Hi guys...just bought an evo 9 MR

Hey guys!

Im new around here, My name is Junior...im from Connecticut...im 17, just graduated, and I purchased a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9 MR today. It's probably one of the most exciting things when the car of your dreams is driven off the showroom just for you .

Well...I know this car is not a machine that likes to be ignored...so Im looking for pointers and everything and anything you guys could tell me, cuz I probably wont know it. I already put 100 miles on the car today , I was careful not to go over 5k rpms, since the guy that sold it to me said I should wait at least 500 miles before testing the real power of everything.

Oh yea...its a graphite grey pearl MR

Great choice, but how in the world does a 17yo kid have 35k cash for a car?

Be sure to boost plenty, but just don't go over 5k. At 500-600 miles, start romping on it to 7500rpm...

It's really not that complex...I work and launch sites such as www.xoogie.com (this is a search engine that gives you the chance to win something if you search the word of the day or search at the right time of the day, just an alternative to searching google and having no chance of winning something)...btw...not trying to spam you guys with the website, just trying to explain what it is I do

thanks for the help with the cd...ill try to burn it in cda this time...waddya guys suggest for a new disc changer thingy
