im looking into an 03 evo and want to know if this mileage is too much to modify it. and also i know jap cars usually go for a long time but im just wondering how long will it last? i know it depends a little on the previous driver but im just wondering. im looking to get a fp green and a bunch of supporting mods but no camshafts ooro anthing like that. also will i have to upgrade the tranny? i drive very conservatively and usually only punch my car if someone wants to race which is often because i live in the woods. thanks

 

i have 51k on my 03 and i have enough mods with no problems... i had more problems stock than what i do now... lol

 

im pushing 57k.. not one problem! and modded out!

 

haha good cuz i wanna pt a green injectors fuel pump full exhaust intercooler and intake in there but need it for about 4 years as a daily ddriver. how for will my stock trainy go if i drive "Carefully"

 

59k on mine and i track it regularly. decent mods.

tranny's on an 03 suck but if it has that many miles than im guessing the syncro's have already been replaced. if so then u will be fine.

 

I have almost 82k on my 03 no problems at all

 

 

All I am saying is that many(hundreds or thousands) or DSM owners actually put mods on their high mileage 4G63 which happen to be even weaker than the Evo engines.. with that said I think 54000 miles on the Evo is not bad at all.

Thank you!! just my thoughts as well.

i just rolled 55k miles last night and have owned mine for two years and she's still running strong...only major problem was replacing the clutch at 15k miles but i was retarded and launched it hard.

 

ah 96k on my car - tracked all the time...still working great.

 

Where is this car that you are looking at?

 

54k is nothing on an evo. its comparable to 150K on american motors

 

good...i need to sell my wrx. its to friggen slow....now i just need to find a sick deal on an evo and itll be great....i found a few for 18500 which is the max ill pay but i gotta sacrifice with a little higher mileage

 

I am a little over 64k miles on my car....still pulling strong....just did a compression test on it yesterday and they motor is still solid....and yes, that is the original motor...
