Welcome to the Boards,

Not to rain on your parade, but I am VERY leary of "an Evo at a Good Price". Especially one with mods. Could of been a "great" buy, or your worse nightmare, so have it looked at for sure. IMO.

Evo's are great cars, so are the Si's just different tax brackets is all. Hondas can be very fast cars, but the Evo to me just has more to offer in the long haul.

Congrats on the purchase, and good luck. Just don't want to hear about you in the newspaper so slow your A_S down on the city streets!!

Nice ride! I'm glad you made the switch. Honduh owners usual have a bad rep of being thieves.

very nice car and congrats, my only gripe with the car is the HKS SSQV on it. ive heard so many horror stories about it, and venting with the stock maf in general. if you want to vent slap a gm blowthrough maf on, or just throw the stock IX bov back on. other than that very clean and congrats!!

SSQV...I took the evo for a track day and every time i was on third, during a curve, and taking my foot of the gas without reaching red line, I felt that I was down shifting.
Hey, is this because of the SSQV? People at the race track were talking about a bypass!!

Other than that, awesome feeling of having the evo. Went from 180 to 350 to the wheels. It handles awesome at the track, What a change!! Still keeping the Si as daily commuter!!
