Ok, ok, it's my first car, but not auto.

My name is Mike and a little over a month ago I got this 2005 Evolution VIII, Apex Silver, GSR/SSL w/ 31k miles.

It was a spur of the moment kind of deal. I always liked STI's and EVO's but never imagined owning one. I loved the sound of the STI's, but it seems like everyone has one. And I like the fact that the EVO has a useable rear seat, big trunk, and lots of potential for relatively cheap.

I drove by a large lot, and saw this EVO there. I decided I would test drive it as I probably would not have another chance to.
I drove it and had to have it. It rocked my world.





mmm..SSL


I have already done a few modifications to it including-
Buschur 3" TBE / Magnaflow
K&N Typhoon
AEM Boost / Uego

I have a Walbro 255 and Grimmspeed EBC that I'm going to put in when I install some GSC S1's / Fidanza gears and 750cc squirters.

Thanks!

 

nice evo looks so clean for a 05'

 

Nice car, welcome. don't wreck it.

 

Big Trunk? Haha. Id like to see what you call a small trunk. Nice car though!

 

nice car. have fun with it.

 

My Jeeps, lol

 

Very nice man.. its gonna be hard letting it go when its time..

 

Welcome and congrats. You will love it every time you get in and drive. Respect the car, for many don't and end up wrecking it.

 

Nice license plate frame. Enjoy your car and SAFE drive~.

 

Good luck. Drive smart.

 

Bad luck. Drive reckless. Haha congrats.

 

welcome...typhoon intakes don't yield great results on these cars

I'd look to swap that out

aside from that take some time to learn the car before you go mod crazy...be careful out there

Thats a very nice car for a first car.

 

sure, it has AWD but that doesn't mean you can go as fast as you want around turns.. I've known about 4 local people that have totalled their Evos by thinking they were racecar drivers on some back roads. And btw, if you're thinking about going off-roading.. still take the Jeep. Your evo will most likely get stuck and/or you'll ruin VERY expensive drivetrain parts. If your own money is going into this car then I'm sure you'll be just fine as most kids who get cars that their parents pay for usually don't respect them the same way they would if it was their own hard-earned money going into it. Be smart, be safe and enjoy!
