Willub's 03 Evo 8
 

Hey guys and gals. I just picked up a bone stock (minus some shifter/diff bushings) Silver 03 evo 8 for my daily driver needs :) Car has 102k miles on it and is really clean.

As you can see, I'm a "Subaru guy". Lol. I bought the sti four years ago as a daily driver and it turned into a dedicated autocross machine. Back then it was between an evo and an sti, so why not have both now? :) Anyway, some plans for the evo are as follows.

Re-paint the brembos
Update the heater gears/cable stuff
Boost gauge

That's about it for now. Any and all suggestions are welcome of course. Thanks for looking :)

Yea, we'll see about that:lol:

Nice combo, sold my 07 STi year and half ago. Going down to look at 04 WW RS tomorrow, what fender flares are those on Subaru? Karlton flares?

lol, I know. I said I was going to keep the STi stock until it was paid off. That lasted maybe two months. :lol:
Nice. Yeah Karltons. The lower piece for the bumper came off after nailing a cone at my last autox and I've been lazy about putting it back on :rolleyes:

Nice, I am actully with Karlton. He's helping me out towing my car!

Oh cool, tell him I said he makes some nice fender flares! :lol:

I got the updated heater gear/lever doohickeys and cable, just need to get around to installing them. Also my CEL popped on yesterday :( Luckily it's just a P0441, Evap purge flow fault, or whatever lol. Anything that commonly causes this code on these cars? I looked at the gas cap and the seal looks ok to me. Haven't had a chance to look at the associated vac lines yet.

Welcome. Cars look great. Check the lines. Usually that's the problem.

Thanks :) Cool, thanks for the info. I'm hoping that's all it is.

Looks clean

Thanks

Popped in the new heater lever things. Hoorah for a heater knob that will actually turn! What a terrible design lol. The CEL has hasn't come back on yet either :) So far I'm liking this thing. It's quite odd not being able to hear the exhaust/engine, so I have some issues with rev matching :lol: Might need a cat back exhaust. That's a good excuse right?

And so it begins... :lol:

Have fun with it!

might as well get an O2 housing and downpipe...while youre in there...lol

...and some headers, turbo, fuel injectors, fuel pump, cams... Yeah I know how this goes :lol:

Random stupid question. Are these cars supposed to have a third brake light? It's a law, right? I see a wiring harness going to nothing on the underside of my trunk. Remember, the car had a smaller wing on it that may have contained the light. Is the original supposed to be inside behind/above the back seat? I'm not worried about it, just curious. :)

Yessir there's supoosed to be a third brake light above/behind the rear seats {thumbup}

Car looks clean by the way!
