im really looking hard for an evo and i love the lightning yellow ones and the yellow evo 9s are sexy as hell but ive never seen one in the US and ive seen it a few times on youtube videos but different countries. im wondering, is it only available in other countries or just extremely rare here? and if your selling one, PM ME NOW!!! lol

 

They are sold in the US, look in the FS section and you might find one.


edit: Nvm, I thought you meant the Evo 8, sorry. Yeah those arent sold in the US but there were some who converted their LY Evo 8 to a 9

 

Only IX's you see in the US that are yellow are either converted or re-painted.

 

that sucks, what a shame.. guess ill keep looking for a yellow evo 8

 

my friend has a yellow 05 (i think ssl) that he might be selling. It has an intake, turboback (including 02 housing), ic pipes, and a tune from ivey making 310whp.
21k miles or something.
located in upstate ny

if you want more info at all, pm me.

 

I drive a yellow 8 but not selling it. Haha keep looking though. I'm pretty sure your gonna find one.

 

Yeah, I got me a LY 8 too and I love it. Didn't like the yellow at first and just thought "Hey, it's an Evo. Color won't mater" but I just ended up liking the color a lot. Really brightens up the night.

Anyways, don't know your budget but I'm on Autotrader for you and found quite a lot.

wow thanks i really appreciate this, im gonna take a look now

 

I didnt know they never sold LY IXs in the states, thats why I never see them lol.

 

they dont sell LY evo 11's in the states, or anywhere. They do sell LY 8's though. If for some weird reason someone wants one.

 

Well we will se when the XI's come out lol

 

Fixed it, jerks lol.

 

you should get a 9 and get it painted yellow instead.. The paint will definitely be better than Mitsu's paint..

 

just buy a LY Evo VIII and convert it to a IX. buy a IX front bumper and jdm rear bumper and paint it, get jdm headlights and tail lights, and if you want you can replace the seats with the Evo IX Recaros. but if you want Mivec i would just buy an Evo IX and repaint it yellow. would be cheaper than swapping the stock Evo VIII motor for a IX.

 

What I heard from a friend, the crash beam on an VIII would make it impossible to install a IX front. Don't know if this is true or not. Just what I heard from him (he doesn't even own an Evo so I really don't believe in him).

I know for sure you can't install a JDM rear bumper because of the crash beam. You would either have to remove it (which I highly suggest not doing as someone might rear end you really bad) or make a custom beam.

As for Mivec, you can do an 8.5 conversion, which is use the stock VIII block and a Mivec IX head with IX ECU.

Personally, it'll take a lot of time and money to do a complete IX swap. Just get a IX and if you want yellow that bad, get a paint job and a very reputable place. Not many ppl have yellow IXs so you'll get noticed.
