Default What I've been up to...and pics of my 380 hp Evo 8

The WRX was a great concept. Quick, awd, subaru (quality). Problems arose and I found that the previous owner treated this car like ****. Major suspension and transmission problems had me wanting to trade. Also, I still couldn't sell my got-damned truck, the 450 dollar car payment was hurting me. I then decided to trade for an evo, 2 cars for 1. Get rid of both my problems for a single vehicle. I bought this Evo.

















stats

'04
Stroked to 2.3L
Wisco pistons
Eagle rods
Walbro 255lb fuel pump
Knife edged crank
Buddy club cams 264/272
Fidanza cam gears
AEM intake
Turbo Smart electronic boost controler
Forge BOV
SS brake lines
SS clutch line
Brass shifter bushing
Short throw shifter
aftermarket clutch (I THINK its ACT)
SAFC II tuned by Mac in Parker CO
380 awhp



I have since blown the engine. Had nothing to do with me (except my terrible luck). A hole in the fuel pressure regulator valve caused it to go lean and..kaboom. Luckily I have a college fund to pay for it with . But the rest of the car is completely sound, once the new engine(all the same specs) goes in (along with a new clutch and valve springs), I'm not going to do much more to it, I've already taken apart the headlights and painted the chrome housings black (looks sinister). Maybe some bronze wheels eventually. My car payment had significantly dropped as well, so mods might come faster. Welp, thats my story..haven't been posting much because of work, college, I have a girlfriend that lives with me now, etc.,etc

LOL fish your life sounds like some kind of TV episode like the OC or some ****. that evo looks mean. too bad the subaru didnt work out for you. i still have mine and its bone stock, give for a amp and some speakers.

edit: acutally your car has zero horsepower until you get that new short block put in.
