Eastern Members - Picked up a EVO!!

After my 1 year search of a descent new daily driver, and going through four different cars, i found the one that i plan on keeping. It's a 03, 128k miles. Bone stock. The owner before me honestly can go fuck himself. He tortured the damn thing, but Fortunatly didn't "Rice it up". I've been working on since i got back from work at around 6 'til 11, only cleaning it up! Soon to come: Bigger turbo, boost controller, boost gauge, and the usual full bolt on's. $15 bucks @ $3.40/gal put the needle at half tank, and i've been driving it all day and got down to a quarter. So gas miles aren't bad at all. I got pulled over for first time in it today. i had just pulled out of the car lot i bought it from, so that's not a good sign at all.

Looks clean. If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it? I was thinking of getting an Evo VI here in Japan, but couldn't find one that I like. I ended up with a 98 STI.

$9k...

That's not bad at all! GC8 STI's are cheap as dirt out here in Japan... I picked mine up for $3100 with a newer engine in it. Boosts at 1.4 bar (around 20 PSI)... Sure is fun out here with all the snow. I would really like to run an Evo at a time attack or something to see how they stack up. They are cool cars, parts are just really expensive and hard to get for Evo's out here.

Looks like you have put some work in your car already with the exterior. Looks like a fun DD.

It is, once i find out what waste gate and blow of valve i should run.

$9k...I'm not necessarily a fan of Mitsubishi Lancers but that is a decent price/deal for the car. :nod:

looks good

o there fun for sure. I got a WRX for a daily and ended up modding the shit out of it because i could lol. 9k not a bad price. Most people up here want something ridiculous for evos.

Have fun, those cars are a bitch lol...

THANK GOD you are putting the rear wing back on. these cars look so retarded without one. nice purchase and have fun with that new daily

THANK GOD you are putting the rear wing back on. these cars look so retarded without one. nice purchase and have fun with that new daily

Noo, I disagree.. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD Take the wing back off.

Nice buy!

Nice little car indeed. I love it when someone here buys one of these for a DD and then adds "now Im gonna go for bigger turbo, injectors cam and a tune!" WTF....for a daily all that? LOL!

:jest: I was thinking the same thing.

What did the PO do to it that was so bad?

looks like a good car for what you paid.

I would go without the wing but keep it for later personally - you got pulled over without the wing on it ? if so wait till its back on lol. its your car though so whatever puts a smile on your face....

me and my wife & daughter run 4 door front drive regal gs's and gtp's for dailys with the 3800 sc 12.2 @118 was the quickest one of those Ive had so far so I get the whole modded daily driver thing its a disease.

I think I would have to buy something like a stock 4cyl auto NA cavalier for a daily to actually leave it alone....

i got rid of my supercharged cobalt for my evo, best decision ever. this thing is mad fun even on the stock turbo. really amazing cars all around and its completely night/day with my camaro. even tho they make close to the same power, the ls1 is a completely different animal. ls1 power kicks in so much harder and faster due to the v8. so its alot of fun having both being able to switch

I love this damn thing to death. Alot of work (10-12 hours) into it. Might take the wing of soon. What kind of boost gauge should i run that's the easiest to install and a good price, and at the same time looks real good. So far i ordered a hks SSQV bov, and working on the intake and exhaust (Please give me suggestions). I ordered the brembo stickers for the brakes, and taking off all the emblems off the trunk and installing the large "Evolution VIII" that runs accross the whole trunk. 25% tint on monday all around on monday. I should be making 350whp after the intake, full exhaust, BOV, and a tune. The turbo is good for more than 350whp @23-25lb's boost.

Anybody know anything about this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/350528817545?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

And I was just thinking I go on LS1Tech to get away from stuff like this, darn. Enjoy your ricer...

Do you know what a ricer is you troll? Just because a car is a 4 cylinder doesn't mean it's a ricer. :gtfo:

Really your calling me a troll? Yes I know what a ricer is... Its not like I dont have a Subaru and a bunch of VW's. But I dont post them on LS1Tech for attention.

If your spoiler interferes with your rear view mirror, your ordering a SSQV bov, and Brembo stickers... well then three counts for a ricer.

Yes, I am calling you a troll, coming onto my thread calling my car a "ricer". If you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. The Brembo stickers are to get the original brembo look on the calipers you dumbass, because as you can see, I had no choice but to paint over the "Brembo" letters because they came faded out once I bought the car. I'd love for you to explain to me why a ssqv bov is "ricer". I know people with turbo'd gt's and f-body's running them. A real ricer would paint his wheels green and stick "nos" stickers all over the car. I never said the spoiler is interfering with my vision, stop making shit up. Not every one has the same taste or thinks the same way. If I want to make a thread showing enthusiasts that i purchased a rare care, who cares, there is nothing you are going to do about it.

Nice looking Evo man

Thanks!!!

Youre not a troll....you are an elitist asshole. This could be a great oportunity to pack your bags and the hell out of here. This site does not need another idiot like you.

Do you know what a ricer is you troll? Just because a car is a 4 cylinder doesn't mean it's a ricer. :gtfo:Absolutely true, just because a vehicle has a 4 cylinder does NOT mean that it's a ricer. :nod:
But in all fairness, the term "ricer" actually stems from the term "riceburner".
'Riceburner' originally referred to ANY vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle etc.) from any Asian based manufacturer.
But so much time has passed since these goofy terms were even invented and the average age of so many that are buying Asian imports today is probably too young to even remember when or why the term was first made popular or used in the first place LOL.
Over the years, the meanings have gotten a little convoluted and misinterpreted, so much so that even a General Motors vehicle that was designed and manufactured in the United States can now be called 'a ricer' just because it has some stickers and a wing on it which I never understood.:huh:
It might be derogatory and it might no longer be relevant, but the origins of the term still cannot be denied. :)

I am old enough to remember riceburner lol

nowadys the common definition I see is

R acing
I nspired
C osmetic
E nhancements

which to me is when you try to make something not so special look like its something by adding lots of visuals but you still have a slow turd.

this evo is a well respected performer and so far everything done to it visually is of the subltle tasteful variety.

ricer can also be a person with a certain attitude that would say things like:

my civic is running 50 pounds of boost and putting down 1200 hp

hp per liter

oh yeah well my buddys supra would destroy your pushrod LS1


if you had painted the calipers , wheels , and spoiler lime green along with matching underglow lights , and a dozen various stickers on the rear side glass then I would expect some negative comments :barf:

this is a local section your posting because your excited about your new toy to people that maybe you have even met in person

Anybody know anything about this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/350528817545?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I had Glowshift gauges in my last TA. They worked great and it was like to be able to change the colors if I wanted. I would go for that one.

You dont even know me.... why dont you stop drawing conclusions over an internet forum. But since you called me an asshole, go fuck yourself. Meanwhile, what exactly does questioning someone over posting a Japanese car on a forum named LS1TECH have to do with being elitist? Especially when I said I also owned the same class of car. I post things related to that car on its respective forum. Same in that I dont post details about my domestic car on the Japanese forum. Seems simple to me... but maybe its harder to understand to an idiot like you.

Ahhh how cute. You obviously took what I said way too serious... but its funny you get so fired up over a simple forum comment. Welcome to the internet... its a public forum where people can say whatever they want. If you dont like it... get thicker skin. Because exactly like you said "there is nothing you are going to do about it."

Did you really just compare putting a BOV on a factory turbo car with the stock turbo to a aftermarket forced induction f-body or stanger? That in itself is funny. Around here when someone has a stock turbo car with a BOV we call them ricers.

Thanks for the free entertainment guys! :jest:

Anyways. I went with Prosport gauges in my WRX. Prices were reasonable and i've zero issues with them. I have boost, EGT and oil pressure in mine. If you know anyone looking for a set of from brembo's for a EVO VIII LMK i have a set i was gonna swap onto my WRX.

Just confirmed that you are truly an asshole so; welcome to the internet where people say whatever you want! If you dont like it get a thicker skin...hows that, cupcake?:judge:


Oh and here is the best thing of all, you cant do anything about it.:nod:

Sounds good, at least you admit it. Doesn't bother me at all :cool:

Enjoy the car OP, everyone needs a ricer. Did you post it on the ricer board yet? :jest: I know I like driving my ricer.

You can take your ricer and attempt shoving it up your ass. Good bye :)

9K for an evo is a good deal in my book, how bad is the insurance compared to LS1 f bodies? i quoted a 06 GTO as only $3 more a month than my 99 Z28.

Wont fit... your heads already there.

Enjoy the car though... still not sure what your hatred for the term ricer comes from. I call my own a ricer, haha.

Really someone can't post pictures of their evo up on here without getting crap? Ricer does not = import. It's the type of owner and the mods he does that makes him a ricer. We all have some ricer in us. Whether it's tinted tail lights or stickers/wings. Plenty of people do mods to cars on here that have no positive effect on performance. So what?

I'd much rather read about this car then read about guns post or "i lost weight" thread.

Don't like it? Don't post in the thread it's pretty simple.

Nice evo...would make a nice daily. Though i'd never own one because i'd mod the crap out of it and then want another daily to replace it. It's impossible not to get carried away with that kind of car for me. I'm pretty mixed on the spoiler, they look boring as hell without them so i'd probably put it back on and leave it. May i suggest before you get overboard with your other mods is get a set of tires! Uniroyal tiger paws on an evo really? I have the same on the stock wheels for my s10 and they are absolute garbage. Can't even take an exit turn without all 4 squealing lol. Those cars handle pretty amazing with a set of tires.

Thanks bud! Tires on it aren't bad at all, i guess you just had bad luck. lol. I am getting different wheels soon anyway. I am trying not to mod the hell out of it, but it's killing me! Just ordered a innovate wideband and a autometer cobalt boost gauge! All is going on the pillar!

And I was just thinking I go on LS1Tech to get away from stuff like this, darn. Enjoy your ricer...

:mullet: yeah man that dang ole little rice burner gotta a little 4 banger in it, fuck it, fuck all them commy bastards, BUY american or die you piece of shit!!!!!

I've always wanted an evo. Awesome cars. Definitely a STEAL for 9k!!!

Hey ricer! if you're gonna grammatically correct someone, you should put "an" evo in the thread title.

nice, evo, id love to get my hands on one. 9k will get you a 200k evo missing the interior around here haha.

Nice buy.. for 9k def a decent deal. I had one and they are def fun little cars.. Enjoy
