Finally just purchased :)

Well I joined the other day and ive been lookin for an evo and wanting one for a little bit. Was looking all over online and I ended up getting wind of a guy I actually knew that wanted to sell his 05 VIII and its in pretty good condition. Not perfect but a lot better than some of the ones ive seen. Nothing a few touchups couldnt take care of. Now I am finally a proud EVO owner gotta get used to the car tho before I do any beginner mods plus i have a warranty with it still which is nice and its all stock except for the catback exhaust that was added.

Thank you. Now time to get used to the car and do A LOT of reading before I even think about modding it.

Bizzaro yes I am from Corning, NY the place famous for glass haha. Yeh I plan to read a lot. I want to keep this car for awhile and do a lot to it. The last car I had was a 3rd gen eclipse and it was my first turboed car and it was an ok process but it was too much of a pain. I consider this a major upgrade just in attaining this car im glad I finally have something with a lot of potential and fun involved!

Haha oh shes ready. But im doing baby steps of course. I have a lot more to learn about my car and about where to get parts from and help with installations and tuning before I really do anything with it.

Did it happen to be a blue evo with the stock wheels painted black? I saw it on cars.com, a guy from corning was selling it, I emailed him the other day and he didnt respond, so Im thinking you got it lol. Anyway GL with the new car.

If you are looking for ANY kind of parts I highly suggest the place in my sig (stmdsm.com). His name is Emery, he can get you anything you want for the car and probably for the cheapest price as well.

If you need credentials he has the fastest stock block evo and is mocking up a turbo kit on my car to be for sale at a later date.
