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.

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:
