Future EVO X Owner

Hi Guys.

I'm looking for a new DD. At the moment i have a 2013 GTR and a 08 IS-F. I am looking at getting rid of the IS-F because i am going somewhere where the weather is unlike California and will be experiencing snow for parts of the year. I know the GTR is a animal in the snow but that is something i am not interested in doing at this point. So i will be getting rid of the IS-F and jumping into a EVO X hopefully by June.

I've never had a manual car and always wanted one so this EVO will be my first. Im really hoping to find a average mile EVO X with bolt ons. Looking to spend under 30. I've been looking around the forum for awhile now trying to figure stuff out. Anything i should read up and learn about these EVO's?

Picture of them together




Thanks
- Jake

Nice rides man. Make sure you know the previous records and whats been done to the EVO before you buy it! Or better yet, get a brand new EVO. If you are new to manual, you should learn how to drive the car stock before you start modding it. Get to know the car first!

Evo and GT-R....Very nice.

Also really like your current combo of cars. How does the IS-F drive?

The ISF is one of the best driving cars I've ever driven. It's powerful and really doesn't feel like a 4 door sedan. The rides great and pretty comfortable inside. Pretty typical lexus but with 400hp

Its the best DD aha. but not something i want to keep using. and sense i will be moving to a area with snow i know it would do great but I'm more worried about other drivers. Also the lexus is getting old and RWD. So form reading around and from GTR owners suggestions the Evo X looks like a lot of fun.
