First Evo Silver IX
Bought my first evo from Honda Of Downtown LA in CA and had it shipped to me in FL.Only to find out that when it arrived the the clutch is slipping(60,000 miles).Slips between 3000-5000 rpm.Other than that I love the car.Any one know if the former owner was a member here.Here's some pictures.
