Just picked up a 2006 WW IX MR w 22,000 miles that I will be starting a brand new build on:


//after new clearbra


//jdm rear, exhaust, taillights




//ohlins


//spoolinup


//40mpg highway daily driver



Car is being built as a street/ASP car - though not a competitive ASP. I don't think I'll even ever get r-comps with this car. I guess it's just too valuable to me to modify it to the level of what any evo could go - but I will definitely have fun in the car regardless. I crossed 22,000 miles total on the car on the way back. Needless to say it is extremely clean. It's stock motor and has most of the usual bolt ons, plus a few other little goodies. Mods below!
Special thanks to Danner for making it happen!



Current Mileage: 25,015

Very nice

 

Glad to see you finally created a journal. Can't wait to start working on this beast!

Make sure to add some pictures of your old black one, too. You'll appreciate having all of that documented down the road.

 

*Wipes Tear*

Take care of her Sam!

 

Ah I still remember when I received my WW IX not too long ago.

 

Awesome! 22k miles!

 

Beautiful.

 

Thanks all! Excited to begin, a lot I want to get done. There are still low mileage evo 9's out there!

 

Nice pickup! I want the front and rear bumper! Lol

 

lol the USDM one? I guess it'll be for sale... Shipping's a nightmare though I've shipped one before.

 

USDM front bumper and JDM rear bumper

 

Curious why you got rid of your old IX for this one

 

Wanted white, wanted MR, wanted less mileage, wanted to start over for different class prep (ASP) everyone told me it was a total waste of money but I don't feel like I wasted any lol

 

Almost thought that comment was for me

 

VERY nice whip my friend... I don't blame you for going WW, I spent 2.5 years looking for WW, low miles and as close to stock as I could find...

I look forward to seeing you build it up...

Congrats sir, please post up your future mod list...
