Hey STi owner in need of help..LOL
I didn't see anyone answer it... Stage 2 on an STi is what... wait for it... wait for it... okay, I hope you know, but it's TBE and tune, and some throw in a filter/intake. Regardless, it sounds like you will be very happy with the Evo. To my knowledge the MR trannies only have problems with heat. So unless you are track racing the car, it shouldn't matter much if you stay under 400 whp.
Good luck man, the IXs a great ride!

I do fully understand the EVO IX, im not a typical car buyer I own a sti because I like these type of cars, im aware that this is not your typical sedan, i do my research but to say 29,400 including my trade is ludicrous..my 08 sti has a payoff of 28,000 exactly, there car is 24,900, do the math, that just stupid to pay that much DONT GET ME WRONG THOUGH im willing to pay a little extra for a "rare" vehicle, im just not willing to get *** raped for it.

X wasn't bad, but I didn't trust Mitsu and their warranty to pay for one, and I liked the GR better... But what I really wanted was a sub 25k mile GSR IX... The cheapest I found was one right at 25k for 23k. 24.9k for an MR in good shape with low miles is a pretty good deal. Not trying to discourage you, just giving you my own advice, I searched for 6 months within 500 miles. Finally found a dealer owned GR with 6500 miles on it for 28k and couldn't pass on it. Especially since they gave me a pretty damn good deal on the Porsche.
Point is: 24.9k for a sub 25k mile MR in good shape is NOT *** rape. Not even close. At least not 6 months ago when I was looking, and the 6 before that while I was looking.
But if you are willing to travel, and can be patient, you'll find the deal you want. A guy here sold one with 11k miles on it for 19k. All stock, one owner... You just gotta find someone either desperate to sell, or who doesn't care about the car anymore (as was the case with this guy).

^^^yea your 100% right, I talked to the owner he babied it, he just put exhaust and springs..THATS IT...he didnt race it he just drove it to work, I test drove it, man that thing handles like a beast, so fun to drive, Im trading in my 08 STi but hes all like 29,400 in total for the whole thing, im like **** NO, why why would i pay that much for a 06 EVO?? My sti is sick as hell but i wouldnt mind trading it in for a decent price, i dont appreciate being *** raped on a deal so im just gonna lay low im not stressing to get it i like my sti. I know how much they got for it too so their just being ******, the owner is a real cool dude he told me the whole story bout the EVO, no accidents nothing, cept he hit a deer and had to replace the right headlight lol
but anyways....it does look badass eh?

From my experience in H-town there's no such thing as a lightly modded and babied EVO. All were driven hard and lovin it on trips around the beltway and "MEXICO" lol.
