Sold my s2000, picked up a Evo VIII MR

well about 2 months ago the idea struck me to sell my s2000 and get a turbo car, and a more practical daily driver, so i thought of a STI, but then i remembered that Evo's are way better then STI's so why the hell would i want on of those. anyway after LOTS of searching for evos and test driving, i finally sold my car on 9-1-10 and had a evo in mind, but the guy was on vacation, so the following week i drove out of state (about 2 hours) and got the evo.

it is a 2005 MR with 70k miles. clean title, no accidents, very clean inside and out, and best of all its all stock except for the evo7 tailights and its lowered an inch. i payed 15,000 for it.

i already love this car and im very happy with my decision. i got some small parts for it already (WORKS shift knob, OEM window visors, Cobb AccessPORT)

the s2k i sold......

Looking good! The reasons you listed are the exact same ones that made me pick an evo over the s2k when I was searching for my next car. Good luck and enjoy!

Don't waste your money on Cobb Accessport. ECU flash does it all & it's free!

there are some very good tuners on the west coast you can check out Works I know they do some tuning only I think they might be in Socal. U can even mail out ur ECU to Bushcur or STM or 4WS tuning. There's a lot of good tuners in the states man. You can use the search option on here and it will help out very much! Good luck man and enjoy ur Evo. Great choice in color man.
