Sup everybody, I'm Nathan, this is my first EVO, before this I had Honda's up till about 4 years ago, then moved to Miata's and started drifting. I've owned 2 MINI Cooper S as well, both supercharged 6 speeds. I've always wanted an EVO since they came out in 2008 but alas, I just could never really afford one. Well as life would have it, after serving 5 years in the Marine Corps, I got out and started going to school for computers, since it's what I did in the service. Once I obtained my associate's I started looking for work as well as continuing my bachlors. Found a great job that I love and get paid well. So win, win. Finally I had a job making enough that I could finally get the car of my dreams. So as of yesterday, I am purchased a 2011 EVO X Wicked white, with what turned out to be quite a few mods. Just from a visual inspection, I have an ETS intercooler, Borla exhaust, one piece UICP, and a solid LICP, with a GrimSpeed 3 port boost solenoid as well as boost and A/F gauge in the cabin. Oh yeah, Rally Armor mud flaps as well. I can tell the previous owner took real good care of the car and had money as I purchased it from a Porcshe dealership. I'm familiar with A/F ratios to know what to look for, idle is 14.7-9 and WOT is 11.1-4 which is pretty good. I did notice knock occuring at high RPMs so until the 1st when I'm going to get it tuned/check the tune. I'm not pushing it much, due to I'm not sure what else the previous owner may have put on the car and I don't want to risk messing anything up. Although with the A/F where they need to be I'm not too concerned as it holds boost well and as long as I don't go past like 6k I don't get knock. I will post more pictures probably tomorrow, as I haven't really had a chance to take many. Anyways, I'm in Phoenix, so if anybody's out here, I'd like to meet some of you guys and see what you think and how I can improve the car. It's my daily, as I have a 97 Miata that I drift occasionally. Thanks for your time if you read this whole thing. ahhaa

 

Congrats on your purchase, she looks clean.

 

Thanks, I saw in your sig, your running FortuneAuto coils, how do you like them? I've been thinking about getting them, I haven't heard many people opinions on them.
