Well this is little brother guys finally got one after riding in my brothers I knew I had to have one. All I can say is if you are planning on buying an EVO be patient there is allot of junk out there that people think are nice but just know what to look for and know how to NIT PICK and talk people down. Well Ive been looking for a while and this is by far the best bang for the buck. Over the years Ive lost count on how many vehicles that Ive had but I have never set down in a stock vehicle and had so much fun driving in the mountains from the handling to the torque and control of how this car is set up I guess you could say this Honda guy just switched over to the other side.

Well going to start ordering in the morning so any helpful points or comments LMK but there's not much that you can get by my brother he deffinitly on point when it come to an EVO. We will keep this thread updated as progress is done. Thanks Bro

 

^ well welcome to the family (evo family). As for helpful hints or pointers just look on here... but I'm sure your brother has told you that

I have a set of ID1000s that will go into the car once he comes down to visit and get tuned by me.

 

Way to go Freddie....hooking up the Bro !

I've been trying to get my "brother from another mother" to sell his 400 hp VR6 Jetta and get an evo....he just won't do it.

I like that mods list.....you must have informed him on what stuff works and what does not.

What about cams, head studs, o2 Housing, MAP sensor, and 3port solenoid????

 

Christ Paul, the man has only had the car for a week... O2 housing is on the list, perhaps a map sensor, but only used to log boost as this car won't be speed density. Gonna keep it simple with a MBC. Cams maybe later down the road, like I said before, he isn't looking to build a monster, just something reliable!

 

Hey man.....if you are going to do it....do it all the way... : )

I have been building and changing stuff on my car since 2003. I don't think another car will ever be in order because whenever I get bored with the current setup, I change it....it is like having a new car all over again.

I do understand about wanting a reliable ride though.

 

Nice car steal of a deal.

 

/\ yeah definitely a steal you just gotta wait for right deal to come to you sometimes.

 

Or hunt down the deal that fits into your budget...

 

Sweet performance for 13k.

 

that is clean for an 03
