Congrats man, I know the feeling. I just got an 05 same color on Sat. Resisting the urge to push it is soo hard. I splurged and bought that extended warranty only because I didn't want to deal with any **** if anything went wrong. I plan on keeping it stock for some time as well...

Can someone post a pic so I can prove EB is NOT purple? And I know the feeling, I dealt with it twice...with both my engines...

Congrats on your new baby, and enjoy.

oh yeah, DO NOT GET COIL OVER SLEEVES for the Evo.
keep the stock suspension or get real coil-overs.

Don't worry about the break-in, just thrash it from day one.

You have no idea how much fun you are in for. Are you going to mod the car? For $10,000 you can turn your EVO into an absolute monster that will beat almost anything, including $90,000 Porsches, $55,000 Corvettes, and even the older big bucks Ferraris.

cheers to a new Evo owner! I always wanted a blue one, but I'm pretty much in love with my tarmac black now! The two best colors, methinks.
