Hey everyone, the names Joe, from Buffalo NY. Been driving Subarus for the past 3 years and still miss my wrx. I had a 06 wrx for the past year and half and just sold it 2 weeks ago to pick up my new project/baby. An 03 Evo VIII, still sitting in my garage until I can get it registered on Monday. Needs a little work but runs pretty good.

Mostly stock except for a turbo back exhaust. I'll be getting it tuned on Tuesday by my local tuner, Mike from Innovative Tuning. He's done all my wrx tuning and have been more than happy with his shop. Just going with a conservative tune for now just so she's running healthy and I can catch up on her maintenance and fix the damn interior.

Any tips for getting rid of the smell of smoke?

Here's the only pictures I got of her so far.
Bringing her home from Syracuse yesterday.

 

An ozone generator. Wipe down all interior surfaces with APC, shampoo the carpets and run O3 for several hours with the windows closed, fan on full (recirculating). Good luck.

 

The car looks great! Good luck on the build. How did you find your evo?

 

I found it craigslist one day and just kinda ignored it then came back to it a week later and decided to go for it.

 

very nice car.. i also used febreeze in my camaro to get rid of the smoke smell

 

Congrats on the evo, GL with the build!

 

Thank you guys!

Congrats! You won't be disappointed with her!

Congrats on the new purchase! She's definetly worth it!

 

Sorry for the late welcome as I didn't see this but welcome local neighbor. Hope to see you cruising around wny.

reminds me of mine when I first got it... Good luck!

 

what type of tuneup do you get on your first visit?

 

I didn't get a tune up really. I changed the plugs, oil, trans, rear diff, and transfer case fluids prior to getting tuned. If thats what you mean.
