Well, this one, I'm not sure if I mentioned has $13k in mods....which means it accelerates from 0-60 in...at least .0001 seconds. Havn't dyno'd or tracked it yet, maybe when I recover a bit o' cash! Handles AMAZING! I can take 25mph turns at 60 or so and not even worry. The ride is really stiff, due to the JIC AR2 suspension, but that just means it handles better. Clutch is ultra forgiving too, don't even have to push it in all the way to shift. And the torque.....oh MAN the torque! I can start from a stop in 3rd!!!

blue book + mods has it at $37k, I got it for $17k...the rich young guy who owned just wanted to get rid of it, and I was in the right place at the right time!

meh, ok. The bass is bloated and the highs kind of shrill...not a lot of mids to speak of either. But, for car audio, and the stock soundsystem, it ain't half bad. I can deal with it until some money starts to burn a hole in my pocket!

And yeah, I'm with Patrick82...how does it sound?


Yup, all 11 hours of it....LONG drive...but it was FUN! Got so many looks, and so many people in 350Z, Jetta, Audi turbo, etc that want to play with me....I schooled 'em all, and I'm not even a good driver yet!

Nice ride! ... now dont rice it out any more... looks good!


Yeah, I pulled off the front black lip, and I like how it looks a lot more now. However, it's missing the bottom of the stock lip, so I need to either drop $250 and get a new one of those, or see what a paint shop can do about painting that black lip silver to match the car.

Haha, I'm not looking to make it sound farty! A nice deep throaty rumble is what she's got....amazing sound. The recirculating blow off valve from the MR sounds great, and the Injen turbo back exhaust gives it a good deep growl. Heh...maybe I'll try to post a sound clip or something...hmm...

Heh, it's a quick car i'll give you that,

but it's not the fastest thing on the road, and you might need to learn that before you hurt yourself something serious. Speed has a funny way of runnin away from you.

Enjoy the car!


Hehe, what's your ride? Maybe we'll go out for a cruise...I've got a buddy with an STi and a sport bike that we have fun with. The logging roads are just out towards Mary's peak....just drive around, and you find 'em.

yeah, I'm trying to drive pretty conservatively until I really know the car...But I can tell you I havn't come accross anything faster yet!

That's a very tastefully done Evo. Congrats!

I'm not normally the one that likes to do visual mods to my cars but I think the hood looks great.

The track ability of those cars is amazing and the motor is bulletproof. You're going to have lots of fun.

Drive safely!

Hehe. I was going to suggest you take it up Mary's Peak.

For Portland International Raceway, BMW has a club day September 29th. I forgot the cost, but they are a bunch of really nice folks and you get to learn a bunch, depending on the person you drive with. Alfa Romeo is September 30th. I haven't been to one of their events yet.

You got a ride in my car on the way back from the restaurant at the Portland Meet in June. Does that jog your memory?

Ah, the roads around Mary's Peak. Those are fun! I bet you can take them twice as fast as I have. Luckily for us, Oregon has other fun roads to offer as well. The grin hasn't warn off yet from my drive back from the northwest coast near Astoria this evening on 47, just south of Clatskanie - 11 or so miles of mountain bliss without a car to seen. Awesome. Just awesome. It's worth the trip up and then some. A cruise sounds like fun.

Ah, now I remember! and if I remember right, you're quite the spirited driver as well! A cruise would be good fun. I've got work and whatnot, but sometime we can go have some fun!

Just wait. You've had the car for, what, all of 3 days now?

Your time will come.

I'm sure it's exciting because it's probably a heck of a lot faster than whatever you were driving prior to the EVO.

We're not trying to bring you down or anything, but the first rule of having a fast car is that there's always someone faster.
