Well i have been lurking on the forum for about 2 months now. I have been watching CL and auto trader tyring to find a good deal on an evo.
Finally I ran into one on CL, made the 180 mile trip to Aburn and picked it up.
its an 03, when i picked it up it had 39,900 miles.
had a few mods on it:
Perring FMIC
10.5 Hot side
Forge MBC
Forge BOV
some kind of JDM exhaust thats nice a quiet
After market o2 housing
Apexi Intake
Walbro Fuel pump
tien lowering springs
JIC coil overs for the front only

All of the mods were on the car less than 500 miles.

Here are a few pics:







As some people may notice, the car is a rebuilt title from CA, it was stolen, in the process they took the hood, front bumper, wheels, and interior pieces and left the car. unfortunatally the painter didnt match up some areas too perfect, but the price was right so i couldnt complain.
Let me know what you think

Get tuned, and get a front lip!

 

yea as soon as my old DD honda sold, i will be making a trip to English racing, I talked to a couple of the guys from there when they came to my local track like 2 weeks ago.
and i plan to get possibly a CF front lip, any opinons?

how much did you pick it up for? I can' t even see the pics; I'm at work and will have to wait till I get home.

 

well i ended up getting it for 11,800..

whats nice is the payment is only 215 bux, and my insuracne isnt too bad either.

 

So you got an evo at a HONDA price! lol nice one

 

yea so far its all good, gas mileage is to be desired lol, english racing said a tune would prolly get it above 26 since im only getting 18-20. after the first 3 fill ups i quit checking. the AC works great too.
Its the first car i have had with working AC. i took the AC out of my honda because i put a swap in it and it didnt work anyways, and my rx7s AC didnt work so it got removed to make way for the FMIC.
so its nice to get off work and have AC for once.. lol

 

HAHA I just took mine off last week! go 1 HP

 

well i bought the evo for my DD, so i plan to keep it in there.... lol

 

Deal. Good luck with everything

 

well we will see. im not shooting for much HP, I plan to leave the stock cams for drive ablility, and ill prollly just keep the stock turbo thats on it and just get it tuned, im hoping to see over 300hp to the ground with the mods it has. i dont think that will be too much to sacrifice reliability or drive ability..

 

nice! i just removed mine over the weekend, ill never need or use it and love how it cleaned up the engine bay

 

Hell ya! It really cleaned up the engine bay! Did you ever run meth on the stock turbo before the green? Also what cc Meth Fogger you running?

 

Nice man! congrats on finding a twinkie I love yellow very rare to see! good luck with your tune man, Maybe I'll see ya when Im down there, BTW a lip for the front should definantly be in the near future

 

Yellow isn't my favorite color on any car really, but good deal on a low mileage VIII! Did you get the vehicle inspected for any chassis damage? Was it strictly a joy ride/stolen parts? That is the best kind of rebuilt title.
