Who has stayed "STOCK" the longest?

I am just curious to see who has stayed stock the longest. In regards to "stock" I mean no power mods. I don't consider a BOV as a power enhancing bolt-on.

This afternoon I had a previous customer I sold an STi (used) to stop by to say hi. He bought the vehicle last August and is totally content with the STi stock. He admitted that it is more power than he would ever need or want out of a car. I asked him if he had the ECU reflashed and he said "it doesn't need it, it's fast enough..." I can honestly say that I was shocked when he said that. He came from a Focus with a lot of I.C.E. and he still has perma grin from the STi.

Anyway, like I said, I am just curious to see how many people are still stock and plan to keep the EVO the way it was when you took delivery of it. I haven't even added the water wetter yet that my dog got me for Christmas. Gona try and hold out for a least one year. I just need to stay of the classified section of the forum and I will be OK.

Bought my car in November '04. Still stock. Still fun to drive.

If your on the fence about modding, all you have to do is read all the "I blew my (insert major d-train part here)!!!" threads and youl be ok.

maybe you should be more concerned with 1) how your dog got money for this, 2) how he got to the store, and 3) what store he went to that sold something to a dog



but in all seriousness, im guessing there are probably quite a few people with 03s that are still stock. the only thing i plan to do really is a reflash so it isn't as rich up top and pulls strong, and that'll come in the spring sometime
