My Evo VIII!! (Updated 10/29)
 
First of all, :D :D :D, I'm a really happy man, though I'm gonna hate the break-in period. Anyways, I snapped some quick pics yesterday after i picked up the car.

LOL thanks a lot for posting the needed right away :D at first I was wondering "WTF, where is the manual?" :D But i's 9 am, Sunday... :D

v0od0o 07-25-2004 03:15 AM

sikx5 07-25-2004 03:17 AM

lol, I think the manual cover blends in a little too well with the carbon fiber. And Jabba's idea of key on roof/trunk is just too risky for a new paint job. :lol:

Hahaha, do you know me? :o Because I WAS supposed to get a black one but they couldn't find one. BTW, I had a WRX STi before this. It was stolen and stripped to the max. :cry:

Thanks man. I'm definitely will be modding it, sooner or later. I mean, how can you not!? This car is made waiting to be modded. :lol:

v0od0o 07-25-2004 03:49 AM

lol @ RAMAN, I just happen to like black and think an evo would look great in black (obviously so do u :wink: ), specially with those clear lens tail lights...
Anyway, I wouldn't mod my Evo (If I got one in the first place) what more would u need ?

While we're at it I thought of something, how about us adding a new thread for member cars' acceleration figures? No manufacturer's bs just the numbers the members could get from the car along with the conditions (temperature, etc)

aks 07-25-2004 03:53 AM

too bad about thes STi man, but forget it, ur riding in something WAY better now. congrats!

don't forget to post more pics (and vids) when u mod it!

gis 07-25-2004 05:52 AM

congrats on the new car :D

i think it looks good in white,only a few cars can pull off bein white,this bein one of them.some vids i would be interested in :D

GTO 07-25-2004 07:40 AM

Awesome Evo, love white and the black carbon fiber wing. Faster than STI now, hey take some interior shots too! They got recaro seats as standard right?

Make sure you take some real glamour shots thought before it gets too dirty :wink:

sameerrao 07-25-2004 10:47 AM

Hope you are getting some aftermarket security as well as door protection- NJ/NY areas are notorious for hot AWD cars being stolen and sent to South America

evoWalo 07-25-2004 11:01 AM

Congrats on the purchase. I hope you dont mind me asking but why did you get a standard VIII when the MR's a few weeks away?

schnell318 07-25-2004 12:27 PM

Nica car and excellent colour choice!

oscargarza88 07-25-2004 12:36 PM

wow u r really a rally fan i guess... first the sti andd now the evo...
and what made u buy the evo now over the sti, did u not like the sti?
i likes the sti alot more than the evo b5 but i guess it has grown on me... now i think i rather have the evo....
oh and CONGRATS :D

budagboy2 07-25-2004 12:41 PM

sweet ride looks nice, are you planning on modding it in any way?

um.. yea he did say that, he said he was just waiting for the break in period to finish.
:wink:

5vz-fe 07-25-2004 01:23 PM

Isn't the Evo MR coming to the states soon? Plus it's the end of the year.
So I am assuming u got urself an awesome deal :) With the money u save, time for:

Boost controller
up/down pipe
Turbo XS UTEC
ARC Induction Box
Apexi GT Spec Titanium

Of course, that's after ur break-in, but just to get ur mindset ready for mods keke

I didn't get an MR cause they're mostly marked up to $40,000+ and that's way over budget. :(

So far I have a tracking system. Then the clubs and locks will be on their way. :)

LOL I acutally like F1 BITS more than WRC. And I actually like the Supra a lot more than the "raly twins" as far as Japanese cars. I loved the STi to death bt I wanted the Evo cause I wanted to know how each of them performs. :lol:

oscargarza88 07-25-2004 02:27 PM

^
hahas so u had to buy one to actually know how it performed... haha :roll: ...

SilviaEvo 07-25-2004 08:12 PM

this is an awesome nice to see someone still going for the Pacific Muscle after having one previously stolen

nthfinity 07-25-2004 10:53 PM

congrats on owning a car that does such amazing things every single day!

Garretts_turbo 07-26-2004 01:16 AM

sweet evo, raman.
you got me jealous now!! :x :x

You're right. I do. I had the opportunity to drive an evo, not just reading articles or watching Best Motoring. This is a first-hand experience, why wouldn't I buy one, or should I say replacing one, to actually know how it performs?




New pics coming up soon.

Hey I like to know a Porsche handles but I'd test drive it not buy it for curiosity's sake! lol

But I can't see an Evo 8 being a disppoint in any respect, so no risk buying it like that lol.

Yeah get some nice pics, like my car, your dying to drive it rather than take a pic lol

saadie 07-26-2004 06:48 AM

mindgam3 07-26-2004 07:08 AM

The thing is, I would never have an Evo now if the STi is still around. :wink: :(

Fast_car006 07-26-2004 03:26 PM

Nice EVO man. Where in NY are you? You might have seen my brother's EVO8 around.

What color is it? I've seen a white one many many months ago and a yellow one on 64th & 2nd. Those were the only 2 I've seen.

Having an Evo is nothing close to bad, but the reason WHY I have one is. Tell me, since when is getting your car stolen, then being stripped to a pile of shit a good thing? :roll: http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/...i/Dsc00995.jpg

The EVO is white with a DYNOFLASH.COM sticker on the front driver's side quarter panel.

IgotWRXed 07-26-2004 06:23 PM

NNOOOOOOOOOOO MY EEYYYYYESSSSS!!!!

RAMAN 07-26-2004 06:26 PM

Is your M3 a convertible Fast_car006? I saw one in the same phoenix yellow metallic color last night around Battery Park then FDR north. I didn't check out how the driver looks though. :?

EDIT - I didn't notice your post right below this. Forget what I asked. :oops:

RAMAN 07-26-2004 07:01 PM

As promised, I took some new "glamour pics". The first series were taken right across Ground Zero. And a few in-car snapshots in Time Square. My photography skills sucked. Enjoy.

Great new glamour pics RAMAN!!!

Evo is such a weapon :twisted:

Ziploc 07-27-2004 02:30 PM

evo without AYC and ACD?

blah 07-27-2004 02:35 PM

It must suck to drive stick in new york. it blows to drive on the 405 out here with traffic.

ARMAN 07-28-2004 06:56 PM

Nice NY pix, never saw time sqare from the EVO :mrgreen: (never saw TS at all actually 8) )

Yeah but it still handles like nothing I've ever driven (which is not much). I guess not having AYC and ACD means it's less prone to electrical defects/problems ala Mercedes. 8)

You know, it actually doesn't blow, not much. :lol: I prefer driving a manual rather than auto, NYC, LA freeway or not. Auto is just plain boring and lowers my awareness. I've gotten into 3 small "Accidents" in my old ass automatic Toyota Rav4 when I first started driving. Then none in the Subaru and none in the Evo, so far. (crosses fingers)

My folks all drive manuals so I guess it's a family thing, it runs in the blood. :twisted:

I don't like driving near TS, the traffic sucks ass. I avoid TS like I avoid ugly, fat chicks. :lol:

You forgot to mention the giant metal plates they put in the street during constuction. Those will rip the bottom of your car out. Also you should stay away from chick that smell.
