Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myslef. My name is Paul and i just bought a 2005 Evo from SouthCoast Mitsubishi with 5k miles on it. Great place great , great price.



I am new to evo's but not new to modding.

I have a 2001 Supercharged Cobra(430hp/400tq at the wheels) but this car is so much fun as a daily driver.






Anyways i am in Los Angeles, is there ever any Evo meets?

Take care everyone.

 

Welcome...South Coast is the Spot....they had a lot of nice 8's when I was there...you are gonna have to race yourself and tell us who wins....

 

LOL i know. My cobra buddies were so excited when they found out that i bought an evo. I believe thier 1st words were" When are we going to line up"? Honestly from the hole, the 1st 100ft i think that the EVO has me. I should put my wife in the cobra and see what happens.

SouthCoast is a great place. I just bought it 2 weeks ago. the internet mgr Mike was great.

How much did you get it for out the door? that is exactly what I want to get in august same color too.

 

What part of L.A. are you in? I'll probably see you on the 5 or 101 parking lots sometime.

Nice Cobra!

 

iNEEDanEVO - I paid 25000 out the door. It was a good deal.


dayf - I work in Burbank, and live in Rosemead. Gotta love the 5 Parking Lot.

Thanks for the kind words.

 

'grats on the new toy! South Coast is craaaazy with the Evo sales. Can't wait to get my baby. - Oh, and nice Mustang.

 

wow, 25000 out the door, not bad at all!!!!

nice choice on going with an evo, what made you want one after owning the cobra?

 

Well i still have my cobra, i use it for car shows/drag events/open track. I love it to death it is so much fun.

The story goes when i got married my wife owned a Purple Saturn. Well time came to buy a new car and she wanted a truck, so i insisted on a SVT Lightning. Which you see in the 1st picture(silver). So i got stuck commuting in her purple saturn. I hated it with a passion. Finally i had enough, and we traded in the saturn for a Evo.

I looked at the STI's and the Evo. The evo was more appealing to me. The interior, less turbo lag. Once i drove it i was in love.

The main reason i guess to sum it all up was that i was bored with the saturn and wanted something fun to commute in, and still be able to attend open track events. I have found it with the Evo.

There's actually evo meets in burbank. If you check out the western region forum here or www.socalevo.net they have details on when and where. I haven't been to one myself.

 

Thanks for the info. I will look into that.
