Just got home in my new weightless white 03 evo! Love the car so far (insane levels of grip compared to my 03 cobra). Wanted to introduce myself and ask a few newbe questions...

Any suggestions for the upcoming 1,000 mile break in period??


I am looking to get roughly 300whp from the car... any mod suggestions?

Thanks in advance

2003 weightless white EVO - stock

SOLD - 03 Cobra - torch red
Densecharger, Borla Stinger, Nitto NT555R Drag Radials, Zaino, Mobile 1 0W30

SOLD - 2000 Firebird Trans Am, NBM, M6
Flowmaster 80 Series, Direct Flow Lid w/ K&N Filter, Free Ram Air, BMR Weld in Tubular Sub Frame Connectors, Auto Meter Pro-Shift Light, too many coats of Zaino to count

 

As far as 300whp I would say.Turbo back, intake, re-flash or piggy back and you will be close.But you also should either get a re-flash with Boost adjustability or a MBC or EBC then you should be definetly there.

 

congrats!

Nice color choice. Where are you from?

 

Congrats on the evo!! Just wondering though why did you sell the cobra???

 

Cus he wanted a REAL car..

Yup, Yup..

 

congrats from another weightless white owner

 

Welcome to the darkside ,Evo Rules

 

Welcome to the club bro. As for 300 whp. That is easy: Vishnu Stage 1+ (probably closer to 320)
All that is is just exhaust, xede (piggyback ecu), cams, and cam gears. Looks stock, runs like a bat out of hell. Easily will do around 12 flat and 116mph. Total cost around $3000.

 

thanks for the welcome guys.

EVO_RPM - I'm in Albuquerque NM


m3mark- sold the cobra because it did not have enough room (baby on the way). Plus, I was tired of the god awful wheel hop, squeeks, rattles and two replaced half shafts!


So far I love this car (I guess I'm a converted soul). Only thing... I cant stand keeping it under 3000 rpm's (146 miles on the odo).

catch ya later...

 

It's cool. A good number of us are Mustang turned Evo owners ;P

 

I love your avatar, but Cannonball Run( the orig.) was much superior...don't you think?

 

Working on selling my stang so I can buy an evo because I need room in the back for my baby too! He's 6 months old, I got the car seat in my stang once, it wasn't a good fit. Plus an evo will be winter driveable (with the right tires).

Grats on the car, but more so on the baby. It will change your life (and you). Coming home to that smile is just amazing.

 

Change to non-synthetic oil immediately for the break in! (if you want a high HP EVO!)

 

Congrats!

I was an owner of an '01 Cobra as well. I agree with your assesment of their problems (Except my Cobra didn't have the beastly '03 power).

Welcome to the club.

 

Yes yes congrats. I love the new car smell!
