Please allow me to introduce myself.

Hello, My name is Paulo and I am currently in the market for an EVO. I'm coming from the subaru world which i enjoyed very much but it's time for something new. Evos can be made fast fairly cheap and thats what attracts me about them. I've owned several super imports in the past (supra,skyline,rx7s) but the AWD, 4 door platform has always allured me. That and the fact I have a family to drive around with me. Anyways here are some pictures of my current ride which will be replaced by an 03-04 evo soon.

Welcome. Incredible STI. Hopefully your great taste carries over to the Evo.

Mnay might argue with me but I wouldn't change a 07 STI for a 03-04 Evo, sorry but the STI is a hair better.
Now if you say 05 Evo 8 or 06' Evo 9 then I would say go ahead. I just think the 03-04 is just one step bellow a 07 STI, sorry, not hating but I think I am being fairi my statements.

Besides all that, your STI simply looks bad a$$.

+1...go straight for the 06 Evo. That is one hell of an STI. I used to own one. I LOVE the white, and I LOVE the s204 wheels. So sexy. 06-07 STI's are awesome cars and you will be dissapointed getting an 03-04 evo.

hmm...almost had me fooled with the STI decal on the door. Well seeing as how that's not an STI, you may be happy with any evo. Still a sexy car anyhow...but I noticed from the sideskirts, and also the rear quarter panel on an STI bumps out a tad above the wheel. Also got the 4-pot brakes which is a dead give away.

hyaboosta is right, me and my friend (who has an 07 sti, both were stock except for exhaust) had a little "run in" and he just barely started pulling at the very top of 4th, they seemed dead even up until then. i have an 03. i'd keep the sti, unless you're getting a newer evo like previously stated (ix or x)

uhm... that's not an STi. That's a 06-07 WRX. Look at the calipers, they're red. The OEM STi are gold. Second, the STi come with that mini roof spoiler, that doesn't have it, and it's a PITA to remove it because you will have holes in your quarter panel.

Welcome... If you can pull it off financially try and find a clean IX. I see your a bit of a wheel *****, you'll have plenty of options here. There are always tons of Evo guys regularly swapping wheels...

Good Luck
