Alright so first off, hi everyone.
I'm in the market for a new car, and i stumbled upon a Yellow 2003 Evo in town. Only has 31k on it. So obviously this grabbed my attention. SO i have a couple questions before i actually talk numbers with the guy and take it for a drive.

First off is this a evo 7 or 8?...it looks like an 8 but i always thought the 7s were produced in 03.

And the big question. What kind of problem areas should i look for? This car does have some modifcations to it, just from a visual inspection, its lowered and has exhaust. Did have some tuning stickers on it so either he thought the stickers would add some hp, or the car was tuned at some point.

I asked the guy if there was any misfire problems (i must have read it somewhere) and he said that it had a misfire when he drove it that morning. So im assuming its either just a plug or coil?

Any help will be much appreciated guys, thanks!!
