My new Silver Evo IX MR SE

Most of you probably won't remember me but I originally bought an 03 Evo back in 05 and had it for a little over a year. I had some problems with it and traded it in on a brand new 06 STI. Needless to say I missed my Evo alot and got rid of the STI and got a bike.

Well here I am two years later and have finally gotten back into an Evo. I got it for a sweet price too. It has only 11K miles. I did notice a few things though. When I am driving and hit a bump or rut in the road it seems like the wheel is sometimes being pulled from my grip to the left or right. Is this normal or an alignment issue, or even something else?

I don't have any pics of my 03 Evo because I had them hosted on we todd did racing and I see they are gone now and I only have 1 pic of my old STI.



Here is the Evo, so far the only thing I did was switch the guages and the radio around and take out the Speedo and remove the covers off the backlights to brighten it up a bit.





and a shot with my wifes little cousing, haha

nice car! ^you can swap the gauges and radio. Keeping those gauges in the stock position makes them completely useless.

Not to much anytime soon, maybe just some cosmetic mods or something simple like shifter bushings.

Well I bought it used and the previous owner must of had a MBC and when he took it off he left off the stock lines as well so it was boosting only 11 psi, solved that and two other things broke, then I broke the clutch and replaced it with a ACT 2900 HD with a lightwieght flywheel and I didnt like it at all. then broke a motor mount bolt, had some paint problems, so I just wanted to get rid of it and get something else and start fresh.

It really easy to change around, just search for the how to. It took me like 20 minutes. I did it while my wife was in with the orthodontist.

Thanks everyone else.
