2003 Rally Red Evo VIII GSR. (HIDs, Moonroof, etc.)
CLEAN TITLE VIN JA3AH86F63U122834
72,700 miles,
Mostly highway miles. Used to commute on the highway 70-100 miles a day in CA. Not much stop-and-go traffic, just smooth cruising at 65mph. Driven nicely, always warmed up and cooled down, rev-matched. Non-smoker car. An MBC was installed for 3 months at 21psi, dyno tuned, and removed back to stock boost ever since.
Well maintained. Oil changed every 3k miles using only Mobil1 10w30 and OEM or Napa gold filters, regular drivetrain fluid changes using Diaqueen and BG, Iridium 7 plugs.

Replaced at 63k:
New water pump
New timing belt
New pulleys and tensioners
New all-season tires
Brakes are good- Hawk HPS pads
Brand new battery put in two weeks ago

HKS Hi Power cat-back exhaust

IX diverter valve (VIII included as well)
Walbro 255lph fuel pump

Everything else stock. Have receipts for most maintenance and parts.

Tuned by Cameron Dawes of Camtuning in Albuquerque, NM. Cameron is an accomplished and well-respected tuner in the Subaru community and is very skilled at tuning Evos as well. I have a dyno sheet from the tuning session when the car had an MBC installed for three months. It made 294 whp and 303wtq. The MBC was then removed and the car has been run stock boost since.

The car is completely mechanically sound, but is not 100% cosmetically perfect as it was my daily driver, and has some cosmetic damage (see further below). The engine pulls hard and idles smooth. The transmission shifts smooth and nicely. The clutch is still good and drives perfectly fine but should probably be replaced soon.

It is a great platform for someone looking for an inexpensive Evo who is willing to compromise aesthetics or fix them, or save the money and use it for a project car.

It has the common VIII problem of the HVAC control knobs being hard to turn/stuck. All the temperature ranges work but need to be adjusted from under the dash by the steering column (I do this while driving all the time and have gotten used to it), and the zones change everywhere except to feet. If you read the threads on this there are details on how to address this. The TSB fix for this has already been applied. All that is needed from here to make it perfect is to replace the adjustment cables.

The reason I am selling it cheap is there is some damage on the back passenger side quarter panel, trunk floor and bumper. This is totally repairable and should cost less than $2 to $2.5k according to the quotes I received. If someone were interested in pulling, flaring, or adding Voltex over-fenders to the rear fenders to fit large and aggressive wheels and tires, this is a perfect opportunity with little setback. It really won’t take much to fix the things that need to be addressed on this car. The only reason I am selling it is my Dad has stage 4+ cancer and I need to take care of him entirely on my own, so I need the time and money for that.

Price: $13k OBO

I don't want to scare people away, but due to the amount and nature of inquiries I am receiving, I ask that you please:

-Talk to your bank and see if you can even get approved for it FIRST. It's a huge waste of both our time if can't actually afford it.

-Not immediately start by asking me "what the lowest you will go." That's not how I do business. Just make me an offer. If I like it, I will take it. If not, go higher or you don't get the car. It's really that simple.

PM or call 505-670-7133
I AM ABSOLUTELY NOT INTERESTED IN TRADES, PERIOD.

Thanks for your interest.
