Fucking love it Man! im glad you drive it in winter too, everytime i see an evo or sti ripping on the snow i give them the 2 thumbs up
i myself im getting tired of storing my "summer car" ive been doing it for about 10 years now... next car will be AWD and no more winter storage.
Question: Did you flush your blake fluid and replaced it with a high temp. one? if so wich one are you running? or still running the same one?

[gtolio]

Love it and love those RPF1s that color.

Never driven an Evo, but I love ripping my STI in the snow. So much fun.

I replaced it with stock fluid at that point but this summer I drained it and replaced it with Motul RBF650. This year the Evo is getting the storage treatment, we bought a Honda Pilot for the winter :-D

Awesome shots and car! And congrats on selling the EP, although I know its probably a little bittersweet.

yeah it sucks knowing someone else has something I put so much hard work and effort in, but on the other hand I have a nice solid start for a d/p on a house.

nope not at all, I thought about it... but if something happens and it needs a repaint I am going to just have her matte blacked

I thought really hard about an NSX and Lotus Elise but unless you plan on getting an older 2000's style NSX you better expect to put thousands of dollars in maintenance into it. If you buy an early style NSX it will run you more than the Evo. I worked at the Acura dealer for a while and a guy bought a 93 that had been garage kept its whole life with only 40k on the odometer. First rain storm the interior was soaked because the seals had dry rotted and under visual inspection would have ever suspected anything. He had the seals replaced and it was somewhere over $2000, that is when I decided that I love the NSX but its still way to Rich for my blood.

Yeah man the 275's are nasty, the rear fenders had to be rolled for them to fit :-X

[lemonhead228]

Damn nice EVO X. I love the pic when she's sideways in the snow and its flying everywhere. Looks badass. I always liked the design of the new evos. It's sharp and the front end looks like its mad doggin you lol

[Kerby]
