2003 Evo 8 395/365, tons of maintenance

[evoforstevo]

I just put in $5100 of maintenance April 7, not including tune. Right now it is tuned on 91oct making 395hp/365tq at 26psi. The EF2.5 turbo spools CRAZY fast. I really love this car but I have other priorities.

Exterior:
The paint is in excellent condition for it's age. I recently put a JDM rear bumper on with an STM rear crash beam, so the pictures are mixed (some USDM some JDM, but it's a JDM)
I've tried to take care of this car the best that I can. The front bumper and hood have a fair amount of small chips. There are two very minor dings on each side that could be easily removed. One not so nice ding on the rear passanger QP. Other than that, the paint and body are in excellent condition for a 2003 and no rust on the body panels! The underside has very little rust compared to some of the 03-06 evo's I've witnessed.


Interior:
Very good condition. The drivers seat has normal wear and tear. Never been smoked in.

Things I will be repairing:
Front driver caliper bolt is cross threaded/seized
Caliper seals are blown
Sunroof screws are falling out which means it will drop----do not want
Fix heater knob (awesome 2003 issue which means the dash needs to come out)
Shorten Exhaust

In this video, I mention the o2 sensor being faulty (Dumb/slow). I installed a new UICP yesterday and found the stock BOV was hardly attached to the intake. With the new TiAL qr installed, it is running SO much happier. It's a fantastic car!

bump would love a trade for FRS-BRZ (can put cash on my end, if the car warrants it)

[charged86]

kudos for correctly displaying a for sale add. price seems stiff though

[evoforstevo]

I appreciate your reply. Most 2003 Evo 8's are going for 14-16k without a built engine. However, most (90%) don't have the maintenance history this particular example does. I've replaced $10,000 of parts in the past 2,xxx miles. The car just had an ETS upper intercooler pipe, TiAL qr recalculation valve installed yesterday. It will be going in for a second tune on e85 so that it can be driven anywhere and tracked with the safe qualities of ethanol.

On that note, the price has been dropped to $17,500.

I passed this along to someone who mentioned wanting one. GL with the sale. I wish I had the money I would scoop it myself.

Unfortunately, the car is being parted out and sold in stock form or traded in on a new brz limited. I really appreciate you passing it along!
