New DSM guy with an Evo X
I recently purchased a Rally Red 2008 EVO X GSR with the SSL package. Im loving the car so far. Ill post some pics when I get the chance. My current list of cars are: 06 Pontiac GTO, 06 Subaru WRX, a 96 Eagle Talon TSi AWD (Holset HX35 and all supporting mods)(For sale), a 03 Dodge Dakota R/T, and my 59 VW bug that Im restoring. The Evo will replace the Talon as my daily driver/fun weekend/track car. Im hoping to start doing more auto-x and road course with the Evo. The talon's best time was 12.7@108 in Fontana on pump gas and 20 psi on a 50trim. I hate to sell the Talon, but 6 cars is riduculous. haha. Im looking forward to learning more about he 4B11 and the Evo, though I dont have many plans for it because I dont want it to get to the level the talon is at. I just want something fun and quick to drive that sees occasional track/auto x use. No drag strips for this car though. My name is Mike. I think that about covers it!

Right now the Evo has an AEM intake, a QTP cut out, and a tune from RRE. Its currently at 339 AWHP.. That should be plenty on this car for road course work. I dont want it to be like the talon. Just quick, fun to drive through the canyons, and a good daily driver. Ill post some pics when I get a chance

nice, that will make for a very fun car. I was pretty disappointed when I first drove my local friend Brad's new X, but after the basic mods I said "now THIS is an EVO"

Here are a couple of my Evo that were posted on here before I bought it. It looks the same though.

I agree! now hopefully I can get this notchy, long throw transmission figured out! haha. I hope a short shifter and some shifter bushings will help.
