This is my 3rd Evo now. Bought it mostly stock and was going to keep it a stock turbo car with full bolt ons. Well that didnt last long to now car going 9.1, soon to be hopefully in the 8s. Still remains a full street car I drive the car all the time!

Now the car is used for the drag strip and cruising around and car meets mostly

I bought mine as a DD, then did a track day. It was all over at that point and has been an upward spiral into a dedicated track car that rarely see the public roads. It is a great track weapon! 134k miles on stock turbo and bottom end..

For now the Evo is the daily driver. My first car finally bit the dust and I had enough money to buy one, those combined with my childhood dream of owning an Evo are the reason one now sits in my driveway

Eventually I plan on taking it to track days and autocross events, but not until I have a car that I can drive to school/work when the Evo needs down time

Bought mine new in early 2004, daily drove it till it hit 100,000 then I fully restored it, I rebuilt the engine, transfer case, transmission, full on factory Apex Silver paint job, replaced any trim, moulding, interior or exterior part that still didnt look new, steam cleamed the entire undercarriage and so on.

Looks like it just rolled off the lot back when i bought it, now it sits in my garage all day, and is driven probably no more then 100 miles per month unless I take to out of town, has 101,253 on it right now.

Was a daily for 3 years until I got a 2nd car. Now it's a garage queen, waiting for a built motor.

I bought my X for a daily driver and as a reminder that selling my old IX was a huge mistake.
