almost every used car that is sold has been to auction at one time or more in its life. when a car is traded in at a new car store most likely they bring it to auction unless they can certify it and put it in their used inventory. the general public is under the assumption that auction cars are at auction for a reason but this is false... of course yes, there are many cars with problems at auction but also many clean cars with no problems

 

just waiting for my belt tensioner to get here so I can drive it down th street and see how everything is..

 

This is 100% correct and funny that people do not actually know this

 

Congrats on the buy. Are you going to do the timing belt and all the tranny fluids and such? I would get that thing running and drive it everywhere. Seems like you got a great deal.

 

+1

 

looks like a good project. keep us updated on your progress.

 

well I got the car together finally so that it is drivable. I think that it had a tune on it before so I'm going to have to get it tuned. It idles a little rough. So far I put 30 gentle miles on it and no cel or major problems other than no reverse which I knew about and slight grind going into 5th gear. Clutch is good, by looking through the inspection hole it appears to be an ACT clutch.

 

After I sold my WRX to Carmax, they sent it to auction because they couldn't put it on their lot. Not sure why but the car was fine. Seems like Carmax sends a lot of cars to auctions.

Nice Evo though. Looking good

 

WOW man that evo looks really really good can't even tell it was messed up

 

Maybe bad tranny? body still looks good though! congrats on bringing her back.

 

Congrats on the purchase and nice progress.

 

u plan on selling this?


i just sent u a message on nyspeed about how i was looking for a evo

dunno how i just came across this browsing but i did haha

 

Hmm... getting a tune with the factory exhaust on... seems like a waste of money, unless you wanted a completely stock car with a better than factory tune. Probably couldve found a used Megan tbe or something from Ebay. I know you want it up and running, but somethings are probably cheaper to go ahead and upgrade instead of paying for something twice.

 

congrats!!!!!!!!!!

 

you lucky dawg!
