New owner of Evo IX SE

Hey guys,
Just bought a 06 Evo IX SE from a buddy a month or so ago. Never saw myself owning an evo but it just somehow happened. I'll need to address the brakes and clutch soon but other than that it's been a great car.

I'll probably be keeping it mostly stock. I may consider a few bolt ons and a tune at some point

Just for kicks, my car list:
Current
-06 Evo IX
-93 RX-7
-95 Turbo Miata

Past
-09 RX-8
-06 WRX
-90 RX-7 Turbo2
-89 RX-7

Considering you have a turbo miata and (my favorite) rx7 I think the evo would make a great DD and with bolt ons would be really fun. Pics or didn't happen!

Welcome to the forums. Is the car stock at the moment? And how many miles does it have?

Nice addition to your collection. You will be able to get a lot of extra performance from bolt ons.

Not a bad find... a bone stock IX SE would fetch a premium. Hopefully you got a good deal. Like the poster above said, bolt-ons and a tune would yield some pretty solid numbers. Even just a tune alone on an otherwise bone stock Evo would probably get you 25 whp, give or take.
