Background:

I bought this car for $996.69 at a local junkyard my senior year of high school. At the time (and to this day) wanted an evo 8 or 9, but I decided to look at this car knowing it was a 4g63t powered, all wheel drive car. The car initially came without a key, upper intercooler piping, or bov. The 6 bolt swap, greddy fmic, and pretty much everything else besides the injen intake were already on the car. It was pretty interesting going working on a car without having any sort of experience prior, and it took a few months to get it to start. Once it was running, I learned to drive manual in it and have driven it ever since. This car will forever be in my possession, no matter what. I plan on making this a daily street car pushing as close to 450-500whp as I can get. I plan on building a 2g head to run with e85, but college is expensive. I have a lot of parts collected that still need to be installed such as dsmlink v3, carbonetics abv2 hood, various gauges, aem adjustable cam gears, hks 272's, stainless 3in o2 housing...and the list goes on
