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 {thumbdwn} . 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 :mitsu: . Anyways, I have plans for it of course, but for now here are some "first day, clean car" pics in the IX SE:

Welcome Back :mitsu:

How many miles and what did you pay if you don't mind me asking...

InitialE Jul 30, 2008 05:26 PM

Cant go wrong with black nice ride.

orugacoja Jul 30, 2008 05:37 PM

black is the best

dbotkin5 Jul 30, 2008 06:27 PM

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

where on the same boat, just got back in the game also

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.

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