I don't think it would hurt to take a look at the other fluids.

Spark plugs and fluid changes. As per the boost, it says you have a base map? You might want to look into getting a tune for your car.

I say add some good gas, charge battery, couldnt hurt to change oil. Then driver her around for a few hundred miles. Take it to a tuner and have it tuned by a pro. Tuning has come along way since 05-06 or whenever you had a base flash. With a tune you could run 25+ psi. As is leave it under 20.

Fluids, slark plugs, seafoam treatment, injector and fuel pump cleaning fluid in gas tank.

This is what i would do because oil can turn into sludge if its not moving through a vehicle

I would also keep an eye on your injecters for leaks. Not sure what type of climate you are in but the seals and o'rings do tend to shrink after not being used for an extended amount of time. If your tires are shot, think about other rubber componants that are used on the car. Try to drive that thing at least once per month. Wow! 2 years!

Wheel bearings. Often over looked, but a common problem with a car sitting for more than 12 months.

Thats just crazy to have a beautiful Evo sitting for no reason for 2 years because you have another daily. Why not take this out even 1 day per week? I have read COUNTLESS horror stories dealing with one common problem: cars that people try to keep mint by keeping garage kept w/o driving. Gaskets, rubber components, hoses, all parts of the car are meant and built with the intentions of being driven. Without driving these parts tend to dry out and start to fail. Even in some more "electronically equipped" vehicles, cars that sit even tend to gain electrical problems with radios, buttons, electronic power features.

Any photos of this said 7k miles Evo?? Would love to see, im sure she looks good.

The main problem I see is the gas tank being empty for 2 years. It should have been left full. Empty tanks tend to rust.

Like every one else said check all fluids,etc. give it a good look over look for things that may have rusted, and then once everything seems to be in order go out and dive the thing, oh and +1 on seeing some pics of the Evo
