greetings! soon to be new evo owner from WA

greetings all,
i've been on the forums for awhile now just browsing, but i wanted to finally introduce myself. name is tony, recently relocated from san diego, ca to seattle, wa. i love cars, both import and domestic, but i'm biased towards imports of course

i used to own a 2002 wrx, which was my pride and joy for awhile - pushed about 320whp on the stock block, bolt on everything, alky injected. it was fun while it lasted, but it got boring after awhile so i sold it.

that's when i started looking at dsm's, not particularly the evo. so i bought a 91 galant vr4, and built her with a stage 2 slowboy block, fp red, etc. still a project car, but i'm not sure if i'm going to keep her.

i stumbled upon a local craigslist ad advertising this evo, and so i called the owner and put down an offer. offer was accepted, and i'm about to pick the car up in a week. it is a used evo 8 with a full built 2.4, currently running about 500+whp. i'm definitely going to baby it for awhile until i get used to such a high hp car. the evo is going to be a weekend warrior with the occasional road race/autocross/drag since I have a track near my house.

anyways, i'll post pics up soon and i look forward to being part of the "dark side"


the ol' scooby (wrx):



the project (vr4):


the DD (eg hatch fully built b18 LSVTEC N/A)



the new whip (evo): coming soon!

Good to see another NW Evo owner (or soon to be)

English Racing and ETS are both in your neck of the woods. Shouldn't be hard to get parts if you need em.

Thats always good to know youre buying a car from someone that knew what he was doing with it. Peace of mind is key!

i'm sure i'll run into some nice evo owners. it's weird, but back in california, most of the subaru owners i knew were pretty nice. out here, they seem to be on the young side and, dare i say it, ricers.
