Evo X Info

Hey guys.

My brother bought a 2008 Evo X in July 2014 from a dealer ship in St. Louis. He wanted to see if he could find the previous owner to get some background on the car.

You can see how it looks in the picture the day he bought it.
If you know who owned it or you are the owner PM me please/

thanks for looking

Pretty generic looking, should definitely add more details to find the owner

Bring it to a local tuner in your area, have them do a once over. Past that find out if the timing chain was replaced, if not, do so ASAP. Before 2011 those were prone to stretch.

Honestly your chance of finding the previous owner are pretty slim, so protect yourself and your investment by getting it looked at before you drive it hard. Maybe it has a tune, maybe not. Maybe it has some aftermarket stuff on it, maybe not.

Least you should do is take some engine bay pictures so people can guess and try and help, but your best bet bar none is to have someone with knowledge look at it in person and make sure the tune is safe.

That was my brother. But I'm looking for the owner before him. My brother bought the car last summer.
