I finally sold the DSM and the Audi and consolidated. I regret not making a project thread for the Brian Spilner DSM and will not make the same mistake with the evo. I'm guessing if I would have had a project thread it wouldn't have ended up with a bodykit or lime green. I've definitely grown up a bit since I got into DSMs so I'm going to do what I can to keep the evo classy.
It was actually a lot harder than I initially hoped it would be to find a clean low mile evo! I ended up getting a 2003 Rally red VIII from wisconsin. All I've been doing to it since i've picked it up is basic maintenance and cleaning things up.
I plan on posting pics as I make changes and asking advice before I make purchases.
I picked it up with a little over 45k miles and the car did come with some basic bolt ons..

After:
It's wingless... and i'm debating getting a wing. On the plus side it does have a CF trunk, but there is not a spring and it wont stay open on it's own. Kind of irritating.
Spoiler or leave it wingless?
"MITSUBISHI" was in rough shape
$3.84 fix from walmart
Exhaust heat shield looked pretty crappy also...
I had some left over high temp engine enamel.
cleaned up nice
The rear brembos were pretty faded but I managed to restore the clear coat. and the wheels are missing the center caps
Front calipers are as clean as the day they were new
Other than that the car is pretty clean! I've basically fallen in love with it.
Thanks for looking and I'll keep you updated!
