got my 2003 rally red evo on feb. 28th I LOVE IT! 6 miles on it, carbon wing and sunroof, 29,000 out the door, put 12,500 of my own money down

im also 19 years old with a full time job, and also own a 2001 eclipse paid off thats my daily driver...

no probs with my evo so far, besides the scratches, though i have thrown a CEL every other week for a "bad o2 sensor", but it must be a glitch because it goes off after a while (only comes on under hard driving)

o well, i been cruising the forums for a while, glad to be here finally

 

Welcome!

 

You probably don't want to be drivinig your evo hard until you break in your car properly. That might be why you are getting a cel when you are driving hard. You shouldn't even go above 4500 rpms i believe for the first 500 miles. Have fun with the evo anyhow.

 

no no, i meant it had 6 miles on when i bought it... i have over 2700 now, and i followed proper break in procedures

 

Oh, sorry. Have you gotten that checked out by the dealership? If O2 sensor is bad they need to replace it.

 

hell yeah man i bought mine when i was 19 as well... cant say the same for the paid off eclipse... I have had mine since December 16th.........

 

yea i did, they were gonna replace it but when i brought it back up the next day the CEL was gone and stayed gone for about a 1 1/2... then it came about for 2 hours, then it was gone for another week and so on... hasnt come back on in a while though.......

 

Hey welcome glad to see some more people from the Baltimore area here

 

enjoy it.it's fun

 

o god i love it! AWD is awesome. i went threw 4 other cars before settling on the evo and its like a dream come true. i was persistent in getting it and it finally paid off

also bought over 80 bucks worth of cleaning products just so i could clean it and make it all nice and shiny
