Nice!
I'll have to get some current pics uploaded. The wife and I have been living in apartment the past few years, but now that we'll have a proper garage, I can't wait to start workin on the ol' girl again.

16 years later...
The scratches some random person put in the side of my car a while back are finally gone. The car is now old enough for the state of Vermont to not care about the Buschur exhaust. And with (only!) 111k I think Allison is ready to enjoy some mid-life upgrades.
To start, I brought her up to 2011 with a fancy-shmancy bluetooth/Alexa enabled Kenwood head unit. Next I really want to work on cleaning up the engine bay. Beyond that I haven't really decided...I'm still waiting for that stock 6 speed to die like everyone told me it would over a decade ago Speaking of which, maybe I should reply to some comments...
Never had any issues with the car having 44 miles on it off the lot.
Like I said, wasn't beaten to death; that was a joke. Not a single major malfunction or issue in all of her 111k miles.
Still looks the same, and still the same manifold. I'm thinking maybe it wasn't rust?
Anyhoo, still love this car...though she's not exactly a "newborn" any more.

Wow, I am so out of the loop.
After I get the acd pump sorted I'm going to look into coilers. I think @MinusPrevious (??) recommended Fortune Auto 510s, is that right? I know the Gears & Gasoline folks recommended them at one time. Still a good bet?

@rane The thread lives brother! Great to see you still have the EvO
Hey, im no c/o expert, i have just had a good experience w/FA & really like their business model of working direct w/the customer & valving / springing & dyno'g your order.
I still have my 510's sprung at 10K/12K w/Swift springs & the radial bearing kit. I dont track anymore but they run super well on the street

Ooh yeah, 16 years now...like I said, I've known the car longer than I've known my wife haha.
I was just outside working on getting the front bumper off and had a bolt head snap right off. Definitely due for some TLC. Thanks for the heads up on FA. I'll hit them up when I reach the coilover stage.
