My plans over the winter are to enjoy the hell out of it and probably gather some parts for spring time

-5spd trans swap
-turbo swap of some type
-Oil pressure gauge
And probably alot more if I continue to work a bunch of OT

Re: Round 3
 

Did a couple things over the weekend, relocated my radio to the lower spot and ordered a gruppe s bezel. For the time being I have my gauges in a homemade gauge holder kinda like the gruppe s one. I also picked up a new sony head unit with amber back lighting to better match my gauge lighting
Here are some current pictures of the car after work today

Re: Round 3
 

Car looks very nice, dare i say a bit racecar-ish with the new CF lid.

Re: Round 3
 

Clean car for the mileage. This is by chance Chris Careys old evo is it?

Re: Round 3
 

I beleive its is Carey's old car.

Looks super nice. I love carbon on white cars.

Re: Round 3
 

Yes it is

Re: Round 3
 

Little update,
Bought the Gruppe S gauge pod and relocated the radio to the lower din. I just recieved the Gruppe S today and did the gauge relocate over the weekend with a homemade bezel I had from years ago for the time being

Re: Round 3
 

I just bought it from him. Wanna buy it? I got it for sale!

Re: Round 3
 

Little update,My rear diff seals were leaking so I figured since I needed them replaced I should have ron do the rear diff mod. The end result was awesome, I took the car out in a nice dry open lot and I have to say this thing is awesome now. I also picked up goodharts rear diff cover with sight glass.
Here are a couple pictures I took

Re: Round 3
 

Glad to hear you got it fixed up and better than stock.

Re: Round 3
 

I think i saw thing then a 1 week or two ago on highway 61 and beam. I was trying to catch it but i was in a slow ass lexus lol.

Re: Round 3
 

Nothing new with the car except getting incredibly shitty gas mileage, 12.7mpg last fill up and I drive mostly highway to work everyday. I'm gonna go back to 92 octane. I'm starting to really not enjoy driving this car, the car runs great and has more than enough power as is. I just don't see me wanting to spend the money on the 5spd swap to enjoy it on the track this summer.

Re: Round 3
 

Sounds like time to sell it.

I couldn't imagine getting that shit MPGs in anything, even full size pickups get better than that.

Re: Round 3
 

I thought you would of sold this by now. But looks like it will be for sale soon.

Re: Round 3
 

HMM, How much? :)

Re: Round 3
 

lol as is 15500 with everything I own evo related. Nada is still 18600 on this

Re: Round 3
 

Now I expect kracka,spaz,kevin,shane, etc say something about me even thinking about selling my car. HAHA

Re: Round 3
 

It looks great going down the highway, but from what you told me even if it got 20mpg, I still think you would be happier in something else maybe more practical for your interests.

Re: Round 3
 

Yup, pretty much aaron. I'm thinking about taking a break from car stuff for a couple years at least.

Re: Round 3
 

I don't even know what to add to this... LAME

Re: Round 3
 

Chris you cant even talk

Re: Round 3
 

Buy a bike and be done with cars.

Re: Round 3
 

I agree! BUY MY BIKE!!

Re: Round 3
 

:rollinglaugh:

Agreed, if you can do bikes they are totally the best option.

Good luck man.

Re: Round 3
 

Nope when I sell this car, the only thing I will be buying is a comfortable vehicle and a house

Re: Round 3
 

I hope you decide to keep this till spring!

Re: Round 3
 

I'd disagree on a bike, they can be and are fun but they are no replacement for an evo/dsm. Any chump can get on a bike and go relatively fast, including this guy <---:rollinglaugh:

Haha you'll be back if you sell this evo though! Either way good luck!

Re: Round 3
 

Hater.

Don't be dumb.

Re: Round 3
 

haha I'm gonna be dumb then spaz. I'm just not into this as much as I was, I dont feel like spending a bunch of money on cars at this point in my life. I know I've said it before. Don't really feel like living at my parents house with no garage space half the time and not being able to have the other fun stuff I would like with a house. Sure I could afford a house and the evo, but then I would be living pretty tight on money. Not to mention I cant fit an ice house in my car with an auger or tow a boat with my car.

Re: Round 3
 

Responsibility sucks doesn't it? Dan just sold his GSX last week and picked up a 1999 Accord for the daily grind to work because he and Kassy are engaged now.

Re: Round 3
 

Dans a smart guy, I saw that him and kassy are engaged.

Re: Round 3
 

Clean car for sure!

It is too bad you aren't enjoying it anymore! :(

Has there been any performance work done to the car since it left Chris' hands?

I thought he sold this car for under 13k? IMHO it seems like 15.5k is a lot for the same car, but just older and with more miles on it.

Good luck on sale if you do decide to sell it! I would possibly consider it if you lowered the price, I am going to be shopping around for a clean 1ga or EVO over the next few months.

Re: Round 3
 

Yes Paul did buy this for under 13k, but right after he bought it had to replace clutch,tires, bent wheel,brakes,and a bunch of other little things. Since I have owned the car, I have had it tuned,replaced the rear axle seals, rear diff mod and also the pinion seal along with new wheels and snow tires. NADA clean retail is 18600 for this car stock. So with that being said me stating a ballpark price of 15.5k is what I think very reasonable since I was not in any way saying it was firm. I will post a for sale thread when I decide to take the time and do so.

Re: Round 3
 

Hope you stick to your word. Selling it and saving for a house is a good idea. I need to grow up and do the same thing.
