Moostafa29's New Ride

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.

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 **** looks and feels. I'd have to trash that thing immediately. It's the same one from the regular Lancer.

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
