New 04 Evo RS Owner. Updated Few Pics

Hi.
Never mind the nick name, I made an account here long time ego when I was looking to get an 06 MR.

I dont know what has been done to the Engine, as i stated before i bought this car in horrible condition, I'm slowly finding time to look in to it more.

My name is Marc and I'm an new 04 EVO RS owner. Unfortunately I didn't buy new Evo, I bought a wrecked Evo, I will be rebuilding this vehicle like I did my 04 Subaru STI which is currently daily driver.

Here is my blog, No time to update it as of lately I was busy = www.TeamEvoSti.com .

I'm trying to build this Evo to be my weekend warrior, took me a while but Paint job is done, a lot of work still needs to be done. I just need intercooler and to fix exhaust leak then TUNE this bad boy so i can drive it, i haven't driven the car since i bought it.

Maybe someone here owned this EVO before It got Purchased by me. It's from California. Original vehicle color is White, but someone did a very bad job painting the whole car with PRIMER on top of original white paint, without properly prepping it first.
Whole car needs repainting at this point, + few little things need attending too.

I already found few used parts, I want to get the car started to see what I'm working with here

I will need a lot of little parts. Like Engine Wiring harness etc... Exhaust Header, turbo, BOV, FMIC. I will PM few sellers soon.

Car has 95K miles but for me it does not matter as I will be doing new 2.1L Strocker Engine with Foraward Facing turbo Etc... I will be posting updates.

FYI: FOREIGNER here so no grammar jokes please.


Updated 01/14/12

Waiting for Wheels to Fit before continuing further. Rota Grids 18x9.5 +20 are in with 255/35/18 hankook V12 tires

Paint work finally finished, after all this time. Waiting on Intercooler from ETS 4" Black.

Nice pickup. Before you start modding, take a grammar class. Your writing needs serious work.

I have seen way, way worse on this forum.

Least he put it in "paragraphs" and it wasn't just one big block of words. I hate that.

I like Graphite Grey, this would be my FAV color, when i was buying the vehicle on the picture they posted at the Manheim Auto Auctions that it was Grey. When I got the car it was PRIMER, LOL. Well it's all good tho.
