Bought first Evo today (Intro)

Hello all. Been on this forum learning for a while and finally bought my first Evo today. Evo was in Pennsylvania and I drove it back to Michigan. Octane Blue 2008 Evo X GSR w/SSS and Aero. Previous owners took meticulous care of it and did some fantastic mods. The car blew me away both in appearance and performance. Here's some photos of her.

Yes this is the Evo from Cranberry PA. I don't have dyno or track numbers on it yet. If anybody in Michigan would like to share an hour on a local dyno please contact me because I'd like to see what my starting power is.

I think I got a fair deal on this car. The body, wheels, tires, and stereo system cost a small fortune. I don't know how much HP this all adds up to but here's a list of the major mods and features:
  • New Exedy Clutch & flywheel professionally installed a couple thousand miles ago
  • Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs on all 4 corners
  • Vehicle control sensors recalibrated for lower stance
  • Greddy Boost Control
  • Greddy BOV
  • Agency Power Silicone radiator hoses
  • AEM Intercooler (no logo), custom bungs, & piping
  • Invidia Titanium 3" dual racing exhaust with test pipe installed (silencers included but not installed)
  • Professionally tuned for 25psi of boost on 93 Octane gas

  • Factory SSS and Aero. Spoiler removed.
  • FAST Key option
  • Advan RZ Grey Gunmetal 18x9 rims with Project Kics Caliber titanium blue lug nuts
  • 255/35ZR18 BFGoodrich gForce T/A KDW (only 1000+/- miles on them)
  • Hardwired for Escort Passport 7500/6800/8500 Radar/Laser detector through dash to windshield (no wires exposed)
  • 10mm wider Seibon Carbon Fiber front fenders
  • Seibon carbon fiber hood
  • All rear windows dark tint, front windows light tint, windshield top banner tint
  • Tail lights, third brake light, bumper reflectors all tinted
  • Rockford Fosgate head unit
  • Upgraded all speaker components (using Dynamat Xtreme wedge pack for doors)
  • Alpine iPod interface with full color screen
  • Alpine backend (with remote bass knob)
  • Hands-free bluetooth AND wired phone interface (microphone above rearview mirror, plays audio through vehicle speakers)
