Hey everyone. As some of you may know, I recently traded in the 8 for an Evo X. Here are a few pics. I already have full bolt ons ordered, and on the way!

Nice ride! It even has a similarity with the 8.....the side vents. Good luck with it!

Great choice in color. White is definitally the best color the Evo X comes in. The front looks more agressive than the IX, but I don't like the side profile as much, it just looks too plain and boxy to me. I looked at a white one at the dealership the other day, it's a pretty big car. I plan on driving one just to see what it is like. Give a write up on how it is compaired to the 8. Power, throttle response, handeling, brakeing...etc..

congrats man. Good choice.

But I have to remind you that you also gave up too soon on the turbo rx8. I am using your greddy kit and my rx8 makes more power than your new ride :) Ah well, you now have a warranty :)

Congrats on the new car Moostafa. It's definitely nicer than the past generation Evo.

Keep us updated on how you like the car. I'd would like to know. We're all car enthusiasts here....well most of us.

Cheers.

I saw this in person, really clean. First Evo X I've seen in person, perfect choice in color.

Friend of mine just got the exact same car... they're very cool. He's already got a boost controller and down pipe. Runs good.

One tiny gripe... I cannot believe how cheap that shift knob looks and feels. I'd have to trash that thing immediately. It's the same one from the regular Lancer.

sweet, its no 8 but it is still a very nice ride and handles very well.

Looks good. I think it would look even better if the black part of the front grill was painted white. How much are the Evo X's these days?

Moo, you let me down. WHITE?! yuck.
Take some pics of the interior. Does it look as cheap as the old interior or did they finally get that straightened out?

Should be a fun drive.

Nice car.. I usually like the STi better, but with the new body styles, i'd go with the Evo. Never been a wagon/hatchback fan

Nice, congrats on the purchase.

ALot of guys are getting great HP gains from just a tune, seems to run rich just like the last model. Keep us updated with the mods you get as well.

Nice ride... +1 on the white... i've checked the evo out when my 8's in for maintenance service (dealer is a Mazda/Mitsu/Suzuki) ... i think they've improved the interior a lot... and the whole car looks a lot more agressive. Enjoy it!






...maybe you can use strakes from the 8 on it! :naughty: j/k... :lol2:

Give me a few days Jason. I have a couple goodies on the way to fix that problem

Its the 5 speed. The MR with the SST tranny isn't out yet. I do miss the 6th gear though.

heh. I wouldn't have considered a warranty a problem, but ...

Going over 340 whp?

It comes with the SSS package. I am actually getting used to it.

Not sure yet. I bought some bolt ons that should put me in the 320whp range. I may get a tune in the next few months that would put me over 350whp, and hopefully get my freeway mileage in the 30mpg range. With bolt ons, the AFR is still between 9-10.

with the ugly looking 08 model you might be pissing yourself off while people laugh. hahaha im jk. everyones got their own taste.

i went to the dealer to test drive and get a trade in quote for the exact same thing moostafa. they were going to give it to me for 35k - 25k for the rx8. test drove it for shits and giggles...... but it wasn't even funny how well this car performs stock.
