Mod list:

ACT Clutch
HKS Blow off valve
HKS Electronic boost controller
Greddy boost gauge
Coldside piping
Mini oddessy battery (still has warrenty)
8k HIDs
Walbro 255
3" Fujitsubo exhaust
Torque Solutions base shifter bushings
Complete 2g DSM trans, tcase, and rear diff swap
Rear Ralliart strut bar (super beefy)
Front adjustable strut bar

Brand new starter
Brand new clutch master
Brand new windshield
All new fluid

Here's a walk aroound video: http://static.photobucket.com/player...418_172020.mp4

Dude thats an awesome find!
Love the old Evolutions!
Im glad I came across this thread cause I see its from Washington.
Hope everything turns out great bro.
Im cant wait to see when its done!
If I may ask, was this just sitting in a lot?
I love my IX and all, but I always wished I could get my hands on something older like this.

Dude thats sick!
Good luck on your mods bro!
Im still working on my IX as well.
Got a few things to do still.
Are there a lot of imported cars like these up in Washington?
I know someone in Washington who picked up a GT-R in their area so Im more curious now.
I might be moving up to Oregon or Washington and I would love to pick up something like this if I can.

Thanks man! I wish I could afford a newer evo also :/. And I'm actually not sure, my buddy has an evo 3 (black) here, and I think there's an evo 2 (white) here also. I'm going to be doing a photoshoot with the evo 3 once I get my fenders.

And thanks! I loove the look of the newer evos too! I want an X D:

Lol and I wish I can bring a IV GSR to the states. Thats the one I really want. That sounds sick! Hey can you please PM me the pictures when you do your shoot? I cant wait to see how it turns out. I wanna see your build progress too. You dont see these builds a lot. Even though theyre the same motor and stuff, the platform is very different. I forgot to say congrats on your purchase!
