If you don't buy it, let me know.

I got a friend here who is looking for an MR.

I'm looking at the Whiteline Suspension, and those darn things aren't cheap. I'm guessing this guy knew what he was doing.

Still, I would suggest a test drive, meeting the owner, and paperwork. The usual.

nice upgrades just be careful. the more stock the better, itd be better if he had paperwork for everything. the modded ones are always tempting and not saying their bad its just safer to buy stock and build up yourself. looks like a nice evo tho

looks like a nicely set up evo IMO

more mods and you'll think how has it been treated but this, it looks like a fast street car with just the right amount of mods.

mods seem to be sensible - e.g the owners looked at all aspects of the car not big turbo, stock injectors etc which might create problems.

good find IMO

Whiteline huh? Yeah he seems like a sharp guy...

If he did not have paperwork, I would be a bit disappointed and surprised to say the least. He is the second owner though...

Don't know much else... will have to speak more with him.

Thanks...

Is the "Evo green turbo" a quality upgrade? How much more boost with this?

If you really know this little about Evos maybe start with a stock one, just my .02$. You won't know how to work on this one and modding your own car is so much more gratifying.

I hear you...

My issue is that I have a wonderful wife who has helped me save money by being a bit tight fisted (I was broke when we met).

So, if I am going to get an Evo, I would prefer to get one that is already modded a bit for better performance so I can be happy and not mess too much with new mods. Explaining to my wife why I need this and why I need that is not something I want to do on a regular basis.

What stage Exedy? What brand intercooler? What brand springs/retainers? But other than those it seems like quality parts.l
