What's up everyone, I just picked up a 2003 evo, Apex Silver about 2 weeks ago. The motor was already pretty built, exterior and interior bone stock.

I owned a 96 GST, and a few Nissans. I also work as a tech at an independant shop. Anyone from Bergen County in Jersey toss me a PM and we'll meet up or something.

I'll post up pics and stuff tomorrow, too dark now.

Nice choice, and keep EXCITED with the Evo's personality. All the best man!

 

Congrats on the purchase. What kind of engine mods did it come with?

 

own a 03 evo myself, and heard our evos got common problems with trannys. mine has to be rebuilt soon, yours?

 

hey.....common' don't break his heart. I think you should be OK with the transmission...JUST ENJOY THE CAR! All the best!

 

Congrats on the best ride of your life. XD

 

After 52k miles and 3 years of tons and tons of track racing, my only tranny "problems" were extreme notchyness... Remedied simply by doing a tranny fluid change. So I got in the habit of doing oil, tranny, and the diffs/tc every 2500-3000 miles.

 

whoa whoa, you guys are getting me wrong here. I love my EVO, and I was just concerned if this new member of ours had the same problem as I did. Thats all.

What makes you think that I dont do the same?
ahhhhh some people just think they are better than everybody without "THINKING about it twice".

 

Congrats bro I picked up my 05 VIII at the beginging of summer and all i gotta say is enjoy the car you are stepping into it is like no other. It is such a blast to drive and all of my friends and family love to ride in it haha. The way it handles and feels as you begin to mod it is awesome you will love it bro.

 

Oh.....Ok.......hahaha

 

Greddy FMIC, AGP turbo kit (real big, looks like a 60 trim), Halman MBC, HKS 272I&E, some brand name piping, cant remember which. Seems tuned for 24psi, although I may have it tuned just to be on the safe side. Theres more, just slipping my mind at the moment. The previous owner built a nice car, but I'm picking up where he left off.

I went ahead and ordered a bunch of things this week:
APR front splitter and canards
AMS small battery kit
Weapon R Torque Damper
Stance GR+ Pro Coilovers
Whiteline Ball Joints + Tie Rod Ends
Defilink Gauges
OOOO and the first thing I tossed on was a set of JDM tails I had laying around, almost forgot about that.
a whole bunch more, cant really remember, just woke up lol.

Oh, and Kim.ry, I'm sorry to here about your tranny, but mine is just fine.

 

Thats good for you
dont forget to do all the fluid change and plugs.

 

Changed the fluids and plugs and cleaned everything up on the first day. Easy for me since I have tools and 2 lifts at my disposal.

 

Welcome man!
