i work in the car industry and have access to wholesale, 05 RS with 26k on it came through with a re welded upper core support, i got it out the door for 12800... hehehehehe

 

did u get it through the edmunds discount?

 

not sure what that is... but no, just in the right place at the right time...only thing wrong with it is the back on the drivers seat is cracked and it pisses me off! lol

 

well i know if u work for certain automotive comp[anies then u can get good discounts and teh way to check those discounts, is usualy they give u a special login info through Edmunds. but anyways, lets not get off topic in this thread. u gotta a good.
thanks

 

good deal ! =)

 

Sold my last car (integra) cuz I finally found a ww mr. Put 7k down. I paid half and my parents paid the rest, total of 32k. 9 months after that my car was paid off. I'm 20 right now. I got the evo when I was 18. I'm a CSR at United Airlines.

 

nice !! congrats on paying it off =) you have the evo i want !!

 

Haha. I've been looking for a WW MR for a long time before that. Finally found it and I didn't let it pass. Now its time for modding!

 

gratz to everyone that got one!!!

 

Well, at 38, I've always had "sporty" cars (mazda RX-7, toyota MR2, honda delsol) nothing too exciting - all stock and N/A.

All through the 90's and early '00's I read all the car magazines, and kept an eye on the scene, but never really participated. Did get a set of cool wheels and tires for the DelSol, but that was it. Job stuff, buying a house, etc.. kept me from going too crazy.

When the EVO and STi came out in the states I was very interested. In '04 I got a killer deal on a '00 Subaru Impreza RS Coupe. Did the wheels & tires thing, but could not bring myself to do any more because it was still N/A.

Finally late '08 was the time to get what I've always wanted. Sold the Suby and got a 2006 Rally Red EVO IX MR. Finally something to mod!!
Lots of Buschur stuff -
Intake pipe and filter
Vband turboback with bullet muffler
Race FMIC w/upper & lower pipes

Solid front lower motor mount
Walbro 255
Forge MBC
Exedy twin disc
Shepherd built/cryo 5 speed trans.
Jester tune.

Would like to try coilovers for it, next.

This thing is amazing! - I actually laugh out loud, like a little school girl when I drive this thing. It is absolutely bonkers, as the brits would say. I LOVE it

It's not my daily driver, so it's tucked away in the garage till spring. I'll get some good pics then.

 

very cool ! awesome feedback everyone , really enjoying this !

 

FOSHO

 

your gonna laugh when u hear this...i had a honda element....lol...it was a nice practical car...and i was 30 years old...i had plans to get an rsx type s after i got the element paid off but i test drove that and a civic si and was like ??? ...i mean those are great reliable cars but there is like hardly no more power than my element had so i was like no thanks...i mean why do you want a sports car?..for performance...and i never have liked american sports cars like the mustang or anything...i did drive my brothers 1984 nissan 300zx for a few years back in college...i liked the power to weight ratio it had...anyways my brother had a new 350z and i drove it a few times but it just didn't feel right to me...felt like i was sitting back too far or something....then a guy at work told me to try an evo....and i had noticed one out front at the car lot a few days before....so i figured...i'll just test drive it....and the rest is history...funnest car i've ever driven

 

good thing you didn't settle for anything less than the evo !

 

Any mods? you gotta try at least bolt ons and a tune...it makes a big difference
