Finally bought an Evo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been interested in the Evo for a long time and almost bought one a year or two ago but decided after I sold my s2k I wanted a smaller car payment and got a 06si. Well things have really changed for me in the last 9 months, got married, having a baby and got a new job. So I am using this situation to tell the wife I need a four door car. I called Medina yesterday and gave them money for a new Evo9 SE BR350 (Apex Silver). It is going to buschur on Monday and I hope to pick it up on sept 23rd. If anyone can chime in and tell me what else I should put on the car while at buschur that would be great (ex gauges, or any advice you have about parts)

Thanks
Chris

I think the BR350 should keep you entertained for a bit considering it comes with 350hp. Just get the feel of the car first and then you can go mod crazy. Break it in properly, drive it like you stole it and then it comes time for the big toys.

the Civic Si is a great car. Best handling FWD car i have ever driven. I have the Hondata reflash, Injen CAI and Greddy Evo2 exhaust on mine and its a blast. I average about 28mpg city/hwy driving and I can fit my road bike in the back with the seats folded down. I loved the s2k, just make sure you have an extra car if you need to haul things. I am 6'4'' and I look forward to the extra head room in the evo along with the crazy power.

man I dont know how you fit in the s2k. I'm 6 1 and it was a tight fit for me. I'm eyeing an evo but then there's the SI 4 door coming out soon.

Congrats, good choice! I have two kids - they love it; the rear seat is big enough, car seat fits fine.

i think he means he bought an Evo 9 SE and is taking it to buschur to get fitted with the BR350 package. (exhaust, highflow-cat/testpipe, ECU flash, boost gauge, gauge pod) and i think thats all that comes with it....and at less than $1300 for the whole package i don't know why i'm not jumping on that

From their websiet it looks like buschur has a relationship with mitsu and some dealers might even sell complete buschur cars. does that mean mitsu will warranty work done by buschur. If buschur is like saleen with the mustang that would be great.
