Thank god. I hate lancers they give evos a bad rep, oh and they suck. And are not as pimp as a evo, and not feared by the turbo community like the evos especially the 5-speed evo ix's. When a sti owner sees a evo their always like damn that looks fast, that evo looks like its gunna **** on me in a race. And thats from past experience.
statements like these make us (evo owners) look bad.BTW, an evo is a lancer, thats why it's called a lancer evolution.

Good call, Good price on the car. 36k miles is mint considering mine is an 06 with 30k. That would be like 7k a year if you spaced it out for 5 years.
PS: need a evo act 13.5lb flywheel or a act street disc, got one of each for sale brand new hella cheap. Or shoot offer.

I think its a great price, and what 5 year old evo's should cost right bout now, plus theres a 03 trans in the fs section for like 600 bones obo, should jump on that too.

Yea, he works at an oilstop place and i was there as he changed the oil and the differential, etc. It all checked out. We also took it to a body/repair shop and put it up on the lift and had my buddy check it out. Its in great shape. Mechanically and cosmetically. 
Also, part of the reason i got it so cheap is the dude is starting an unexpected family. So i figured i would help him out and get that evo off his hands quickly.
Yea, i dont really have a problem with the ecu, but i am considering taking it over to works or vishnu (both like 45 min drives) and getting thr stage 1 performance package.
O, and RA LSD.... no deal, sorry!

Well the time has come.... I ahve been in discussions with this guy about buying his 2003 Tarmac Black Evo VIII.
The Good:
It only has 36k on it, vishnu ecu, and upgraded breakes and rotors. So I am buying it for $16k (which is a killer deal).
The Bad:
It has a puncture hole the size of a quarter in the rear bumper, 2 of the rims have slight road rash, and the trunk matting is thrashed.
But overall its still an incredible car and like i said, i am getting one hell of a deal on it. But of course it means that i am going to have to sell my 04 ralliart. It has been an awesome car and I love it, but its time to move on.
So i guess the point of this thread is to say goodbye to all the RA owners here. Although i didn't post too frequently I have been on here for quite a few years and learned a lot and enjoyed the knowledge everyone has to share. Also if anyone is interested in buying a 2004 RA thats in great shape you know where to look.
Adios
