Re: Another new '03 Evo
Badass, congrats steve!
I say get the head welded up and decked and slap it back on. Any aftermarket parts come on the car? Any plans for e85 on stock turbo (STS!) or just gonna keep it mild and reliable?
*edit* LOL I forgot you said 2.3L, fp red etc. Sounds like a fun-ass combo!

I say weld it and deck it too. Then do the 400 grit sand paper wraped around a 2x4 to deck the block. Treat it like a DSM. |

Exactly, I'm ready to be an EVO snob now.  A different head is getting the treatment down at MAP to go back on here. To reweld the head properly, it ends up being almost as much, and it takes longer, and I'm impatient, I want to drive this thing.

The only things it doesn't have are a proper front mount and cams. Per your recommendation in another thread, I'm probably going with the S2's. I already priced them with Chris today while I was there.

I'm shure if Steve treats it like he treats his DSM it will be just fine. Might as well put new cams in while the head is off. |

Re: Another new '03 Evo
I'll probably wait until spring for the cams, I need to let my bank account recover first.

Re: Another new '03 Evo
Awesome man, you are gonna gave a fun-ass DD setup come spring! Just drive the dsm a few days a week as a spare car, no harm in that. If you need any help with ecu tweaks don't hesitate to ask. A basic, gaugeless wideband is damn cheap and with an ecuflash cable you can do pretty much anything. Rock the stock maf for as long as you can, and switch to SD if you demand extra smoothness.

That's being done currently as well, I just don't have as much enthusiasm for it as the Evo, so it's a slower process.

The lotus will be awesome but the Evo will be something you can drive any day or every day.

Re: Another new '03 Evo
Did you have a build thread for the lotus? I can't remember what you were doing to it.

Re: Another new '03 Evo
Not really. I bought it to keep possibly, but after looking into it a bit more, decided that if I'm going to have one, it would have to be at least a year newer with the newer ECU and EFI, as well as the stronger tranny. I had a lot of work done at a local exotic shop, and now I'm finishing all the other things it needs, like rebuilding the fuel system, redoing the interior, and have a few things on the body touched up. It's definitely a cool car, it just doesn't fit my need for speed.

Re: Another new '03 Evo
Hmm, this talk of selling your GSX. Please, let me know if you make a decision.

Will do. Please keep in mind that while I'm realistic that it is a 20-year old car and should be priced accordingly, it's also not a $2500 car that's been driven to death either. I've probably got another several thousand into just bringing it back to a 16G daily driver with the new engine and such, and I've got another $700 worth of paint work and touch up detailing I'd like to do before I sell it. That being said, I'm not asking anywhere near what I did when it was a 600whp car. I wanted to lay this out there because I've had some interest in it and want to lay out realistic expectations of what I'd be looking for out of it. I am about 95% sure I'm selling it, this time.

Sorry Chris, unless a C6 Z06 comes along for $15k, I'm keeping this little baby all to myself.
