them just as additional proof the current rotors have fresh rings)






    Note the production/ship date on the rotor rings:
