Re: Another new '03 Evo

Thanks guys. Yeah, the car actually ran pretty well considering how bad the head and gasket are. The block is almost perfect, shaving it a couple thou would take care of it completely. The damage isn't directly on the edge of the cylinder, so I'll probably leave it as is because I know I'll want to do some major upgrade on it in the future anyways, I can't ever leave well enough alone.

The nice thing is besides a lot of extra crap around the engine, the basics are very similar to the DSM's, so the learning curve is pretty light so far on doing a headgasket and timing belt. Overall, I'm very happy with the car, it's my favorite color, the mods are done well, and it looks completely stock except for the JdM yO exhaust, which will get replaced sooner than later.

If I get this job I interviewed for again yesterday, there's a possibility I'll keep the GSX as well. The Lotus is definitely going though, too many cars, not enough room.

Carl, you funny. And thanks for the tow. If anybody needs cars trailered, Carl's your man!
