Hey everyone,

My name is Loc .... Before i was planning to buy a WRX and post up on I-Club and ask about it ... but i though hard about it ... really hard :x ... and I really like Mitsubishi .... I am currently an owner of Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart ... first introduce to the U.S .... here are some pic's below ... i did some mod to it but nothing drastic ... I love the 4G69 engine in it with the MIVEC system ... also the first car in Mitsubishi ever to carry it in the U.S ... but i will go for it and Buy an Evo as soon as possible ... I just can't leave the Mitsubishi Family ... I fall in love with the 4g engine ... hope to heard from everyone ... peace ...

I will buy a black one ... I like to stay stealthy ... Similiar set up like my Ralliart ... but probably with Gold light weight Racing Rims either from Volk's or 5Zigen ... with me i would like to learn the basic handling of my Evo first ... how to work on corner with my Stock suspension ... how to work the AWD on corner ... etc ... If i were to go out and Mod it like crazy i will never have a chance to learn the basic and it more than likely i won't go on corner and only striaght .... I am touge kind of guy ...

sometime this year ... i don't know yet ... because my parent are buying a House and they need a cool down period ... I need a cosigner so I will get some credit also ... I hope i don't get it too late because the Evo 9 is coming out and the Mark up for the Evo 9 will be rediculous ... So i cam crossing my finger before Semptember ... November will be the latest ... Does anyone know when they will cease the Evo 8 and let the Evo 9 to come out ?

I would like to but as always dealer are marking up the Price like nothing ... I would like to be smart with my money ... I pressume that it doesn cost much to make a car ... alone the Evo would take no more than $15g to build it or maybe less .... and they sell it for mad amount of price for a huge profit ... so an Evo 9 go around for 29g brand new would be a fair price but then again which dealer would do that ?

thanks for the welcome guys ... realy appreciate the northern hospitality ... The Evo is by far the best price for its buck's ... I also love the STI but my friends already has one ... good to heard from a couple of people on the boards ... my purchase will be ok ... my pop and i always double team on the saleman throught nogotiation ... We had good experiences with my Lancer Ralliart when it first came out last year in January ... ..... Peace

I'd get new rims and sell the stockers. Powdercoating could be more trouble than its worth.
