Congrats on the new car !!! Must feel good out of boot camp


Please no stickers on the car Its already fast enough


VG, JDM BUMPER, TBE. Induction box is nice and all but I think its a waste of money.

So I was at the stealership getting an oil change the other day. Theres a brand new red IX sitting in the lot looking totally molested. It had cf hood, a body kit, rims, racing hart stickers on the wing, bunch of stickers on the side of the car, and to top it off it had an EVOLUTION VIIII banner across the windshield in LARGE YELLOW LETTERING!!!

just cause you in the military doesn't mean you don't have time to mod, i work 6 days a week (army) and still put in work on a STI, EVO and WRX and a gixxer 6.

UUUHHHRRAAA bro! US MARINE CORPS sticker sounds good to me I got one on my rear window just above the trunk.

As for your clutch question, no it shouldn't stick at all. I drove my a total of 500 miles before I actually started getting on it and no stick issues... now after 30 passes down the track the stocker was toast with 1500 under its belt haha. Got any questions PM me and I will help you out my fellow leather neck

Please treat your Evo properly. When I was at LeJeune for 4 years, it was all too common for all the low-paid enlisted guys to spend all their money on a car they can't afford then make it look like a Super Street reject.

Are you sure you can afford an Evo, the maintenance, the gas, and the insurance on E-1/E-2 pay? I could only afford a '90 Talon TSi that I modded and raced, and I bought that thing for 8k with 6k down, but this was as an E-5. Might want to make sure you can afford everything after voiding your warranty with mods like an "induction box."

Btw, no reason for you to be looking at VG, rear diffuser, stickers, OR an induction box. Those are all the wrong things to get. Nothing wrong with a SMALL USMC sticker, but I really don't think that's what you meant when you listed it FIRST of the things you want to get...

Opinions are irrelevant in terms of what is good performance-wise. Looks you can argue, but it's pretty obvious what is worth the money and what isn't (i.e. stickers, VG, rear diffuser, induction box).

I'm also trying to preserve the public opinion of enlisted Marines, especially grunts like this guy. They are already known for not being too bright...
