Yeah so I know everyone hates pics of stock evo's but I had to post my mandatory "got my evo" thread. I been lurkin on the boards for a couple months now cuz I've been wanting to get one for awhile. I used to be on VWvortex.com and had a 2000 Jetta VR6 and traded it in. I got the sun/sound package and I LOVE IT! I know leather and sunroof adds a lil weight to the car but I don't care it's fast as it is. But anyway here's some crappy pics I took with my cell phone..






Doesn't quite capture the red too well, it looks much better in person. I wasn't crazy about getting the red because it attracts attention but this was my second choice, blue was my first choice but they were all out of electric blues apparently. But I am happy nonetheless with Red, brings out that rally look

Hope to get to know some of you better as I will need help with various questions and concerns

Congrats on your new purchase, I'll be buying myself an Evo.....in 2010.

 

looks great man (nothing beats brand spankin new). congrats and welcome to the boards.

 

welcome to the obsession.. boy i forgot how high car sits when its new..

 

Nice car man!!!!! I also have a rally red. Good choice in color, now your ready for lift off.

 

Enjoy it man, I remember how excited I was when I first bought mine. BTW, it's good they were out of blue cause red's the best color anyway

 

hehe yeah that 4x4 look gets to me sometimes, lowering it will be one of my first priorities...want that tien in car adjustable coilovers but probably will settle for springs.

 

Don't ruin it with springs, please. If you're going to mod the suspension, at least get coilovers.

 

Nice car, it looks good. Pictures look really good for a camera phone too, not to shabby at all. Anyways welcome and enjoy!

 

congrats and welcome to hell! as for suspension. if your going to drop it at all go with coilovers. the price difference in big but if your going to be modding a car like the evo you gotta go all out! ive been able to drive a evo with stock suspension (mine) one with tein s-techs and one with tein type flex dampers and i would go with the coilovers over the stock or just springs and i would also go with stock over just s-techs.

 

I hear you guys on the coilovers, it does make sense to go all out on this car. I honestly don't plan on testing this car's handling limits so I'm not sure if coilovers are the right way to go, plus I am on a tight budget...however I'm in no rush to to get my car where I want it to be...soo I may just take my time and save, we shall see how things go.

 

tien basic or super street are the way to go. Cheaper than all out hardcore coilovers but much better than springs.

 

congrats, and nice upgrade from a vw !

 

That is RED hot! Congrats!

 

Congrats man, nice Evo.
