Where did you find this vehicle? It looks like the exact one located at our Carmax here in Indianapolis. Same price. Same mileage. I test drove that twice!

 

Congrats on the new car. You'll enjoy it.

As far as the tires go, don't worry about it. It's a known practice for Carmax to replace tires of almost all the cars that go thru them. So may be you just get a new set from Carmax.

 

yeah i think its the one in indy too.

 

Interesting, a forum member drove the exact car I'm getting. It was definitely that Carmax vehicle. So how did it drive? Was the clutch ok? Any issues at all?

 

Good choice of color..time for modding..Justin

 

nice, welcome... any mod plans yet?

I would do this:

fuel pump
boost gauge
manual boost controller
turbo back exhaust
air filter
tune

 

that used to be my friends car, he used to track that thing every weekend till the tranny blew. - jk, hahaahahahaha, good luck i love the rs.

 

Since I compete in SCCA autox stock class, there are only a few mods I can do. I need to save up money for R-compound race tires and a set of Enkei RPF1 in 17x8. Maybe some double adjustable Konis and brake pads, that's about it.


Nice one, lol.

 

I understand that sleeper

 

One of my good friends is begging me to get at least an ECU flash and turbo back exhaust, just those two should produce decent gains.

The 4G63 is new to me, my previous car had a naturally aspirated 2.5 liter engine, and bolt on mod gains were disappointing to say the least. Very low hp/cost ratio.

 

your friend is correct, these cars are bottled up and rich from the factory, so the basic mods really wake them up. I've had a few customers that picked up ~ 40ftlbs of torque with some basic mods after a tune.

 

you suck lol i was wondering why that thing went missing from autotrader. I was actually gonna go to my local carmax and talk about a trade on my next day off... and poof, its gone lol... grats though ill find another, prolly going EVo9 GSR SE now anyways

 

Car was perfect. If I would have been dumb enough, it would have been mine and I would have traded my 8. But im in debt as much as it is

Great Purchase

Your guna love it

 

Just signed the papers, take delivery tomorrow morning. Some idiot forgot to do the state inspection and some BS about how they could be fined I drove without a sticker. They gave me a loaner Jetta 1.8T manual and it's seen redline tonight more than it ever will in years. So 06 IX RS WW with 55xx miles, paid out the door $26,791 which includes tax, tag and fee. I did get to drive it and it's fine, like new.

 

Congrats on your purchase, looks sweet, looks just like mine, except for the stock exhaust LOL! Everytime I see the EVO in white I think it looks so freakin' sweet, but then I see mine in white and can't wait to change the color. I guess white gets kind of old. Good luck on your purchase.
