Lol. From my original I guess let me reclarify. My wife supports me 100% with my hobbies, I get car parts and track gear from her for bdays and anniversaries like many of you. Thats why I said build a track car (not street legal) and leave the x stock. Its a really good car out of the box. I know everything can always be improved upon. I guess I should have 3 cars, one track car, 1 modded x for weekends and texas hill country, and 1 daily commuter. That would be ideal, but not practical for me I guess.

 

I definitely know what you mean. The few times I've put a car back to stock to sell I was pleasantly surprised at how nice they were to drive. The problem is that feeling wears off and you want a little more, then a little more and before you know it you’ve been through 3 turbos because the first 2 were too small.

For me it's about finding the balance between that stock like comfort and decent performance. Unfortunately for me it meant selling my X and getting a 335D.

 

My intent was to stay stock, when I bough my IX. My previous modding experiences weren't always favorable, I was happy with the car as it stood and I bought the car to keep, so durability, longevity, reliability and drivability were paramount. I've modded it slightly, a MBC, an exhaust, and a tune. The car looks stock, including the engine bay. I've considered going back to the stock exhaust and slightly detuning the car as a result, and I may one day.

 

lol

 

love it! if i go along with this, i should get myself a Ducati this weekend!

 

I'm only going back to stock to trade it in for a 2012 then ill put it right back on again.

 

I did. Full bolt-on to 100% stock. Only because I had to get warranty repair. I dont mind stay with stock during winter time. But when summer comes, going back to dark side. I am saving cash since went back to stock

 

I went back to stock when i sold my pther evo but never again. The amount of time, blood and swear words used was not healthy lol

 

 

Jesus! I wish I had the kinda funds where I could get something to throw it in their face!

"you cant swim!!" ... Wakeboard boat

"you over heat easy!!" ... Sand rail (desert gets hot... Work with me)

"you have asthma!!" ....lance armstrong's touring bike

Eat it nay Sayers! Lolz.

 

I think it so funny how some of us who have a bunch of repsonibilities (gf's, weddings, mortgages ) rationalize spending on our Evo. Sometimes it is hard and stressful as hell but Fuc# is it fun. I think the smile on your face right now is from seeing all the money your in bank account 😉

 

I lurk every so often. Ever since OT and TBR went soft and kept giving me warnings for posting funny/graphic pictures, I hang out on other private forums where they have a sense of humor.
