Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
Purchased my first Evo from a private seller in November 2010. I flew out to Chicago, IL, to pick it up. Car ended up having a bad rod bearing and required the engine to be rebuilt. Seeing as the engine was going to be completely rebuilt, I opted for a stroker kit, and GRD Performance of Villa Park, IL, got the job done. The rest is history. They did take forever to get the job done though.
