Whats up everyone. I am new to this forum. I am a bastard of sorts, not owning an evo. You may wonder why I am here, and I guess my reason would be that I am a huge fan of cars. I like to immerse myself in as much info as I possibly can. I am a fan of evo's, so I enjoy reading and discussing with the owners.
I own a 2001 2.5RS coupe. Its slow, but its fun to drive. I am working on a motor build at the moment that should be pretty potent.
For a job, I am a warranty manager for Lotus Cars, USA for the dealership here in salt lake city.
my car



I guess I do have a little bit of Evo in the Subi, I installed Evo 9 Seats!

 

W00t, another subi owner. You aren't alone on here, there's a few of us.

Nice gc8 you got there. What is your plan for your motor build?

 

get that slow *** out of this forum. U know there is a subi dubie forum

 

I have a closed deck EJ22 block that I am building. I am trying to decide if I want to put some darton sleeves in it and make it a closed deck 2.5l. I was lucky enough to find out that the machine shop that Axxis Motorsports and Cobb uses for their engine builds is in my home town. So I have an in!
I am going to go hybrid and use SOHC heads because I have them. When I get the long block put together, I wills start considering my turbo options.
I am planning for 300-350, but I would prefer to overbuild and have potential for bigger power if I choose.

 

Dont worry about me. I am anti nasioc. This forum seems much better.

 

Hahaha...a modified car owner works for living as a vehicle warranty manager. You are the man!

 

If you ever buy a Lotus, bring it by here for warranty, I'll take car of you. Lotus is really easy to work for. The cars are bullet proof, and the warranty people up top are really cool.

I cant bring myself to buy a new car. I cant leave things alone, and would blow my warranty in a week. I have done tein flex coilovers on my car with the edfc, and when I put my track tires on, I seem to find myself needing a new motor.
My last track day, I spun a bearing. It sucked.

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

welcome to the forums and GL with the scubie

 

welcome brah

 

i hope you're joking. this kind of attitude is unnecessary. there are plenty of subie owners on here, im an evo-hopeful myself but my car is definitely not a slow subie. and there's nothing wrong with his 2.5. welcome to the forums brotha

 

Yes.. Welcome, I own a STI and an Evo, pleae ignore the idiots on here. Bunch a freakin savages everywhere on this internet. Nice looking subi btw.

 

Hey dude, I own an evo (wrecked) and an RS coupe as well.

Guess what, I've got a built 22t closed deck block hybrid.

I would suggest just stroking your block to 2.4 liters with the phase 1 2.5 crank and rods with wiseco's. Plenty strong for your power goals and save big money over darton installation.

Good luck with the project...

 

Clean lookin ride. Welcome to teh forums.

 

Wow...you don't deserve an Evo....no wonder people think Evo owners are immature
