I Bought an EVO IX, 1st one in Alaska!

Hello guys...I am new to the board. I just wanted to say hi from Anchorage, Alaska...I just bought an EVO IX in Silver; it was the 1st one in Alaska. Still breaking her in, and can't wait till I take her up in rpms and mph.

So far I am loving everything about the car. Well, I wish it had a JDM bumper.

I'd say more, but I'm tired, let me know if guys have any questions on the car.

Here is my previous car, when I owned this, I never liked the Evo, but it looks like things have changed !

Is this Keoni? Sorry if I spelled it wrong. I've seen you around and met you through my cousin J.P. Baquarian, don't know if you remember me.

Well, if it's cool I'll definatley say hi, if I see you around town.

I was hoping the AK EVO community was cool, so far so good!

I couldn't of thought of a better car to drive in your neck of the woods - ice, snow, air with a lot of O2 molecules/liter. Nice car and nice country

Whoa. How is it living in Anchorage guys? I've stopped by your airport in the past (is the huge stuffed polar bear still there?).

I know this is off topic, but just curious about what there is to do up there...

Welcome to the Club and great choice on the IX, but please don't rebadge it to make it look like something it's not.

Thanks! The only thing I was gonna do was change the rear badging to read evolution Ix in the middle of the trunk. I dont know if the Japan models have them already? Oh well, I just want to enjoy the car stock for now!

Well its kool man! be seeing you around! I don't think I will be getting the MR that there getting in they want like 3000 over MSRP and their pretty firm! Guess, I will have to wait til the price goes down to MSRP or lower. Well, I'll enjoy what I did to the 8 for some months now.
