Wassup forum..Just bought an EVO yesterday and i must say that i am VERY pleased with my purchase. I was originally shopping for a used STi but took the EVO for a spin because the dealership was closer. I bought it used with only 10,000 miles on her. Came with the sights and sounds package and the smart key. Car is in mint condition...this machine puts my 06 G35 Coupe to shame. Im still getting use to the turbo and AWD...i love everything about the car but my only complaint is the visibility out the rear window because of the wing. I was a lurker on iwsti.com for a long time. I hope this site is just as friendly. Good guys over there but i had to part ways because of my purchase..lol

I've only had mine since the 3rd. I've gotten used to the wing but since I have NAV, I've ordered what I need for a back-up camera. These are cars with a lot of customizations options...enjoy picking out your add-ons.

I looked around the forums to get an idea of what i should do next to the car..does anyone know where i can get the "tune" or "reflash" done in NJ?

So you guys do that extra factory tune that everyone talks about? I have no mods, all stock. Will a tune from you guys give me any noticeable power or gas mileage?

... and block out the ability to see cops behind you . It's cool, I'm getting used to it. I have the Aero strip on mine which makes it even thicker.

We do not do the Mitsubishi OEM reflash, all our tuning is done on the dyno, no guesswork here!!!

Yes very noticeable gains in power, tq, and overall drivability, the gas mileage comes down to how much you can control your right foot. Gas mileage if driving the same way should be noticeably better because the evo comes pig rich from the factory.
