Another newb from jersey

I'm about to pick up my new evo x this weekend, its graphite grey-sss package gsr. Im not going to go crazy modding , just got it for a daily driver, i just sold my hellion turbo 04 cobra, and my whippled 03 lightning. im looking to relax a little in the car modding for a while and i think this will keep me happy for a bit.

Wow.

Quite a drastic change in car formats.

The Evo X should be very fun for you to toss around the twisty's.


I pass by South Plainfield on my way to work all the time.


Welcome to evom from a fellow NJ resident .

I saw this thread to late. I was going to tell you not to go to Bell. Even if you got the better deal they are just bad luck and problematic (Especially service!). You should have made the drive up to Maywood. Mike Ko = King Evo Salesman. Hope it all works out man. Good luck with the X. Should have bought a Evo IX.
