Quick short answer: Hell n0!

LOL

Pretty rare. Hardly see Evo's anywhere in Philly. They're out there in small numbers. Scattered. Really gotta pay attention and look for them. That's how rare Evo's are in the 215.

Have some buddies with Evo's. They're all mechanics.

Spotted Sunday: Cosmic Blue X. At FDR park. Looking stock as hell except for exhaust.

Lol, that's one of the reasons I got an evo, u never see them. I just got mine (2015 PB Evo X). I was looking to link with other locals, if I see anyone I'll say what's up.

This is so true. The regular meets in philly are kind of beat and get ruined by other cars (which will remain unmentioned but it begins with an "h" and ends with "ondas"). I would be down to meet in philly with other owners. I am now back from vacation. I also purchased a stock evo turbo so I can send it to forged performance for the fo red!

Antlaud,

I can imagine. From riding around I've seen some people meet up the northeast/south philly, but never been. It'd be cool to set something up for the members of this forum local to philly/surrounding area that want to meet up.

Contacts on the purchase, you're wasting no time huh? Lol

That would be awesome. PM your info, even if a few of us show up it will be much better!

Well I decided to be patient with my build, so I purchased the parts then plan to put everything on. Right now I have AEM fail safe wideband gauge, Cobb ap v3, Amos intake, ets recirculating, ets test pipe, and agp inter cooler. I still need to buy inter cooler piping and an exhaust (I am contemplating on the ets quiet, ets regular v2, or ets extreme).

What I will do is put on the intake and exhaust components and get it tuned. The. I'll send the turbo out and buy the inter cooler piping, the injectors, and full pump. Sometime after that I will get the ams clutch master cylinder.

I was getting tired of building cars without a plan and consistently spending money on tunes after each part. This way, I only will have to tune it twice.

Wheel...don't even get me started. I am so indecisive lol

Is yours stock?

Will do. That's awesome you have a plan. I've looked at some stuff, but no real end goal in mind or anything like that.

Yes, mine is completely stock. I got it this weekend, and plan on keeping it stock for a while.

Haven't heard or seen regular philly meets in years. Then again, I ain't exactly "in the scene" anyway.

I'm down for a local Philly meet!

FP RED? Nice!

There are regular meets on Thursdays at the Lowes on Arimingo. I stay away from there. Also, they do have meets often at a car wash in Franklin mills, but the meet I like is more like a gathering Sunsay afternoons on the Delaware river. I have attended any this year, but plan to soon.

I debated so long over what to do. I really wanted to fp red, but it takes like 6+weeks. Now that I found an extra turbo, I can wait that time period!

No worries...I can do anytime next week...what does everyone's schedule look like? Any particular place or places that would be in the middle? I know Plymouth Meeting has that huge parking lot with the Target in it...if you guys are feeling adventurous we could always meet in KOP and hit up Rock Bottom, tons of parking there too
