Talking JUST GOT MY FIRST EVO!!!! 56k dunno...

So ive been into performance cars since I was 16 and I had a 2000 Trans Am WS6

yeah it had no stickers all paint and exhaust and a 6 speed yada yada. i loved my fbody but it was time for me to get into my dream car.

I had been looking at evo's for a long time and I happen to come across one in my price range at a dealer 5 minutes from my house after driving an hour to a dealer to look at one that they sold a week ago when they told me they had it ! But now i have my evo 8 and it is the funnest car i have ever been in! I understand the upkeep on a daily driven evo and im taking it to MZM Performance in Austin, Texas and having them check the car as thouroghly as possible to make sure everything is in check. What ever is messed up on it is getting fixed if anything it seems like a solid car. Ive been lurking on these forums for a while researching the cars and its the car for me!

SO HERE IT IS!!!














its got a carbon fiber hood, HKS intake, lowered a bit, Axis 18's not sure what model yet, downpipe back full HKS exhaust, grounding kit, everything else stock and i think a new clutch its mighty stiff. oh and i checked the underbody-not one scratch!

so tell me what you think! oh and i came from ls1tech so im hoping that this thread isnt filled with all the old men that fear change lol.

I love WW. Looks very clean. How many miles and how much $ if you don't mind me asking?

If it's lowered with Tien S-techs, be careful. They blew my front struts out after about 15-20K miles.

Good luck and let the mod bug begin, lol!!
