Im about to buy a Evo 9 MR Ive already found one that I want. Im planning to make this my weekend car.
I just want your thoughts about the Evo 9 MR

I own a Honda Insight (60 mpg is awesome 15 bucks to fill this baby up) and a 98 240sx (My project car I got a brand new KA with forged internals)

If you do get one please put it to good use. If you don't have no fun with it there is no use for it. They'd seem like a great car, as opposed to the people that like a impreza; I always loved the Evolution.


Is that rear valance stock?.......

Almost all of my Evo buddies complain that their Evos have notchy tranny shifts, crappy syncros, crappy stock clutch. Another thing since you want the MR, their 6spd tranny are weaker compare to the 5spd.

MsKrnDoll: Thats one sexy Evo

charrex: The new evos black

soju: Sorry I cant find any smaller ones. Are you military?

rms13515: I will put it to good use. Im saving up to get some nice internals from Tomei

WeSLy: Im sorry but Im going to assume your bias just like all Imprezza owners. Im not saying its bad because Evo owners are just the same. Thanks for the advice thou. Why is the 6spd weaker compared to the 5spd?

just to make things clear, Alvin is the owner AND the photographer of the Evo, i posted pics of. he just recently got into photography and used his evo as one of his first "subjects" that's why his signature is also in the pics and additionally, i have never met an evo owner named Wes sorry.

additionally, Alvin owned a 350Z previous of buying the evo so he was always part of the Northwest Z/G family. Even when we have pre-meets now and then, he still shows up in his evo. He is also a close friend of mine so i personally know him and ive been there every step of the way with his moddings.

i wanted to make sure i gave the credits to who they were supposed to be given to in my first post because i did not take the pics.

Whats so different about the 6spd and the 5spd besides the obvious? Is the 6spd really weaker or is that just a myth?

What would you get the MR, SE or the GSR/GS?
