haha I don't think it's going anywhere unless someone gives me that. I do very much like it, and it's still the only one around town here, haha!

 

i havent seen much evo's around town...esp. pre X ones...we should do an evo meet sumtime

 

Hey new to evo world , 09 evo x . I know Adam , he doesnt know I have a evo yet haha

Anyways good to finally be a evo owner

 

Welcome! Where did you find an 09?

 

Got my buddy to grab it from a dealer in van, 09 w/ 22,000 kms loaded ,everything but nav and mr parts for 35g's. Has 18x9.5 +20 rota grids(gonna get rid or turn into my track wheels), seibon carbon mr wing, swift springs, and hks hyper pipe.

Ordered a hks ssq3 kit, aq motorsports intake, and upper/lower ic kit aswell. Not to sold yet on a downpipe cause price to whp doesn't make sense yet. But I will forsure do a reflash or Cobb tuning access port once all mods are done... That ll be it motor wise, once the stock advans are done gonna grab a set of 265/35/18 tires I think and call it good haha after all it's my wife's new commuter to work/ family/ my car

 

Ah, I saw that one on CL. It's a pretty good deal since it comes with OEM Projectors. From what I could tell, it used to have rally armor mudflaps!

 

Yeah has OEM HIDs , was listed at 39,800.

Fun car so far ,love the handling and ease of driving.Just needs a bit more top end...Pulls awesome from down low to mid,but kinda falls up top ...hopefully a tune/intake/and bolt on mods wake it up a bit.

Cheers
Aaron

 

Enjoy the car! I GRIDS are awesome

 

Hi all, I'm Donovan and new to Vancouver. And my evo. It's a IX MR/SE. Where do you all get parts locally?

 

gearheads
ajracing
drivehard

theres more i cant think of.
most of us buy parts on forum buy/sell thread or any online stores.

 

Also go through garage 5 too, they dint specialize in evo's but can get u pretty much anything, good guys and have bin in business for a long time with imports.

I've dealt with them w/ my 240 and EVO got really good prices and help whenever I called with questions. And when there's a problem with shipping or something your the first to know

Just my .02

 

Awesome, thanks for the info. What about an actual shop that can do a proper tune? I know it's a long shot for me...you never know though.

 

im with AJR most of the time. however id probably go down the state for tuning there. imo, worth it. ive never done it but ive had friends who go down there.

im sure drive hard and gearhead does tuning for sure. id personally go with GH if you dont want to drive far to the states.

i went to G5 when i had my civic and rsx for couple of years. theyre definitely the best people to go to. they're more knowledgeable with honda and nissan cars. i just wouldnt take my evo to their shop but i wouldnt mind getting parts from them.

 

G5 Can tune your car they have bin tuning all sorts of cars for along time(not just honda/nissan)they mostly tune AEM i believe . But if you want a local tuner , i would say Pat from Rocket rally(squampton) they are Cobb accessport pro tuners,and ecutek i believe. They will tune your car as good as any US shop. They build rally cars from scratch and tune rally cars so they know there **** forsure.Racing Greed is another but only bin once and they blew up friends evo... could have bin just a bad day or something freak(not bashing the shop) but i won t go there for anything even if they do know how to tune now

Other then that i would say go to oregon w/ a accessport to the actual Cobb tuning shop down there.Haven t decided where to get mine tuned at yet... either road trip to oregon, or Rocketrally.Only problem with Rocket is the Hourly rate to get a tune is very high i think and i like deals ...why i deal with g5 hah

 

You guys are the best! Anyone wanna help me do my brakes? None of my friends in the area are mechanically inclined. Not even to pump the pedal on command...
