Long time lurker from Phoenix (pic heavy)

Hello everyone, been on these forums for a while. Always wanted an evo so when I got the opportunity I pulled the trigger on my 2003 Evo. Always been I guess you could say a "car guy" so I will post pictures of my old vehicles also. Just been daily driving since I bought it with a few minor hick ups. Anyways here are the pictures.

Second car ever owned:2002 Sentra Spec-V

Than bought a old MK3 Supra, blew the motor and when I sold it had built internals (first motor I ever built) with a larger turbo. Kinda wish I didn't sell this sometimes..


Well the 7MGTE motor was super unreliable so I sold the MK3 and bought a SC300 with plans to swap it (2JZGTE)

But ended up being a daily with good suspension, brakes and wheels. Super slow too BTW but had decent MPGs.


Than I ran into this 1997 Outback Sport for $900. Had a destroyed fender and hood and black "steelies." But for the price I couldn't say no. Here it is after some TLC. This was seriously one of the best cars ever, super cheap, and did not care about messing it up. Still miss this little beater.

Than I begged a man in Tucson to let me buy his 2000 2.5RS after he had bought a new 2012 WRX. Super clean car inside and out. Did end up swapping it myself (2004 WRX 2.0L).

Before (stock 2.5L)

Pulling the old motor out

WRX motor running and everything cleaned up in the bay

First time on the rollers getting tuned (stock TD04 with bolt ons, car was so light that it was so much fun driving this around town)

First time I did RallyX, was a blast and learned a lot about car control in the dirt.

Ended up getting a flat and did not have a spare. Flat bed from Tucson to Chandler FTW.

Doing my first HPDE event at firebird and again broke some parts.


Guy from New Mexico flew in and made me an offer on the 2.5RS that I could not refuse and ended up selling it. Got the itch for a truck and got this brodozer 04 Titan.


Than a buddy of mine told me about an Evo that I could possibly buy from Phuong (Wingz Performance). Went to his house drove the car once and fell in love. Ended up buying it from him few days later. Thanks again!

Since I bought it I have not had the time to really mess with it (thanks work and school schedules) so it pretty much sits like this now minus the wheels are now a dark gray metallic done by yours truly.
Here I am at Morgan’s house detailing our cars.

How she sits today.






Took a long time to get all the pictures lined up (15+ pages of Photobucket) but you got to see my old cars.

Thanks! -Ozzy

The lack of double pumper is my limiting factor right now before turning the juice up. But before I do that I want to order the Spoolin COP kit, redo my catch can setup, and do some other little maintenance things.
