I'll tell you what though, after driving a Subaru for a couple of years it is nice to hear the sound of a real engine instead of a sewing machine!
haha

Nope, never had a Celica. Must be someone else.
Let me add to my original review:

Gas mileage: First tank combined hwy/city = 21.0 mpg
Second tank mostly city = 19.9 mpg

Hey Darkstar. Welcome to the board.

If you haven't done so already, check in at www.socalevo.net. It's the local club for us SoCal-ers. See you at a meet.

SC~

Darkstar, seeing your pic from the front I noticed you have the same little black rubber plug in front facia (for off-set front lic plate) that mine has. Are front plates required in CA? Has anyone come up with an easy fix to "hide" that hole? I think I'll take my chances on a ticket and go without a front plate, really seems to change that beautiful front end. Any thoughts?

Front Plate

Yes the front plate is required in California, but I'm with you, I'm going to run without it. I wasn't home ten minutes with the new car and had that front holder off! John

Thats a hell of a good price you got your evo for.



If anyone is selling their red evo without a sunroof pm me. Im interested in buying a second hand evo.

1500mi=used I would NOT pay $27k for that. Offer them what they would offer Evo owners looking to trade in their car. I think it was around $22k? Use that as a starting point and work your way up. But cut it off at $24500. I wouldn't pay more than that.
