Update: After the TSX



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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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
