I traded in an AWD '92 DSM 6-4 combo for my '03 Evo. Driving off in my new Evo I thought, "This feels like my '92 with everything fixed I didn't like." Not knocking my '92, it took me through some bad places and times.

The one thing the '92 had that the Evo doesn't is gas mileage. It would go 400 miles on a tank.

Anyway, congrats on having both.

 

lol, that car's ready to fly. be careful driving it. gotta get used to the power

 

Handling the power is no problem, I have a buddy who has an LS1 twin turbo Camaro that dynoed 889 hp. He usually comes over and has me drive him around and beat on his car so he can feel the power from the passanger seat.

His car is on Facebook on Cincy Speeds page if anyone wants to see for themselves, it is Johns 01 Camaro and it is the black SS. Thanks for the welcome everyone, I can't wait to get the car.

 

Congrats on the Evo. Hope you enjoy her!

 

Impressive purchase congrats, twin turbo SS you say? hmm. Race him "legaly" then post results,
iam sure we'd all be interested on how far behind youd be lol.

 

Congrats bud.

 

I would probably beat him. He will not buy a strong rear end or good tires, and the car spins like crazy until 4th gear. We always give him a hard time because he will dump tons of money in high dollar motor parts but not in tires or stronger rear end. He still has the stock 10 bolt 7.5" rear.

 

Looks like a clean car. I see he kept the AC with his turbo setup as well. If he ever put a sticky tire on that car he would probable break the rearend backing out of the driveway making that kinda power. Tell him to man up and put a 12 bolt in the car!

 

congrats!

 

Agreed. You would kill him off the line. We might not be able to catch you in a 1/4 mile. Anyhow, congrats on the EVO and welcome.

 

Nice, I checked that one out on craigslist but decided to go with a stock lower mileage one instead.

 

We keep telling him to buy a built 9" that is made to just bolt right in the car, but he keeps saying he doesn't want to lose his ABS. I don't see how it hasn't broken the rear yet, that is an awful lot of power. I would be afraid an axle might pass me up one day while getting on it. The car is SPOTLESS with only 38,000 miles.

 

Oh I see, yea all power and no control is the muscle car formula, still thats one fast *** chevy.
thanks for the pics!

 

Guys I have a question on the rear view mirrow on the windshield. The PO had a new windshield installed and the bracket for the mirror was already on there, the problem is it is a little wider than the original mirror so now we can't mount it. Does anyone know if the mirror brakcet from a IX is different from an VIII? I doubt it but I don't know. Looks like I might have to go to the stealership which is like 45 mins. away from me and but the piece that is glued to the windshield. Thanks.

 

I added some pics. to my first post for you guys, and I found my rear view mirror problem, regular lancer windsheild.
