Thoughts? Anyone seen this car in person?

looks pretty good...maybe he is an member on the forum...

 

sweet looking car

 

looks nice. 422hp huh?

 

He isnt the first owner and he doesnt seem to have all his facts straight about the car.

It made 422whp before it was out of fuel, but it really needs larger injectors and a pump. It got turned down to about 375 or so.

I can tell you what we did and what ETS did. They did the turbo kit, we did the clutch, springs, tune, oil changes, etc. when Claude owned it. Then it went to a dealership, now apparently it went to Larry.

 

See, that's legit, you ask around a bit, and you get a straight up answer from the people who did the work on the car. Wish I had that when I bought my car.

 

Yeah, its a clean "looking" Evo.

But the second owner probably bought it, beat the crap out of it, and now is trying to sell it.

Usually if a car is less than 3 years old and has 3+ owners, I stay away from it.

 

It was lean past 19psi or something like that so I would ask how much boost he normally runs on the street. We did the gauge installs as well, I knew there was something else I didnt remember earlier.

 

I've sent him a couple of emails with questions but have not seen a reply.

 

hmmmm sketchy... not to mention its almost 30g's

EDIT: his wheels are hot tough. ill buy those!!! :P

 

I spoke with the new owner a couple times on the phone. He was trying to find out the facts on the car and what was done. The car was purchased from an auction by a dealership who sold it to an employee. That's my understanding.

The last shop to touch the car was EAT Motorsports up north.

Thanks,

Michael

 

Yeah, I don't want to go anywhere near that Evo.

 

EAT isn't the worst shop...but who knows, like stated before, you know hes ripped on that car, I mean who wouldn't, I bet he got a great deal on it, then hes going to sell it for what he thinks its still worth.

 

I'm not talking about the shops, I'm worried about the owners. No one buys a car like an Evo for a couple months and "eases on the driving".
