'12 MG EVO X GSR with GramLights 57DR & ISC Coilovers

Hey guys,

First of all I would like to introduce myself. My name is Tristan and a week ago, I traded my 2011 STi in for a 2012 Mercury Gray EVO X GSR. I've always loved the STi more than the EVO but after test driving the EVO, I came to realize, why didn't I get into an evolution sooner? The EVO's handling compared to the STi is completely amazing. I do miss the torquey-ness of the STi, the comfort features of the STi and the 6th gear for daily driving but I love the performance aspect of the EVO so much better. When I had my STi, I was always worried about ringland failures I guess that's also one of the reasons I choosed to switch over to the dark side.

Thanks for looking!

A couple of pics of my STi (295/353 Tuned by Chris "R.I.P." at EFI Logics)









Here's a couple of pics of my '12 MG EVO X GSR with GramLights 57DR 18x10.5 +22 and ISC N1 Coilovers

Thanks guys! At times, I do miss my STi but I think the EVO already looks so much better overall. Lol.

You'll be good. Stroller will fit, baby seat will fit. I haul two kiddies around in mine.

Great looking car!

Congrats on the car and little one on the way. Car seat and stroller will fit just fine, sometimes just takes a little creativity to get the stroller in the trunk.

Beautiful STi and gorgeous Evo you had/have there. I love them both. If I had the money, I would have an STi in addition to my Evo X. Really love the wheels and the stance. Well done Sir!
