Well, as few as you may know, I'm picking up an Evo finally. To be honest I want to try and keep the Ralliart as well, and I certainly will try, but the parents are "advising me" to sell it and keep the Evo. I figured I'd let you guys know, I've learned a ton from you guys, and I will definitely be active on the RA and Evo forums.

Backstory on the Evo;
2005 SSL Evo
62k miles on chassis
2k miles on AMS built 2.3 stroker motor
Crower 272's (changing them for Kelford Cams)
Megan Turbo Back Exhaust
Greddy Turbo Timer
850CC Injectors
Walbro 255lph pump
Wideband
And the stock parts for the car come with sale.

Everything else is stock, even the turbo. So basically as it sits , it is a TQ monster with the 2.3 spooling the turbo quickly.

Picked up for 16k

It is set on a very conservative tune with only 15 psi of boost at 290 awhp. Why the stock Evo with built motor? Previous owner (owns a Mitsu dealership) wanted to build it, but he decided he grew out of the Evo and needs a mature car, as pulling up to bank meetings with an Evo and loud exhaust couldn't fit the bill anymore. Pics ill come tomorrow. I'm getting it after work at 7am!

 

Sounds like the previous owner removed as many of the parts as they could before getting rid of the vehicle.

 

^That's what I was thinking.

But congrats on the Evo! Looking forward to pics definitely.

 

Nope! I already asked and checked haha, he's a good friend of a guy on these forums, who is reliable. He knows the history of the car since the seller first bought it etc. Safe buy and he's a good trust worthy fella

 

Wow! Awesome man! Im not gunna lie. Im quite jealous! :P

Get some pics up soon as you can you know we love pics around here!

Good luck with it. A friend of mine picked up an Evo and its been nothing but problems for him since. Although yours sounds like its been properly built! LOL

 

I'm going to get some pics he sent me. It's stock and not much to look at but I love it!

 

 

What do you mean she's not much to look at, just scope her out! She's a beauty man! Congrats, super awesome deal.

 

Thanks man! I really appreciate it, it took about 6 months to find the "one" aha

 

Receipts for everything

 

you got an SRS light :P

i'll be joining the Evo ranks myself in due time...congrats on the new toy...don't hurt yourself in it

 

it'll be great to see you join, and of course, it's my dream car so I intend on keeping it for a looongggg time. Safety is key

 

Congrats on the awesome find! I wish I could've found one that cheap with an AMS built motor.

 

With sadness, I say I didn't get the Evo. Couple red flags that made me walk away. Most of it could've been fixed with a tune but I needed a reliable DD, as my RA is under the knife

 

I do however have two other cars lined up for Sunday. Hopefully I can pull the trigger
