So long Evo IX....

Well to all my evo comrades, it's been fun, and i hate to let it go. For those who know me, know that i've been deployed for the last 5 1/2 months. And it seems while i was gone the wife i thought i had, died and became some one else, so in order to keep my daughter and my house the evo has to go...... for now. To be honest, i have loved my RS more than any other car i have owned, and i hate even talking about selling it , and anyone who knows me, knows that it's a little Frankenstein . I will still have the Subby, and hopefully start my intended project VI at the begining of this year. To those I didn't get to meet, its to bad, but maybe we will meet around the bend. I plan to keep tuning and staying very active in the comunity. Maybe if all goes well, the project VI wont take me that long, and i'll be that guy with a carseat in the car every meet! haha.
One last thing, Aaron i haven't forgoten about you bud, your car is still my mule car, and I just want to give Powder a big shout out, thanks bud, just know that i appreciate you man, and all the help, peace.

So in order for you to keep your daughter and your house you have to sell your car, but you're going spend money on a VI project?

Good luck with everything bro and hope that everything plays out.

Thanks guys, and to tvbf1, yeah i will spend a little cash, but not as much as you think, i made 388 whp on my XI and i only spent maybe $1800 bucks, because i fab'ed most of my stuff. Plus $500 a month when i had the wifes income was like a fingernail scratch, without that its like a knife cute. But i plan to pick up a mirage because my subby doesn't exactly have a back seat, it was striped and getting prepped for it's new heart, haha. but yeah i hope everything pans out as well, i mean i got 1 1/2 months out on this **** whole left, so we'll see.

Appreciate it guys, and trust me if the daughter wasn't so damn beautiful and just like me then I would have gotten rid of the family instead! Lol. No, but really I am actually starting to look forward to being home and only worrying about my daughter and myself. And, hey I just want to put out there that I am still gonna be tuning, maybe even more than before, so to all the guys in the area, only reason I say that is because I got pm'd by a former customer, and he thought I wasn't gonna be anymore, and he is wanting a tune. I am hoping to be a little more involved with JB, and Lucas once I get back, cause in my opinion, those to guys other than myself are the only ones I would intrust an Evo with, that’s just my opinion of course. Only a little longer and I will be home, oh and no I haven't sold my Evo yet, I have my buddy Powder trying to get it sold for me, but if you have some one interested, let me know, again thanks guys for the kind words.

Yeah it does suck guys, but believe me he is still going to be involved with evo's as much as possible, he has made this very clear while we have been deployed. He just needs to get some **** straight first...

alright, bamboo you got my PM right? and to radical, if you PM me your email i will send you some pics. The car has 12k miles on it, running tuboXS TBE but with single resinator put in by me, instead of the 2 it comes with, also i hollowed out the stock mufler with 3 inch straight pipe, so it looks stock. I have HPF LIC, Nisie prototype Full race intercooler( wich never got put out for sell), forge MBC, Snow Meth kit, my own custome tune. Blitz turbo timer, and Blitz speed/rev g-meter, Espiler active GT-s. really not that many mods but, the car is crazy fast when i put my tune on. Before i left i detuned it for the wife to drive every once in a while, which she hasn't but. i'm asking 30k for it and i am offering for who ever buys it free tuning to it until i leave whidbey( which isn't for another year), so send me a PM and we can talk. I really hate to get rid of it, and believe me when i say that out of all the evos i have tuned, ones with more mods, i haven't tuned a faster one yet, the car is a beast and i honestly can't say why. But on another note, i def. plan to be even more active in the community, i have been working on a couple of things since i have been gone as far as maps go and with a little testing the outcomes could be quite interesting. Thanks guys for your support, and aaron where the f@#$ is powder? i have't seen him post in forever.
