Thanks Odub, I read your thread and it inspired me to get an Evo.

 

i got my 03 evo not too long ago as well. 65k on it. all stock was what they told me. but nope looked at the back end and boom aftermarket exhaust. i was like hmmm, kinda wanted all stock for reliability issues. but oh well. still got it and am happy. runs good so far. i have no plans for it though as i race with my s14.

 

Bought my 2005 Evo 8 with 72k from a dealership in Tucson roughly 2.5 months ago...had full bolt ons, and running strong as ever...no whine from the t-case, no ticks from the engine, no leaks, no grinds in the tranny, smooth as hell.

Since purchasing it, I've already invested an additional $3k in mods, and I'm just getting started!

So I think you should be fine with 76k, especially if it looks to be in good condition, sounds normal, and drives great.

 

Yeah i doubt the car has been stock all of its life but, it runs smooth and there is no cuts from harness and no whine from the tcase. The reason why the seller sold the car is because he was forced to since due to buying a home. I'm planning on getting a 240sx in the future myself for a track car. How is it compared to the EVO?

 

Congrats on your car. The car should be a beast with full bolt ons right? I am just going keep my car stock as far as mod to engine but working on the exterior at the moment.

 

Im at 120k, stock block and turbo. I race it often as well. These are rock-solid cars!

 

If you wanna know the engine's health, do a compression test and a leak down test.

 

^ thanks but i have not seem to find a good shop near Sacramento.

 

PM me, I may be able to help.

 

I'm at 140k and still running great "knock on wood" lol
