Another impulse buy!

So I went Friday to test drive an EVO and STI for comparison and 3 hours later I drove my new baby home!

So I will be researching hardcore and planing the modification list. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Take it to EFI Logics in Bethel, probably five or ten minutes from where you live. Chris Schoen will make it work like heaven blessed it itself. Then drive it until you get bored of the power, then mod it. :]

Thanks for the congrats!

At first I didn't like the styling of the EVO and was leaning more to the STI but I must say I like the EVO interior (mainly the seats) better than the STI. The drive is also more firm than the STI. The selling point was the EVO was 2 grand cheaper!

I plan on keeping the motor stock until atleast the spring and just do research on the car itself to learn the ins and outs. Are there any threads I should take a look at? Also does anyone know where I can find an owners manual online?

ElementK - Thanks for the heads up! Glad to know there is a good tuner shop right around the corner.
