New Evo owner from MN. I go by Maxwell, and I just picked up my first Evo 8. She is a 2003 GSR, and has roughly 96000 miles. I have just started to enjoy driving in the winter . In time I will have a bit to add to it, and give it a safe tune.

Welcome! I also plan to buy a 2006 evo 9 mr...
How much you buy your evo for?

 

Thanks! A MR is a beautiful thing. I picked my Evo up for just under 14G's, drove 3 hours (one way) to pick it up too.

 

Now attend proving grounds.

 

Yup, going to run the 1/4 as many times as possible.

 

Do the roadcourse and auto-x, that's what the car was made for.

 

Welcome to the site... I've been attending Proving Grounds the last two years... I finally picked up my Evo IX GSR this year after seeing just how AWESOME these cars perform at the event!

Welcome to the site! Enjoy yourself!

 

Thanks, I will if I get the chance to. That's where it belongs no doubt. Yeah I see them getting good times everywhere, and this year will be fun.

 

Hey guys just bought my 2014 GSR yesterday. Came from subaru home (WRX) loved it but I always wanted an X. Wondering if any has or knows where I can get good pricing for weathertech mats as one of my first additions.

 

you got any pictures?

 

Didn't like the IX?

 

Since Evomn is down I came back here and I guess Ill post up some recent pictures. Since I first had it, we've come a long way.. I made several upgrades at once when I did my clutch replacement, and before I had my second tune at MAPerformance. Along with a bunch of regular things to replace and maintenance. Last made 378/405 on e85 at 30psi with a fuel issue. Now fixed, coming back for retune soon. ^^400

I recently sent a spare valve cover in to get powder coated at "Powder Keg Coatings" here in Minnesota. Awesome work, for a great price. I will be having them do my wheels & Calipers soon as well. Also waiting on my new cf hood to arrive as the one I have is in the middle of being painted.

Another thing done recently was paint. I went with a GM Bronze/Khaki tan color. 2 stage paint job with a fairly high gloss. I did alot of the body prep myself and drove it to the shop to make the dent repairs, get rid of the little rust on the rear fenders, and give it new paint ..Because The previous owner rattle canned the top half black... Here are some pictures of her now with the wing off. (it is going back on of course)
