You bought an Evo and you think an STI is ugly? Umm....

 

bet that will work well in the snow! nice car.

 

Fun car. One of my friends has one and it's a blast to drive.

Enjoy

 

Sellout.

 

x2 let me know how fun that thing is to drive next snow season

 

i love evo's that one looks like *** sorry.. take off the crappy body kit. go back to original. tires are to small. heck stock rims are better imo.. idk i would never want one thats been kitted out.

still gonna be a blast to drive

 

^The Evo is stock.

I've always liked Evo's.

Sameless plug for http://www.buschurracing.com/ they do amazing work.

 

Well I apprecaite everyones input good and bad.

Redneck: I didn't put anything on so there is room to take it off. And mod my way.

Snow should be great with the awd.

Sorry to get rid of the ranger but she was over 100k and its big thing in my fam to get rid of cars at 100k.

 

thats pretty good $ you got for your Ranger...

 

If the car looks stock that is a BIG problem. Most of the cars I see with that many miles on them that are stock have been modded, and de-modded. I got your PM about that cat, my guess is the previous owner was running catless (as do I) and the dealer put it back on. It probably was tuned for less backpressure, and not retuned to stock. I would not boost too hard until that is solved because you might get some knock. First step is that we need to get a base tune back in it and then actually figure out what is modded/demodded. I can't chat too much right now because I have to work on removing some tumble geo valves from an STI. I'll hook up with you later.

 

GAAAYY!!!

 

That would be great all help I can get would be great. And well it was catless. And it still have the intake. Exhaust. Now with cat and the blow off and the hks intercooler.

 

Take a closer look front valance/Vented Fenders/Side Skids are all after market. cant see the rear valance.

i know you didnt mod the car i just wouldnt buy one kitted. kinda losses the value imo stock body is stickered with the vin all over it kinda special imo..

 

I bet the intake is causing your idle problem. HKS intakes have a tumble'ing effect near the maf and things get very screwey. (They sound very cool though) This is why I went with the ETS intake. If the idle is dropping so low that your oil pressure is falling that is very bad. The stock intake dosent need to be changed until 300whp or so. A stock VIII is normally 220-240whp

 

You know that thing on the back is bigger than the horizontal stabilizer of a small aircraft.

 

Yeah, but dont you get like 12 feet of snow at times where your at?

Also, I know the wing is stock...ditch it, thats pretty much the only thing I hate about evo's.

 

your family gets rid of cars at 100k? my dad and i only own cars OVER 100k? odd...

 

x2....that's the old way of thinking. 100k is the new 20k!!!!
Hell, our new Level II had 96k when I bought it for my wife!

 

I'm not afraid of owning a vehicle that has 100k+ on it, hell, I bought my 2000 with 170k miles on it, and its still probably one of the best vehicles I ever owned. That thing was awesome. Anyways,.. I'll stop now before I start to go down memory lane and tear up... :(

 

It makes a big difference when the wind tries to pick the car up at about 130+

I drove a wingless car doing some logging and tuning above 130 scared the hell out of me.

 

Idle problems? Could it be the bov on the car? Is it recirculated back into the intake?

 

Honestly I know little about evos motors and I will soon start too learn. But jp7 what are thought on not getting idle to throw low oil pressure?

Also I looked at a closed box intake for the evo what is your thoughts there? I think its apexi?

 

A simple tune up wouldn't hurt. The plugs will tell you what's going on.

 

Probably right I'm going through it today. All new fluids.

 

You need to put the factory fenders/bumpers back, take off the sideskirts, lower it will some and put a nice set of wheels/tires on it. You could probably find someone on some forum who would trade you the bodywork.

What does that have to do with the idle? lol
