It was with a heavy heart that I traded in the TSX.








I'm sure some of you remember my TSX. I traded in the TSX for the Evo X after a very short run.

SoCal's been kind of dreary lately and today was actually sunny so I took my new car out for some pics.

Dropping by and saying what's up to all the members on here when I had the TSX.

 

i have to say, it was a great decision for you to trade it in since they are killing the evo ((

RIP evo. mitsubishi is ****ed now...

 

cant tell from the lighting of the pic, but did you get a black evo or a gray? looks gray, if so. good choice keep us updated with your mods man feel like you gonna do something great with it

 

mitsubishis. get em now while they are still hot!

you are buying a classic now :p

great car, i hope they keep it alive for a long time

 

I was hoping they would make an XI so I could go to the next gen after I'm done with the X.

It's called Phantom Black Pearl, only comes on the Evos. It's a gold pearl black. Looks gray under the sun.

LOL I read it's supposed to continue until 2013.

 

^^ Yes sir, them discontinuing it is so fail...

but awesome ride nonetheless, Enkei RPF1's I believe?

 

i cant tell because of the lighting, but if the wheels are white, consider getting them painted

if you powdercoat them white they would look siiiiiiiiick

not a fan of offset plates though

 

DAMN I love the evo. But they're seriously killing it?!?!?!
Did not know.

And that paint sounds sick....

 

haha i actually like the off set plate

any plans for the evo dude?

 

^+1

 

 

to hell with you ed

 

 

 

Yea, RPF1s, I have them on my other car as well to match.

The Evo loses performance when the front plate covers the intercooler. Everything on the Evo has a functional purpose.

It's actually bright silver and I'm going to fully polish or go matte black. I like white as well but it would have to be a pearl white if I do go white.

It's a measurable difference on the dyno when the front plate covers the intercooler. Function and form.

Cobb AP for now, no other plans. I want this thing to last.

Thanks fellas.

 

Another pic.

 

I seriously looked into a white evo x when I was looking. Wife wanted something a little more "family" since we were having a newborn. Man, I do love that sporty look of the evo. Good color choice too.

 

i never looked at the evo when i was buying my tsx, but damn that shit looks hot!

 

You must like the RPF1 lol...proly Enkei's best rim IMO.

You went from TSX to EVO, different brands but still part of the same "car looks like a shark" family

 

That's the same reason why I got the TSX. The Evo is fine for a family, I'm married with a kid as well.

I should have before I bought the TSX. lol

This shark is a bit meaner. RPF1s ftw!

 

Nice looking ride!!!

 

Sick ride

 

Whoaaa, that was an awesome decision pickin the Exo X.. It looks sick as!

 

Nice. Keep us posted.

 

new pic looks sick!

 

First thing I noticed in this picture was the ballar status LS on 22's.

Nice X.

Pretty sure Mitsu said that they weren't definitely killing the Evo and that the market's fluctuation over the next few years will dictate their decision. I honestly cannot see them killing the Evo.

Enjoy in good health!

 

Thanks.

Just broke 1k miles, installed coils and wheels. Have a few parts coming in.

Thanks ed.



Thanks, yeah I saw that LS460 and snapped a pic of it. Looked clean. Needs a drop and definitely BBKs.

 

That LS460: VIP or die trying....I like the offset plates...if it was right in the middle it would look either bucktoothed and/or block much needed air into that engine lol

 

Awesome choice with the RPF1s!

 

 

sorry to see the tsx go
but im loving the Evo nice color

 

Good decision. I will do same move in next 2 years

 

Nice lookin EVO ...... don't make too many mods to it ..

 

I got over it the minute I was handed the Evo X keys. I do miss the TSX's interior, way nicer than the Evo.



This is my daily driver, I won't be modding it up very much.

 

thats what everyone said at first...then mod bug bits HARD

 

Mods aka rear wheel drive conversion ala Team Orange Evo's in Japan so you can go dorifto!!!!, Wait you have a 350z nvm haha

Nice pictures, I just realized shouldn't this have vortex generators ?

 

haha thats for they did for tokyo drift, disconnected the front two wheels to drift

 

The Evo handles like no other car I've driven. I had thought my old S2000's handling was great, compared to the Evo, it's no where near it. It's by far better than my Z.

Evo IX's had vortex generators up top, Evo X's have them integrated into the rear bumper. Except for the FQ400 Evo X which has them up top and rear bottom. I have a GSR.

Someone asked about that on the Evo forums and got flamed hard to no end.

Nah, I keep my cars pretty mildly modified. Cali officers, as I'm sure you know, don't like ricers. lol

 

haha popos in cali dont like anything LOl

 

Throwing in another pic.
