Moostafa29's EVO X

Haven't posted pics of the ride since I first got her so I cleaned her up and took a few. Enjoy!

















Unfortunately one of the rims cracked a few days ago (no idea how), so the stock wheels will be going on tomorrow.

Having owned one of the first 50 Evo VIII's ever imported to the US, I have an absolute love for the Evo. I will one day own one again!

Really nice X. I love the white and applaud your effort with the single sided exhaust. Many people don't like the dual exhaust, but I thought it was cool. Anyways, nice ride. The only thing I really don't like is the black wheels. A polished lip would have looked cool, but I'm really not feeling the completely darkened out look.

I saw one of these on the road for the first time up here in the great white north, looked great in person. My first viewing moved me to watch Jeremy Clarksons review of the car, he made it sound like a blast. Congrats on the ride.

How easy is it to gain power from? I think the EU gets a 360hp version, is it simple to get up to those power numbers?

very JDM'ish
have only seen one on the road, most likely due to the economy+unecessarly expensive sport compact, same case with the new STI have yet to see one on the road, seen plenty of them in parking lots....

Ugh I still can't get the 10s to grow on me. They are beasts though.

For what its worth, I was this close | | to buying an EVO VIII before I got the 8.

Yeah, they are really crazy. Stock, they are ok, but a few bolt ons and a tune and its a beast. The tune alone was a night and day difference (dotted line on dyno compared to solid line). I wish I had a chance to get it dyno'd when it was stock.

I didn't get a chance to actually. I actually was going for the STI, but the day before I was gonna pick it up, I read about an incredible deal for the EVO, so I ended up gettting it the next day.
