After a month long wait I finally was able to bring my Evo IX MR up to Canada. Little bit of history for you guys in the states, the Evo 8/9s are extremely rare where I am. We're talking more rare than F430s and LP560s in the summer. Before my own I've only seen 2 Evos in Vancouver. I'm loving every bit of the car, the pictures are of it during the detail and after. I've been looking for an Evo/STI for a while and finally got one. The car is currently sitting at 7300 miles (no not a typo). For you car care nuts, it's wearing 2 coats of Menzerna Powerlock and 1 coat of Autoglym HD Wax. Here are the pics

Paperwork ready for export!


3hr long drive and it's home...no they aren't all mine. The one on the left is ridiculously fast...600AWHP fast


After a good wash




Letting the 1st coat of sealant cure for 12hrs


Post detail pictures! Car is wearing 2 coats of Menzerna Powerlock and 1 coat of Autoglym HD Wax if you missed it.












Thanks for looking!

 

Looks hott! any info on the suspension set up?

 

Congrats! Car looks great.

 

Thanks, it's lowered on Tein S-Techs, will be replacing them with coilovers soon though. Also has Tein strut bars.
Thanks!

 

congrats on your pick up!

 

congrats, Brendan! Such an uheard of pickup, low miles for a good price! I still think you'd be better off spending money elsewhere than coils, but that is just me.

Enjoy it, and nice detailing!

BTW - what happened to the other BBS rims that guy had? I think you said they were green?

 

ohh wow. Nice pick up. I like the picture with the subbies and your evo!

 

thanks!
Thanks bro! Don't worry I have it all planned out, this year I will be doing coilovers, greddy ti-c, MAPerformance o2 Dump Downpipe, and possibly LICP. Reason being that I want coilovers is that I don't do tracking/auto-x very often. So I want to be able to adjust ride height when needed and not lose to much in the handling department. I'm ordering a set of Stance GR+ Pro's soon unless I find a set of KW V3s used. And yes it did have green BBS wheels, I wanted to go for the cleaner look so the owner supplied the original wheels with less than 2000 miles on the tires. He had two sets of the OEM BBS'.

 

So your planning a alignment each time you re adjust correct? If you don't want to auto x or track just do a nice spring strut combo. Nice pick up btw.

 

Thanks, I probably should have re-worded that. But yeah I just want to be able to go lower and not worry about blowing a set of struts. I'd like the Bilsteins but it just rides to high for me when paired with swifts or other springs. The teins offer a very nice drop, but to aggressive for the struts.

 

don't forget to add a tune. The single most important piece when adding "go" mods. Fortunately for you English Racing is a day trip (there and back, and a very long day!).

 

Nice. congrats bro.

 

Nice pickup
WW Hotness....the Wax is sick

 

That looks clean as can be. nice..
