Hi everyone, new guy here from arkansas in the process of buying my first evo. Car is a legal evo 1 for sale on the forums here by themadsupra. Already put my deposit down on the car and hopefully be able to pick it up this weekend (3600 mile round trip). Ive built a couple of cars over the years, kat 240, k swapped ek hatch, single turbo 350z, and owned a crapbox 2012 sti at one point . After reading in the forums and seeing the potential of these cars i have high hopes. Ill post an update this weekend and be looking forward to all the knowledge here, it looks like ill need it

 

Hey, Welcome Aboard Am i reading this correctly? An EvO1?

Certainly w/your previous car project experience, you are a great candidate to take on an EvO

Joe

 

Thats correct a 1992 lancer evo gsr Not looking to make it anything crazy maybe 350-400 wheel. Should be pretty quick being how light they are

 

Thats amazing. That EvO is certainly a rare bird, especially here in the states. Must be RH Driver?

Once you get it, you will certainly have to post some pics of it. We do have a dedicated forum for projects if you plan on restoring or making numerous mods

Rh drive it is. Yeah ill for sure be posting up numerous photos of progress on the car. Looks like most parts from the us gvr4, mirage, and the canada dodge colt will work so hopefully getting parts wont cost me a fortune haha

 

Got the car over the weekend. That was one hell of a drive but worth it. Very fun car to drive, couldnt imagine one with 400+ wheel. Needs a few things here and there but overall its pretty clean. First thing ill do is pick up some e3 front lip and side skirts along with all the basic maintenance

 

if i had one of these I would go fully built and keep it sleeper on the outside

 

What area in Arkansas you from man?
I’m from NWA

 

Hey, Welcome aboard & thanks for posting. Im not the OP, but I do know many of you AR folk, but in NEA (Paragould)

 

Ah ok cool! I’m new to the Evo scene, just trying to gather new friends aha. Any meets in AR?
