Hey
just wondering what is the lifespan on the evo 8's 2003.. how many miles do they last up to?

 

RedCloud has like 150,000 miles on his 03 VIII. There are so many variables to consider like modifications, driving style, maintenance, etc. I would be pretty comfortable saying that if you keep you Evo mostly stock, maintain it scrupulously and drive it responsibly that you could get 200,000 miles + out of the engine and drivetrain.

 

my cousin is selling his for 23k and it has about 47k and it has light mods
bov and intake but he is the 2nd owner.. just wanted to know your opinions of its a good deal

 

the 4g63 has been around for awhile so its known to be good, you can pretty much keep any car going forever just depends if you want to keep replacing things. But i would say that an 03 with 47k miles on it is fine, i would say that 23k is a bit high i dont know about your area but i can find an 03 with around 50k for 20 thousand relatively easily. All depends on how well it was maintained to me.

 

my 1990 GSX blew up around 80K, but i beat the bag out of it

 

If you dont beat it like a redheaded step child you can make any car last to 500k easily. My moms old car just died with like 470k. My little brother was driving it actually, it was some busted DA9 integra. Like I said, I dont think that car ever got past 3k RPM's until I drove it.

 

im in cali and my cuzn wants to sell his cuz he doesnt want it anymore.. i dont even know why he bought it in the first plaCE! lol but yah im very interested in his evo... im gonna try to bring it down to 20k

 

LOL it all depends on how you drive.

 

20K is reasonable. I bought mine a year ago, 1 owner, 23K miles on it w/SSL for $24,000

 

+1


Any car can last very long if you take care of it.

 

Hmm, SSL was not an option in '03...

 

i have 15k miles on my 03. i have a long way to catch up. it drives like a champ still.

 

lol

22k on a 06 lol bought december 4th 2005

 

Has "cuzn" really slipped into popular useage? If it has it makes me scared for the future of our world.

 

116,000 on my DSM.

Driven hard and put away wet, never had a problem with it. Only things I've replaced from wear are:

Turbo (t-25 blew up at 20psi, replaced with evoIII 16g)
Clutch (100,000 miles on stock clutch)
Waterpump (only unexpected failure)

4g63 FTMFW!
