New Evo owner as of last week. Was looking at an Sti, but it was an easy trade in of my 2002 Toyota MR2 for this low mileage Evo.

If anybody knows the history of this car, I would be interested to hear it. It's a 2004 GSR SSL that has 33k miles on it, still has a forged BOV, boost gauge and cone filter on the vehicle. I suspect it had other mods also. The wheels that were on it were black painted stock wheels with some road rash. I had the dealer switch them with the wheels of another Evo on the show floor. I suspect it might have had a hard first life so I plan on replacing all the fluids and checking everything out.

I'm looking to slowly work this car towards a BSP Autocross car/ daily driver. I just need some nice 18x10 wheels :)

Welcome!

Just curious, why'd you trade your MR2? I really like those cars.

German/Irish Thank you.


I got sick of always having a beater car in the winter. I was planning on driving the MR2 year round this year. Getting in an out of a very small car every day with my bad back (22, it's sad really) it was taking a toll. I figured just getting married and with my back, that it be best to get something with four doors. And fun in the winter is a must! Which is why AWD and a turbo come in.

did you buy that car a walser mitsu, cause I was lookin at that car a couple weeks ago and when I first got there, they said that it wasnt for sale because it didnt pass inspection, and then they told me about the accident that it was in.

There was curb rash on one of the rear wheels. Before I got it, they replaced pads and rotors all the way around, and the right lower control arm. I looked at the oil change sticker and it is about 150 miles from where I got it at meaning a lot junkie probably took it for a drive.

did they tell you about the front end accident? What did you end up paying for it?
