well I've been looking into getting an evo and though I'm sure most owners here will tell me what I already know, I wanted to come on and learn anything else I could about them before I went out and made my purchious.
I own a 2005 mazda 3 for the moment which I am looking to trade in. Actually I would have traded it last weekend, but it's been bussy getting upgraded a few touches. Ive had just about every different type of aftermarket part on her at one point or another (currently running a header, 2.5 inch exhaust, 440cc injectors, and the gready emanage piggyback. My gt25 is off for the moment because my 3inch downpipe needs to be redone.) Anyways I love my mazda, it's the biggest suprise of a car I think you can buy, and while mine is capeable of holding it's own, even vs an evo, I'm tired of shit breaking, and having to replace it. (already gone through a motor and a set of drive axels, clutch plate, a few maf sensors, ect ect ect...) I'd also kinda like to stop having to hide from the cops because the car is so dam far from street legal.
I thought about getting a mazdaspeed 6, because I have plenty of hookups in the world of mazda, and I could still hang out with my old crowd. but to be honest, I want a real change of pace, and need something that out of the box will be better than the 3 with the turbo (I'm not willing to start from scrach again, to much work involved) And my roommate owns a silver 2006 MR IX (is that how they are refered to? or is it IX MR?) and pretty much I've fallen for the car. It's beefy, it's raw, and it'll go uphill in the snow. And it's still more comfurtable than my current car, and quiter, and has a warrenty, and the cops can't make you undo all the work done to it.
Anyways I'm probably going to just be trolling around for a while till I actually get the car, maybe see what kinds of diy freebie (or close) mods their are, and how much better that 6speed is to a 5. And to try to find the best place to buy one (I hate the local mitsu salesmen, they are all asshats) That's actually the biggest question I have right off the bat, where to look and buy? I would like to get a grey MR IX, but I could really go for anything 05+, the only option I am dead set on is HID, but I can do that myself if it comes to that, and I really want grey and some sort of upgraded shifter, either the aluminum one or the 6 speed, and really I could go for just about any greyscale color, or blue. (sorry if that is confusing) so I'm definatly open to just about any option combination, just need to know where the best place to buy is. Well that and wait for my 3's turbo to get fixed so I can sell that car.
Anyways I live in temecula, go to palomar, that's about it, that work and cars are my life pretty much. mostly my life is calc 2. yes it does suck. can't wait for snowboarding season. Hey that's a good question too, how do you get a snowboard in an evo?
