for trade, 2003 Evo 8, big turbo, built bottom end WANNA TRADE

Hello
so i have been toying with the idea of putting my evo up for sale since i hardly drive her while i am at school and it would be nice to see her go to a good home where she will be appreciated and actually driven. To start off this car has been my BABY for the past 2 years, i care about this car as much as most people care about their kids.
The oil has been changed religiously every 3000 miles with the dif and transmission fluid being changed every 6k miles.

ill start with the good things and then move on to the little things that bug me about the car.

CURRENTLY THE CAR IS TUNED AT 26PSI ON 91 PUMP GAS MAKING 463/415 AT THE WHEELS. THE TURBO ON THE CAR IS EASILY CAPABLE OF AROUND 600WHP ON E85. yes i have dyno sheets also

TIMING BELT WAS JUST CHANGED BY JACKS TRANSMISSION!(within the last 500 miles) I have all the receipts for this as well.

ASKING 16.5k OBO but looking for a trade more so. I owe 2700 on the car but i can figure out something with someone who is seriously interested.

Modifications:

Engine: odometer reads 99.8k but the motor was rebuilt at 69k miles so about 30k miles.

Bottom end is fully built.

Weisco Pistons
Manley Turbo Tuff I Beam Rods
ACL Rod and Main bearings
kiggly dual valve springs
manley valves
Still a 2.0 Liter motor since I wanted to raise the redline if I felt the need.

Buschur 272 Cam shafts

Turbo Setup:
JB Fp Black turbo setup.
(Compressor wheel - 82HTZ
Flow rating - 68LB per minute
CW Measurements - 59.1MM Inducer / 82MM Exducer
TW Measurements - 67.3MM Inducer / 58.8MM Exducer
Compressor Housing - 84MM Flow Advancement Port Cover)

turbosmart 18psi wastegate
FP oil feed line feeding off the housing

Transmission:
The prior owner showed me receipts that the transmission was built by Buschur Racing however I was getting some 3rd and 4th gear lockout so i had the synchros replaced.

BRAND NEW synchrotech CARBON synchros installed by Jacks Transmission less then 500 miles ago. They also checked the gear set for chipping or any problems and everything was given the ok.

Competition Push style Twin Disc clutch also installed by Jacks Transmission at the same time as the synchros.

Jacks is a shop in colorado springs that specializes in Evos and GTRs.

Buschur Underhood shifter bushings
Torque solutions short shifter
torque solutions shifter base bushings.
Razo Heavy shift knob.

Exhaust:
buschur ported and coated stock exhaust manifold
buschur catless downpipe
buschur bullet cbe
Toxicfab O2 dump(downward facing). for those of you that havent seen collins work at Toxicfab his work is phenomenal and each piece is hand ported.

Cooling:
Buschur 4in thick race fmic
buschur licp
buschur uicp
Tial BOV tuned VTA

Other Engine Mods:

spoolinup coil over plug ignition system.
Buschur short route intake

Fuel System:
Buschur double pumper fuel pump, twin walbro 255
FIC 1150cc injectors at ~73% duty cycle on the pump gas tune.
i also have some 1600cc injectors that can be included for e85.

Gauges:
prosport oil temp, oil pressure and boost gauge
AEM afr gauge

Random Modifications:
GENUINE mitsubishi JDM rear bumper painted factory tarmac black
demonwerks rear crash beam
evo 7 valve cover
evo 7 tail lights (genuine not knockoffs)
EVO x leather recaro seats
Doluck style front lip
Factory wing has been removed

Rims and Tires:
18x9 Konig Milligrams
sport comp2 tires.


Suspension:
BC BR Coilovers

So now for the bad things,

1) there are 2 chips in the windshield from random rocks that i have not had repaired yet but they are small no cracks or anything significant.
2) since the evo x seats are not bolt in I had to fabricate the brackets to get them to fit, because of this the seats on the driver side is difficult to scoot forward and back. I am 6ft tall and can comfortably drive in it but if youre any taller it might be a tight fit.
3) the trunk is plastidipped black, when i took off the badges there was still an outline of them so i decided to plastidip it. Also the wing holes are covered with vinyl stickers and then plastidipped over so theres no leak.
4) there is a small oil leak that i cannot for the life of me find the source of, Jacks has assured me not to worry about it but i want to be open to someone who is interested in the car.

I am just seeing what is out there. i currently still owe 2700 bucks on the car which i can talk about with someone depending what is offered. Would prefer A lightning but let's see

CAR IS LOCATED IN LUBBOCK TEXAS! I am here for school.

Cheers

Colton

I haven't had the stock wheels in a long time the Konig milligrams are on their currently, however a set of Evo 8 rims can be gotten very cheaply. However the bbs rims from the Evo 9 weigh about the same as these but those are 17x7 vs these being a 17x9.

All the work was either done by Jacks Transmission, Buschur racing or he prior owner who was a machinist.

Nice, one the best street setups for an EVO hands down! I have a built EVO also, so I'll vouch for all the parts on your car and their quality! GLWS!

I would be surprised if its still for sale. I sold my 03 evo8 BBY fully built 2.0 with big turbo,, caged, ect for $22K 3 months ago and it sold in a week of being advertised.

what are the miles on the body? clean title?? hell I might be interested in it.
