Hey all, I am interested in maybe purchasing this EVO I found on Autotrader and I was wondering if anyone possibly new the previous owner. I'd like to get some info. The car looks clean on the pictures but it looks like its pretty moderately modded. Any help would be appreciate it. I tried to hyperlink the entire link to the post but it was way long so I put the car ID number from Autotrader. The link below is just to the pics of the car and the last one is from the dealer of where the car was apparently traded into. The car is located in Florida if that helps.


AT Car ID: AT-F054ECA

idk, i wonder what turbo is in it. can see it through the grill.

 

I cannot tell the type of wheels either, the add says the car is on Tein Coilovers but thats it... hopefully other members will chime in and find out more info on it. I would assume that with this many mods, the owner would definitely be here on this forum.

 

With the turbo mounted like that and the size of it, I'm going to venture to say that a "mild" build has happened. If you cant' get every last bit of info about this car I would stay away.

 

6spd + Florida + ebay looking ugly front end mods = Stay Away!

 

lol, i agree all the way. i wouldnt buy another one unless it was stock, or if i was gonna let it sit and build the hell out of it. but thats just me

 

No intake on the turbo, Aftermarket ECU, be leary and get as much info as you can on the car.

You certainly would not want to daily drive that thing with the turbo like that and no filter. Straight drag racer. The front end looks like **** too

 

thanks alot everyone, I have an STI now lightly modded and will probably sell it on my own this coming spring. I am torn between the new X and a used IX. For some reason I like the looks of the IX over the X. I plan to do some mods myself to whatever EVO I end up with but unlike STIs, I still learning bout EVOs. I can look any STI and tell if its been modded.

 

NO filter on the turbo, idk about that one

 

mods feel free to close out this thread, I purchased a IX MR. Thx for everyones post and help.
