Just checking in with the old evom Loft family.

What are you driving nowadays? How's life in general?

I'm still in an FL5, pretty happy with it.

 

Do you own a civic because you need the space? If so, would you exchange it for something else if you didn't need the practicality it offers?

 

Did you have any impacts from Helene, Noize? We are still recovering from Milton here in Central FL coast, going on 72hrs without power. Still rockin that Evo X, just received some Zeal coilovers for it too!

 

I'm still here. I took the Evo out for a spin today.

 

Like how old you talkin'? Guess I've been here 15 years now and will always have my Evo. I mean, going on the idea I don't crash. Again.

 

I value handling and braking first. I do like the practicality a lot, but if it was not this sharp, I probably wouldn’t have it. I think it’s the reason the Golf R never stuck with me.

I’m getting older, have a long torso, so I don’t fit great in some coupes.

I liked the C7 I briefly had, but it was woefully impractical, and even at 50 I felt like I was 20 years younger than most owners. That’s sad, because they are such great driving cars.

 

Nashville just got soggy. Not too much- nothing remotely like poor Asheville.

I’m so glad you still have your Evo X, and I hope you get power back really soon! I’m sorry it’s been so tough for Florida.

 

I finally got the transmission in my civic rebuilt, its a pos-ish 06 Si coupe... ugliest body style in the ugliest color... but I'm a massive K20 fanboi, love how the engine feels and drives and sounds and rev's out... and the 8th gen is a massive improvement over the minivan front suspension the RSX had. I got ITR gearing and a plate type LSD, had the car all ready to do a track day to see if I can get to sub 2's on 215 Falken 615's at the local track. And the day before I slipped at work and folded my left knee sideways. So I've mostly been sitting at home feeling sorry for myself, haha

 

I'm still here although haven't been as active as you folks. I've had my Evo X since 2011. Car has been out of commission since July as I'm waiting for my engine to get rebuilt and it's been a pretty painful process.

 

my old *** is here too. still waiting to get my evo back from TRE for rebuild t-case and swapping some diffs around.

i really, i really want the new automatic gr corolla but 50k is a lot to drop on a gd corolla. could get a veloster n dct for half the price, 90% of the funs but I love awd tech and toyota and hatches so... idk

 

i still have my last purchased Evo. I think this one, i will never sell it. Still in mint condition, making 420+ hp , not a glitch in this car.

 

Rob, I thought you lived in the US. It's an FQ400?

 

yes i did for 20+ years. Now i am currently in Hungary. Nope its not a FQ400. But i had to pick a license number , so because makes 420+hp, i picked the 400- Nothing else really rhymes with 2 letters and 3 numbers , therefore MR-FQ 400 LOL (Mister F'"king Quick 400)
