New Owner '03 LY Evo 8 :D

I picked her up in July, just never had a chance to make a nice thread in the newbie forum.

$19k even, 40k miles.

I am a two-time LS1 owner; I autox'ed my '99 SS and sold her for a profit this summer, and I had a 2002 Z28 with a nice heads/cam package that made 432whp, but I sold her because I was really looking for something different.

At an autocross event, I co-drove a 2006 Evo IX MR, and was hooked. I am trying to buy a house this year, so instead of forking over a chunk of change for a new evo, I found this one driven by a particularly wealthy exec at swisher international. He was a Porsche Club of America instructor and raced his two 911s (... :bitter

This was his 'company car,' and no lie, his company paid the lease payments on this thing!

Anyways, I have been taking this car to autocross every single weekend since I bought her in July. What a blast..

Sweet. Congrats and welcome. That looks like a blast! You don't see many of the lightning yellows, so that is even sweeter.

Hey jon! I had a shop put the LSD in this week, along with an ACT HDSS and a prolite flywheel. I pick it up tomorrow hoping everything goes well, so I'll definitely let you know!

Your car still in one piece I hope

Welcome aboard! Car looks sweet. I had a 99 ls1 z28. I miss it quite a bit, but I intend to not make the same mistake with the IX.

Congrats on the car!
