Blazing GT- That sucks

FiftyFive- DAMN, you got rid of a mitsu for an acura and I did the opposite. lol You should get an x when you get more money.

jjaber- I don't like the open hole on the left side when people get a single exhaust on a dual exhaust car. Plus I wanna try and sustain a little class with my evo. Single outlet kinda idk it's just not for me. lol

Single outlet exhaust on a single outlet bumper/valence or bumper with no cutouts =

Single outlet exhaust on a dual outlet bumper/valence =



I think he meant single outlet on an Evo IX or VIII.... they have bumpers designed for the single outlet. Or maybe he didn't know that the Evo X's have dual outlet bumpers, cause I didn't either until I saw one on the road the other day.

Keep us updated with the car once in a while...

Nice car, I saw some really sweet ones at HIN. Too bad they don't have a standard 6 speed though.

Blazing GT- That pic is misleading, I kept the exhaust and intake and gave them the wheels. I got over 20k. for it.

Hugh9269-Went from 180 to 240 per month.


BraveDemon- Thanks, you should do it but make sure your doing it for performance because it's not as great quality as the acura. And I would suggest getting the stock navi it's much better then navless dash. I mopped up the parkway with my friends 6speed g37 last night, the x pulls away from it at 80mph and the better handling takes care of everything else lol. (I dipped in between a car and he just fell back)

2000TaffetaTL-Yea I wouldn't have minded getting one, they're much faster but the interior and exterior of the x's are better. ix's look dated to me now.

1killercls-I'm definately going white on gold or white on black. With cf hood and trunk something like the one with black hood trunk and wheels but not with the silly huge wing though.

Black wheels are nasty....maybe on luxury cars, but even then its hit or miss. Get gold! Then single outlet exhaust and have a shop custom fill the 2nd hole for you (wow that didn't sound right)

being a devout EVO IX fanatic, and being surrounded by them (four of my friends have/had them), driving them, and ALMOST purchasing a WW IX myself with the SSL, i can't stand the looks of the X. it looks horribly bloated, interior looks generic (sans the seats and navi...those are pure sex) and the IX can still hand the X it's ass on several performance levels. and reviews on the MR with the TC-SST have been less than favorable. sure, track times are improved, but it's not fast enough to escape how ugly it is. nothing is right on that car as far as design.

sorry.

i'm sure it's fun. congrats on a new car though!

I like everything about the car except for the front end. that would keep me from buying hte car all together. it looks like a huge mouth or something. All the new cars are using that stupid front end design....they can't just keep it simple with a grille

02CL-TypeS-Turbo cars need an open grille design for their intercoolers. I'm IN LOVE with the front grille design.

sol_da_man- Your comment reminds me of a rap lyric that Prodigy of mobb deep once said... "I love it when a nigga that don't rap be hating". lol let an evo OWNER school you real quick. Ok first off I love all evo's and have since I was 16 years old I remember going to mitsu and acura with my mom and drooling over the integra type r and the evo 8 and I eventually ended up with a 4 door LS teg. But fast foward to 2008 I'm grown now and got the acuras out of my system so since I had to choose it was obvious for me, x all day. In fact, the 9 looks dated to me now (especially the interior) you have to drive the 9's fast cause if you don't you'll get bored with all the cabin noise and bumpiness and cheap materials. lol and I want you to understand that the purpose of the x was not in any way to be faster then it's older brothers (even though it's the same speed as a stock 8). The 4g63, is a master piece so why try to make something that out performs it????? That's why they didn't, they just went a different direction In fact, lead developer Ryugo Nakao stated on numerous occasions that the new generation of high performance vehicles need to be able to deliver more than just absolute speed. They must be fast yet more safe, more comfortable, and better for the environment. They have achieved that with the amazing seats and navi that you love and a much better overall interior setup with not as much cabin noise (the 8's & 9's sound like rattle boxes inside). The forged aluminum block is better for the environment and lighter and is still as strong as the 8's & 9's iron block with it's reinforced iron sleeves. Evidence has been shown, by how well the 4b11 takes to mods, non believers such as yourself, well... ones that actually own evo's have seen that the 4b11 takes to mods better then the 4g63 and have actually traded up (Keep in mind it's only been out for a few months there's not alot of mods for it yet but we've still seen 420 hp x's!!!! That's amazing for an 2008 in 2008) As far as a 9 out performing a 10, yes it's faster. But not by much, I race in the street alot (yes I'm an idiot) and I've successfully taken down 6spd g37 coupe, the 335 xi, mazdaspeed 3, mustangs, nissan z and witnessed an srt-4 crash into the back of a truck trying to keep up with me and been neck and neck with the new v8 m3. It has been quoted that the evo x is one of the best handling cars on the planet, and being that I have driven 8's and 9's bmw m3's, 335 xi's, 528 xi's, g37's, 6spd TL's, E class benz's, and mini coopers, I can attest that it is. And as for it looking bloated? I think your insane what's bloated about this?








I aint even get started hooking up the exterior yet, wait till I start hooking it up don't forget what I did with the TL,
<a href="http://s20.photobucket.com/albums/b217/JohnsonBarry/?action=view&current=DSC00092-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b217/JohnsonBarry/DSC00092-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
You can bet your ass that my x is going to look sick as hell!

You admit to street racing and causing an accident while doing so. Wish I could be as cool as you are.

jjaber06-I got more pics of her. She was cool

zerogay- how do you figure that I caused the accident, when you read this. "and I witnessed an srt-4 crash into the back of a truck trying to keep up with me "? Your a dick! He should have had better breaks and left me alone.

aznbenz- you're a douche and the reason i'd never even consider an EVO is that someone might, even for a second, mistake me for some boy racer like you trying to pretend he's paul walker on the highway. I see your type weaving in and out of traffic on a daily basis trying to prove what a big man you are and it's only a matter of time until you kill someone that isn't a waste of flesh like yourself. until you grow up and quit the street racing, fuck you and your stupid car.

btw your tl looks like shit, try not to ruin the evo too.

It always cracks me up when people think they're being creative on his forum by calling me zerogay. I mean literally that means there's nothing gay about me Thanks?

Anyway assuming there are no further comments directed towards me by the OP, I'll bow out of the asian vin diesel's thread so he can get back to bragging.

Pics are all on this site.

FiftyFive- Nice, if I were you I'd buy an integra type r next. And keep that puppy forever. I'll be looking for one of those when the x is paid off.

JS + TL- Hilarious!

Do you guys like the set up of the evo 8 with the chameleon deep dish wheels, a few posts back? I think their really starting to grow on me.
