Talking So... what was your EVOLUTION...?

Well, in July 0f 99 i purchased this... 1999 Honda Civic Si...



modded it to hell... Supercharger pushing 10psi, dynoed at 227.3hp, but was more finicky than a mother ****er...

ended up looking like this...





traded her in in July of 02... just didn't trust driving her anymore... and it was constant tuning and adjustments...

then i got this... 2002 Mitsubishi Galant GTZ...



had a few mods, I/H/E, suspension, wheels... i liked the car alot, had great looks, but was very uninspiring to drive...

ended up looking like this...



had to trade her in cause i missed the 5 speed, and i wanted something with some more *****...

enter the EVO...



picked her up April 30th...

now looks as such...



So, what's your EVOLUTION...?

my story...

Bought this baby back in March of 99....



After lots of time and money she looked like this:



I was finally in the financial situation to buy the car i've been driving in Gran Turismo all my life, the Si got traded in and the parts parted out...



And here's the new ride with her JDM tails...

Don't have pics but...

When I graduated high school I bought my first car. It was a brand new 1994 Toyota Paseo. I drove it for about 5 years....actually til Dec. 12, 1999. I hydroplaned into a wall and totalled it. It was the best thing to ever happen to me.

Received my insurance check and put a deposit on the first Pheonix Yellow 2000 ITR in Louisville. Finally, after 3 months of waiting with no car it came it. I loved that car. I drove the living **** out of it. I ended up mis shifting and bending the valves and had it fixed, but she was naver the same afterwards.

While owning the ITR, I bought a 93' Civic CX hatchback. Had a JDM B16 swapped into it and proceeded to sink a crap load of money into it. I started getting fed up with both of my tempermental Honda's.

Jan. 12, 2003 I bought my fiance a silver 2003 Escape. While being there, I had my eye on this nice 03' Zinc Yellow Cobra. After about 4 hours of thinking about it, I stripped my ITR the next day and traded it in on the 03' Cobra and sold my hatch the following week.

June. 7, 2003 the day after I closed on my brand new house I traded the 03' Cobra in on my new Rally Red EVO. I was having to much trouble out of the Cobra so I decided it was just time since I was offered a really good trade in being I bought it on the A-Plan.

So as of right now, I own my EVO and a 2003 Escape and that is the way it's just gonna have to be for the next 5 years.

I still have the Type R I just can't see myself getting rid of it.

Looks like a lot of former Honda/Acura owners
