It took some doing, but I am the proud new owner of this car




I dont have any of my own pics yet, due to it being pitch black after I got it, but there will be more to come. I love it, and Ive only driven it 10 miles so far.

2003 Evo 8, SSL package
110,000 miles
Pretty much all the bolt ons done already
26 psi peak boost on an Evo 9 hybrid turbo

Not sure on the plans for the 2g yet...But I will say this...Steve Overmier.... 2013 DSM shootout: STI vs EVO..... >: )

Giddyup!

Nice!

Very clean for the mileage. Youll definitely love it, im going on almost 6yrs since getting mine am about to hit 100k this week, the car is still all stock and I still love it. Now it's time for you to look into local hpde events. As for your 2gnt, After I got my evo the 2gnt got parted out and the shell sold for scrap

Thanks guys. Im not totally certain of the future of the 2gnt, but for the near future it isnt going anywhere, it doesnt even have an ECU at the current time. Obviously with a car payment and full coverage on this thing Im not going to be buying a whole lot of parts for anything.

You forgot to mention the added cost of maintaining a 4g63 =) RIVALRY!!!

If the car is in good condition, it's really not that bad. I've probably spent around $500/yr to maintain my car over 6 years including tires

It was pretty well taken care of. Only launched at the track twice, no douchebag stoplight to stoplight launching. Trans and Tcase oil changed at the beginning of every year, although Im going to change it again soon because he used Lucas and gear oil instead of Diaqueen and super diaqueen, so it doesnt shift as smooth as it should. Other than that though, Im hoping it doesnt eat me alive in maintenance.

The tires, though, I will probably have to find used. It has 18" Infinity G35 wheels on it, but I have the stock 17 Enkeis too, and Im going to get tires for them.

Haha yup it has flown.

Did you buy your 9 new? I really was looking for a 9, but they were still pretty pricey, and at the end of the day an Evo is an Evo, badass no matter how you look at them.
