If I were to do it again I would hold out for a IX SE

 

Newest, cleanest, lowest mileage IX SE or regular IX money could buy, no MR for me, ever. They're the grandma's Evo. The X MR proves it.

 

I'd buy exactly what I bought all over again: WW '06 Evo IX GSR.

I would probably have skipped the GM BCS, cams, and larger fuel injectors though and just gone with a MBC, aftermarket FMIC, and live happily with maxed out stock injectors.

 

bought mine a year and a half ago brand new.. black evo 9 se.. with 6 year bumper to bumper, and 10 year powertrain warrantee... and it's still completely stock.. =) save for the swift springs.. but yea.. i would do the exact same thing all over again..

 

Whats does the SE evo have that the gsr and other models don't?

 

When I got my GG IX MR...ONLY thing I would've done differently is looked for white. At the time I didn't think GG was as popular as it is now. lol

But that car is sold... I now own an Evo VIII aka the "green beast." And there is absolutely NOTHING...well maybe some longer gears.

 

I was all gun-ho to get a white one (non mr), i overlooked the SE's....if i could do it over again i would've gotten an SE

 

would of got a RS and make it a pump gas monster

 

No. I was unaware of what i would be getting into with a used Evo. I didn't have EvoM at my fingertips, and i was an anxious buyer. I bought the first and only used Evo in the my state at the time. I regret it quite frequently, and do wish i could go back.

 

I would go for a IX SE for sure....

 

Grandmas evo huh? Do explain.....

Well a used evo is about my only choice. However when the time comes to buy i hope for it to be from someone on here...

 

an IX SE, or IX RS, 5spd for sure...

 

IX RS 5-speed instead of a IX MR 6 speed.

 

i woulda bought a white one instead....

 

i wouldnt blow 2 motors or spend so much money on it!!!!
