2003 Evo VIII - 2.3L/6262 - 701whp/586ftlbs - 33k miles
Hello all,
Purchased this car roughly 16 months ago in Dallas, TX while I was in Houston. Have since moved back home to MA. Time to sell due to other priorities and not being able to give it the attention it needs to be an absolute gem. I do have receipts for most of the work done by the previous (1) owner. Car has a history with Evo Dynamics; the turbo, fueling, cams, etc. were added in May of 2013.
$19,000 OBO (considering all offers, no trades please) 2003 Evo VIII GSR
33XXX original miles
Tarmac Black
Factory HIDS
Factory sun roof
VIN:JA3AH86F13U090195
Clean title, zero body work
Original paint all around
Aesthetically the car has no issues; no dents, no excessive paint wear (one small paint chip), original interior in good shape.
701whp/568ft-lbs on E85 @ 40psi on Evo Dynamics' dyno
Major Mods:
-2.3L shortblock (100mm crank)
-Ported head (Evo Dynamics)
-Cams/springs/+1 valves (Evo Dynamics)
-Built tcase/transmission ("")
-Exedy Twin HD (Evo Dynamics)
-AMS 900X (Evo Dynamics, no shaft play, spins forever after shutdown)
-Sparktech CDI (under 1k miles)
-AMS fuel rail
-Aeromotive FPR
-Upgraded pumps (unknown brand, supporting 700whp of E85)
-Zeitronix multi-gauge (AFR/boost/fuel pressure/EGT)
The car is NOT PERFECT and definitely needs some love from the new owner. The issues are:
-low compression - cyl 4 (still makes power, not dangerously low, definitely a ring issue)
-loses some coolant (most likely a head gasket, cant find a leak)
-injectors are outdated, could use new ones and a tune
-just developed a belt squeal in the last week or so of start-ups
Car is currently driven regularly. Hate to see it weather a New England winter after so many years in salt free Texas, but do not have the luxury of caring for it like it needs at the moment.
