Dookgvr4 3rd Evo is the charm....

Long time memeber and multiple Evo owner. (3) Started off owning a 98 eclipse gs-t. Graduated to a galant vr-4 then multiple other cars including a supra tt and 03 cobra mustang. I always come back to the Evo. This is the last one!

So I had some must haves if it was going to be the last one.

-LOW Miles
-White
-Affordable
-Southern car
-gsr (5-speed)

I preferred a ix.... but I accomplished all of my other prerequisites so I purchased my current car.

A "stock" 05 gsr with 24,000 miles on the clock.

On all of my previous cars I purchased and did very little to them or they were done enough that I didn't have to do much. Not the case with this car as it was pretty much stock. So I get to follow my own path.

Jdm rear and a Appropriate exhaust were a must have!

Car is super clean underneath. Nothing more than I hate than rusted bolts etc.

Always wanted a FP turbo. Stock frames seem to be dying off.

Woke up one day a while back, seen this posted by FP. I had to jump on it.

"Last One" FP54

Nice car! Extremely clean and low mileage. I can't to see what that FP54 will do.

Did the car not come with foglights?

Nice find ! Super clean.

If I where you , I'd get the underbody completely covered like most of the super cars. Helps with aero and keep things cleaner .
