Goodbye 350z :( hello Evo IX MR :D
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.

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.

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.
