Another new '03 Evo

[goodhart]

Buschur exhausts look the best on Evo's IMO, very mild looking I guess you could say.

Congrats on the purchase, sorry to see the head situation. Cores aren't cheap, but we've got a few here I believe if need be just let me know.

[awd-drifter]

Very nice. hopefully you get it up and roaring soon :D

[twack]

is that damage from blowing the head gasket or from continued driving after it blew. it looks like 123abc's head on his 1g

Sweet!!! Lemme know if you ever need a hand!

Steve Hill with a car that isn't as old as he is, I never thought I'd see the day. ;)

That's some crazy detonation. Any chance of it being welded up and milled down?

Thanks d-bag, this car is just as old as my GSX was when I bought it. :D

Well, after some diagnosis at MAP, we've decided to start with a used core and transfer my springs, valves and such to that and give it a performance rebuild, so I should be back on the road by next weekend.

Wow, coming from the ultra cheap world of DSM parts, the sticker shock on Evo stuff stings a little, but you gotta pay to play. And it's still cheaper than Lotus stuff, so it's all good. Can't wait to get this baby on the road. :drive:

Any pics of the outside of the car? Where did you find it anyways? Private sale? I don't recall seeing this on evomn or EvoM?

Sure, here's it's current state, and as suggested by Carl, a full shot with my collection, all cleaned up ready for the show circuit. :D

It wasn't advertised that I know of. I found out about it and happened to be in the right place at the right time. I owned a black 2005 SSL for about two hours before this, but this will be my first chance to actually get to drive one.
