Very nice. Just curious why the seller wanted to sell 3 months after dropping like $5k on the car.

 

Probably due to that clutch....haha. I have the same one and it's quite loud from a complete stop....

 

Lol this clutch is a *****!! I stalled 4 times. But reason for selling is, he's going to college in NJ and it's a sketchy neighborhood and evos are notoriously stolen there so he sold it and bought a Jeep SRT-8. Beautiful machine btw. Hauls ***

 

congrats on the upgrade...

 

Congrats bro!

 

i`am officially jealous!............btw congrats!!

 

thanks guys!!! I still have my RA, for a few more weeks. She's still my baby baha

 

Nice! How much did you give for it?

Can you do a comparison between the RA and the Evo? I drove an OZ and it was a completely different world compared to my RA. Been wondering if the same is true stepping up into an Evo?

 

I got it for 13.8 from 17k and I will. Give me a few days in it and I'll let ya know. I know shift points are a little higher to make it a comfortable ride and the throttle isn't as sensitive as my RA. Oh and the clutch is damn tough

 

Congrats dude!

 

Congrats on the purchase. That seems like a very fair price. I'm guessing mileage is over 100K?

 

78,1xx miles. First boosted car I've ever driven, and it's so addicting haha. Haven't even went to redline yet...

 

Wow!! Low miles. People here in Utah ask stupid prices for Evos. Over $20k for anything less than 100k.

 

Yes I've been there with those kinds of people lmao that's why it's been a long 8 months searching.
But it pans out. Best advice is take time with the search. Always pans out man
