New owner of 2003 evo 8
Well I've always wanted an evo, but it's never the right time to buy one. With wife's permission I decided to try get my first evo.
On 2/14/12 we picked up a 2003 evo 8, with 61k miles and a sunroof. I never realized how hard it would be to find one and I think I over paid, but at this point I can't spend too much time traveling and looking for one. It wasnt my color of choice but maybe I'll upgrade to an evo 9 in few years. Here are some iPhone pics:
Car came with an empty tank ofcourse
After a slight car wash
This is my other car:
This an old vid, was breaking it in:

Seller wasn't very helpful so I have to find out everything about the car the hard way (mods, problems, etc)
Mods I seen so far:
Injen uicp
Hks ssqv (replacing with mr bpv ASAP)
Ams fmic
Intake (no brand?)
Full exhaust
o2 housing
Useless gauges and some audio stuff that I'll be selling
Tein springs
Enkie wheels
Hks turbo timer
I don't know what cams the car has, claimed to have upgraded ones.
Car is running 26-28 psi on stock 9.8 turbo
Things I plan on doing soon:
Evo 9 turbo
Ets Licp
Bpv valve
Replace all fluids
60k service (will be doing it myself, a bit scared lol)
Clean EVERYTHING
replace rear brakes and adj. hand brake
Re-tune (maybe go e85)
Wondering if map ported intake and exhaust manifolds will be worth it.
Any more tips/suggestions?

Subi is a toy, always in pieces lol.
It has:
Full 07 sti swap (gas tank, steering, suspension, hubs, dash, etc)
No interior
Recaro spg seats
8/10k coils
27mm front & rear bars
Soon will have 1.5xtr turbo on e85 or just a small 20g on e85.
