They sold mine for about 23 as far as I have heard... You'd be surprised what people are willing to pay when they can trade in their old mustang or civic for an Evo and get 100% financing at a good rate instead of having the bank laugh and have to have cash. Its why its so hard to sell them privately, you can't take trade-ins and you certainly can't provide financing, especially not to the teenagers who want the cars.
Remember too that most of the ones around or lower than 20k either have mechanical problems or hidden cosmetic damage. Its the problem that's bringing the value of our cars (well, my ex car) down, people are liars and scam artists, "Oh no, the clutch is great... Oh no, you can't drive it to see.... But my car is only 17k! and has less than 40k miles on it!"
But with 72k miles on it, that is way too high of a price... Especially with clutch problems.

So here is my dyno sheet from my tune by ams.
He did have it alot higher but there was a spot in the af that needed flattend out
If I want more power chris told me to put some 100oct in and bump boost to 1.7bars
Here it is 91oct at 1.5-1.6bars

Ya I am thinking of going from this...
to this
I'm not sure just talking, but I want to repaint it and am thinking might as well just get a V kit and make it the V all around. I already did the brake and wheel upgrades and am going to be doing the suspension and some motor work over the winter. So that is why I want to repaint it and if I am going to repaint the car why not just do the V kit so I can fit bigger wheels and tires? It will make it about 1.5" to 2" wider so I can get some 9" to 9.5" wide wheels. The stock Evo IX wheels I have already rub pretty good and mest up the lips of two of my fenders. So I need to roll all the fenders any how or just go wider and also get the wider wheels that I have been wanting for awhile now. Or I could just sell the car and get a newer Evo that is already wider and newer than mine. I don't know yet. Let me know what you guys think. I have found all the parts for the Factory Evo V kit and some aftermaket ones too that are the same and wider than factory. I have all winter to decide and do it.

my "evo V"
I finished the Evo V model last night at 1am. It took me about 15-20 hours or so to build it. Now I'm thinking of building a model for each of the 10 Evo's (I'm sure it will be hard to find them all, and there's probably no X out yet...). Anyway...enjoy:

I wanted to paint it "graphite grey", but couldn't find any of that color at Walmart. I guess I'll have to spend the big bucks at a hobby shop to find other colors.

I don't know what to do.
I am going to try and repaint the car this winter if I get another shop to paint my car in. And I really want some Crazy wide wheels like 10' or wider. I was going to do that on my Wide body M3 project that I gave up on when I bought the Evo. So maybe I should finish the wide body on the Evo.
I don't know just talking guys
I need to see if I can find a crazy kit for my car and go really wide or just get one and make it wider.

Going to try to go down to Vegas this week end to hot import nights if I can put my car back together in time. If not I will just catch a ride with a friend.
But I wanted to know if anyone else is going down or going to be there? We are going to be going in a group Friday afternoon if anyone wants to tag along.
