Going from an VIII/IX to an X?
UPDATE. So I went today and bought a 2014 GSR with nav in wicked white. I didn't even bother taking the 05 as I know there's no way in hell a bolt on evo with a straight exhaust cramming hard is gonna get any decent of an offer. I will prob sell private even though I love this car. I'll see. But for future buyers I will try n update this thread every now and then. So far. Very nice car. Handles very precise and is more comfortable. The only thing I will miss about my evo is purely out of nostalgia and sentiment. The evo VIII and IX where the ones I grew up drooling over and when I finally got one it meant a lot. Only way I'll sell is to a real evo head anyways, don't want to see another evo get trashed.
congrats!!! that is what i got for DD too

I used to hate the x. I was all "no, it doesnt look like any evo of the past and no 4g63 means it sucks" now i cant look at one in person without admiration. Theyre really nice looking cars especially when tastefully done. The older evos, IMO, need a lot more to make them look nice. But i love them and always will. So far. Im very surpised hoe composed and balanced this car is. I dont feel the weighg at all. Very nimble and predictable. Im not going the of a straight TBE again. This time im just doing a catback single exit. Intake, intercooler with pipes, fuel pump and tune for now. Cosmetic wise i will prob run rpf1 or some wedsports. Lip and maybe a slight drop.
Nice car man. I was sad to sell my 9mr and if i had to redo it all over again would have kept it. Now i am at a crossroads to get another evo and have been looking at x's and excellent condition 9's. Glad you enjoy the ride

I would consider the x. Its alot nicer, newer, handles better, feels just as small, steering is crisp! The 4b11t is a much smoother motor where as the 4g63 feels more on/off. The 4b11t has also come along way and people are really cracking into them say way it took the 4g63 a while before it was figured out. I love my X and still Have my VIII. Ill either gut and track the VIII or just sell it.
I was in your shoes about a year ago. Decided to keep my 8, I plan on paying off my 10 by the end of this year. its hard financially but i'm happy that I kept my 8, One day I will pass it on to my kids. Hope they appreciate it as much as I do 
I won't change my Evo 9 mr I think there nicer, hard to find and they faster too. Like my Evo and I am buying another car and put my Evo 9 for collection always been my dream car.
