I RallyX my Evo, and I had an '03 but the open front diff wasn't the best. I figured by the time I bought a Ralliart front diff and had it installed it was probably going to be around $2500. Or I could just trade in my '03 on an '06 RS and get the limited front slip, ACD, MIVEC, lighter weight and no ABS, so I decided to buy my "mods" straight from Mitsubishi rather than the aftermarket.

i'd never get rid of my 03 short of some major mechanical problems that wouldn't make it worth fixing....

then i'd run into the warm embrace of a new 2006 evo IX SE...black, then i'd go to town on it.

I sold my 03 2 years ago to buy a different car (acura TL).
After about 2 years of driving that car and finding out that the evo 9 is going to be the last one to use current chassis and motor, it was a no brainer.

Now I have a evo 9 that I love driving every single minute.
I will be keeping this one for a long long time.

I had a red 03. Mitsu bought it back after about a year due to P0300 code and serious driveability issue. I got a black 03 for my second one and kept my same loan.

Planning on getting X around year after they launch. (let someone else work out the kinks)
