New to evos, not new to the game

Hey everybody, names Mark. I just picked up a cheap '03 Evo for a daily driver for now, until I decide what I am going to do with it. I live in Rochester, NY, right over by STM. I have had a bunch of cars in the past, STi, 1g dsm, turbo civic, a few turbo legacys, a bunch of 1g neons, and now I am driving an '03 SRT as my fast car. Best ET/Trap so far with it is 11.930 @ 119.30.

Here are some pictures of the evo:

Turned this:



Into this:







Car has some damage, so I got it cheap. Car whines first gear loud, and grinds third. Engine is strong, compression test was 173, 176, 174, 174. The car was in an accident in 6/03, and has a dented hood, some chips in the front bumper, and a few other scratches and scraped, but nothing DEADLY. Its just a nice little ride to get me around town.

I may decide to do nothing, and just beat it. May decide to fix it up nice and make it into a nice car, or just may make it into another race car. Time will tell. I have a lot of nice resources, and a lot of good help, so no matter what we do, expect some fun

You bet em! I was up last night, but no one was around. You will be my main resource on this car I figure first step will be plugs, fluids, your idea on my state of the trans/transfer case, and then setting up launch control on her! We can do that on an '03 with your software, correct?

Smile Car doesn't look cheap.

Nice choice...Just don't get spotted by the cops with that red paint. Well, second thought....your car will probably be spotted anyways. hahaha.

How much did you pay for that beast? Don't let people know you drive a SRT on here you'll probably end up getting flammed..
