I always liked evos. Period. My first car was a tiburon, did a couple mods but it was slow and cheap on the inside. Now I drive an 06 mustang with a few mods, but it's also pretty slow, and I see them EVERYWHERE. It's ridiculous when I see a soccer mom driving the same car as me. So I decided now was a good time as any. I've talked with the local dealer a bunch of times, and I'm putting a deposit down on the X. So I'll be the first person in my area with a brand new evo, built to order.

It's nice to see there's a big online community for these cars. I only see a few around here. I'm going to look around the forum, but what kinds of mods do you guys do? Anything big? Or just small things like intakes/exhausts/tunes, wheels, kits, lowering etc?

This is gonna be fun

 

there's everything on this forum from bone stock to all out race machines with huge hp numbers.

and oh yes it is fun !

 

Welcome yeah i came from a small horsepower car also. The evo was a big difference between my 94 celica 110 hp lol anyway as for mods i dont think there will be to many for the x since there will be a new engine introduced sombody prove me wrong.

 

I'm sure there won't be at first, no. That's how it always is with a new car. But about 6 months-1 year into production there will be. I just meant what are some of the ones you guys do on average based on the way the evo is already built. I went from 140hp to 210hp to hopefully next 300-320hp haha. I mostly just want an AWD car and the evo is the best out there. Subaru's are ghey.

 

If your talking about a v6 06 stang then what do u expect, if your talking about the 3v GT then there capable of low 13's stock w/ the elect. nanny taken care of, w/ a few mods i cant imagine it being "slow".....As for the evo id probably choose it over a new GT myself, which im probably gonna do. From what i got here the basic starting mods are a flash,catback,K&N drop in filter,mbc,fuel pump and maybe a downpipe. Pretty inexspensive mods and they'll get you moving pretty good. Im new to all this myself. American Muscle guy here

 

Soccer mom drives the same car as you..... hahahahahaha
Wise decision!

 

welcome to the site.. you wont regret your decision.

 

Talked to a mitsu dealer with this used IX:

Gonna go check it out today, apparently it's in "mint" condition. The guy I spoke to was an evo buff. He's actually seen the X in action during a trip to Japan. (I'm sure I totally believed him, but that's not the point.) Prices are projected to be about 36-38 starting, but each dealer is pricing it 10 over sticker. The evo has become a $50,000 car. Who would've guessed.

I really just wanna rape all of my SRT4 friends that think they're hot ****... haha
