I'm now an Evo guy! Did I get a good deal?
 
Ok after about 20k in mods to my turbo'd 2002 Civic EX... I needed something else.

I started talking to friends and going to dealerships to see what I can do. Here's the best deal I could get, to me it's a steal...

I sold my car, and made about 8k over what I owed. I sold the turbo kit for $2500. I got a 2003 Lancer Evolution in White. It has only 11k miles on it. The 12000 mile maintenence is being done tomorrow. For mods, it's nice and simple which is good, 3" Turbo XS downpipe, 3" Greddy titanium exhaust, AEM intake. For the interior, Alpine in-dash LCD, with cd changer in glove box, MB quart front components, JL 5 channel amp, and JL 10W3 sub.

Simple mods, all installed professionally. My boss/manager sold it to me at a steal I couldn't pass up. $22,000 and it was mine! 22k for an evo 8 in mint condition with only 11k miles on it.

My sponser for my civic is giving me mods for the Evo now. First thing I'm doing is the Type-S bov, with the smaller spring removed. I read on this site that that worked very well.

So what do you guys think? I'll have pictures in a week or so, need to get some smaller things sorted out for now.

Good Luck with the Evo. Wish they were available here in Canadiatown

Man the more I see parts online the more mad I am for waiting this long to get one. Why would anyone buy something else?
