Hello my name is Zach and im from Ohio. been in love with evo's since i first saw them back in 02. Being in high school at the time there was no way that i could get one. Being 21 now, im making it my goal to get one as soon as i can. I know some of the mods i even want to do when i get my car. Hope to learn alot and maybe even help a few people out along the way

GL man with finding one. I was in the same boat you were in high school. I have always loved them and told myself I would get one. Bought one when I turned 20 last year the day after. I love and couldn't be happier.

Well right now i got to college full time and work like 30 hours aweek. so it would have to be one kinda cheep. I found a 03 with 77000 miles on it that is stock all but catback and intake. but for 14995. that i would like to get but i need to sell my car first, and the odds are that it will be gone by the time mine is sold. Im looking for around a 03 04, 05 if the price is right would like to still have money to pay for mods.

Welcome kid, glad to hear that ur lookin for an evo. Its a great choice and I'm sure you can ask most anyone on here and they'll tell you that you'll never look back. Its a great car. I got mine when I was 23. If you keep your priorities right and your money in check, you'll have no problem affording one. Good luck on your search and make the search button a good friend of yours

so i didn't want to start a new page so i thought i would just ask here. i have been reading about bov and people say the best bet is the evo 9 bov. but i want to know why the hks ssqv. is not good on evos thanks
the stock Bov could hold up to 26 psi (i think) and u don't have to boost that high till your built and tuned, it's the best for stock car or lightly modded. Most SSQV is VTA and it will make the car idle weird and run much richer then stock (although stock is way rich too). I personally have a SSQV recirculated, only because my friend borrowed my stock one and sold his car.....
well I have it tuned and everything, but when I am boosting on the HKS recirculate it seems to hold the boost better. you feel full right away when u boost, on the stock one i couldn't really feel it. I am gonna get a Forge Bov next, most people run them if they don't run the stock ones.
