Hey guys,

I said my last goodbyes to my Z (completely parted out) and took a last drive on Wednesday before picking up my new ride. I still miss the Z but I'm in love with my new car, an Evolution IX MR. I have been wanting an Evo for a while and with the Z being a 5AT I finally put my mind to it and got the Evo. I love the looks and feel of the IX especially the MR's 6 speed tranny. And the BEST part? - My fill up only costs $46 (instead of $63) and I get 23 mpg on the first week even with all the traffic I was in! I know I'll miss the Z but finally getting my hands on a 6 speed is very rewarding. This car's response and acceleration is incredible!

My plans so far is to lightly modify it. I am not one to enjoy buying a modified car because I want it in 100% my specifications. However, the previous owner did some modifications (light) and had the car tuned to specs already. It's incredible that I found this seller because he wasn't even looking to sell and 90% of what I wanted done to the car he had already did.

from seattle, I never seen this evo before but that's a pretty good deal for a 9

 

great price for a ix mr...take good care of her

welcome to the fam

 

Thanks bro, the guy is a memebr on the board but he doesn't go on that much. Great fellow though, I promised himt o take good care of the car. Btw since you're in Bellevue I was thinking of making an Eastside meet, if you're interested please look for it within the next couple days on the NW forum. I'd love to meet with you guys

Thanks bro, it's nice to be welcomed because it's always very difficult to switch cars and platforms, not knowing who to come to for help etc. But I believe this community seems to be great so far and I look forward to learning from everyone

 

lol I'm not those guys that like to go for meeting.
I keep everything low haha

 

haha alright well I'm waving at any Evos I see Actually, now that I think about it weren't you at Factoria Mall one time when it was super hot out? I remember coming up to an Evo owner with a BBY evo 8 asking him about the cars because his looks really nice.

 

damn nice pick up...has pretty good mods already...

 

Haha, you have the same color as my IX MR too. Great pictures anyway.

Eastside meeting? There is once-a-month-meeting on NWEvos, you can check it out under NW Region.

 

AWD>RWD

You made a good choice. This coming winter you will not regret it

A short throw shifter should be your next mod or some mo boost

 

Correct me if I am wrong, there is no 6spd short shifter in the market. I have double checked with Gruppe's, Speed Element and Vividracing.

 

whyd u take pics of a Z by a lexus dealership. that makes no sense

 

Sorry bro, I didn't even realized I posted OLD pics of my Z when I first bought it in January of 07 (bought it used obviously from the Lexus dealership). Thanks for pointing that out, I just added pics of the Z as of March of this year before I started parting it out in April.

 

Ooops forgot it was a MR...

Hmm.. Some more boost then eh

Sick Z but the MR is sicker

 

f*kin awesome

 

Man your interior looks exactly like mine. Gotta love the Defi's. Get some Swift springs on there though. Looks nice. How you like it compared to the Z?
