So after following the boards for about a month and getting help from some people answering questions I had. Finally made the transaction on the 06 GG MR I had been looking at. I'm still stationed in Korea until March, but this car is sitting at home waiting for me. Below are pics and info. I got this as a 1 owner with 54k for $17,500. List of mods include an FP Green Turbo. So i will be searching all the information i can until march to figure out what i will be doing. When i get back, first step is to go to English Racing to get the 60K service done and a tune. Thanks again for everybody in the forum community for your help. I hope to make it to a meet in the Washington Area when i get home.

wow good deal for such a good set up, congrats..

 

Congrats on the new car...so was this a veterans day present to yourself? Haha...I would find some stock MR BSSs for it...

 

Great Deal!
Congrats, i payed way more then that :/

 

Sure we can call it that . I knew i wanted an EVO. Funny thing is i have NEVER driven one, only seen them in person and read of their potential on the forums. I wanted to find a car before i got back home so i didn't have to waste time on leave when i get back. In my first month of having her i will be going from Seattle, Wa to Savannah, GA to Hunter Army Airfield my next duty station. So her and I will get some nice quality time together in the first month or so haha.

 

Very nice buy and a real nice color. Paint the rims something funky, or even gloss black, or a bronze/gold and it'll look even better. I like the rims.

congrats on the buy

not feeling the wheels. get them painted!

 

Nice find! Welcome to the club

 

nice buy and great price... welcome to the evo community..how much power did it make?

 

Not sure what the WHP #'s are right now, when i get back though, literally my first stop will be English Racing to get my 60K service and a tune done. So im really interested to see what it will put down. Might have to get bigger injectors and a fuel pump to go with it. Possibly manifold and see if i can push the 350-380whp mark. Im already aware of being careful with the MR's 6speed tranny, so i don't want to do too much.

 

great pick-up for the price!

 

Congrats again on your purchase, Steve! You got one hell of a deal!

 

Seemed like a pretty risky move but it looks like you picked a good one! Hope you enjoy it when you make it back home.
