I'm Back in Black

So, after 4 months of non-boosted hell, I'm back in an Evo. Most of the Fayetteville crew know I went from an '03 Evo (340 whp) to an '06 s2000 (torque? what's that?? lol). The S was a nice car in many respects: super nice interior, handles great, and looks great; However, I had been out of a Honda for so long that I forgot what it was like to have to wait until 6 grand to make any kind of power at all . I missed my Evo from the time I sold it and I couldn't stand it any longer. I knew this time I had to get into a IX and get a crack at MIVEC . Anyways, I have plans for it of course, but for now here are some "first day, clean car" pics in the IX SE:













BTW, I'm looking forward to the NC/FAIL crew meet coming. See you guys there

Black is so sharp when it's clean... and so hard to keep that way lol

It has 13005 miles and I gave $27k. I felt like it was worth the book value and it hadn't been molested. I'm looking forward to getting a set of wheels on it and getting it up to speed, so to speak haha

Did your S2K have a hard top? I think I remember you posting pics of it if indeed I'm thinking of the right car.
Either way, welcome back.

Yea, it was blue with a hardtop and SSR's


As for the guy getting back into an Evo like me, feels good doesn't it?

Hugo, Just give me a call man. I'll definitely be going to the meet and the more the merrier for the cruise down
