The time has come...the galant's replacement

[BoostedAWD91]

Well i figured id give an update since i haven't been on the board much over the past months. Its been quite a journey driving dsm's and galant's for the past 15 years, but the time has come to upgrade to something alittle bit newer to play with. So as much as i hate to do it, the galant is gonna be put up for sale sometime this summer /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif, just not ready to get rid of it just quite yet. Especially now thats its all built up and close to hitting the 500HP range with the right tune.

So I went out and bought my first evo. Its a 2006 Evo IX MR 6 speed. It has a good solid foundation to start with by being pretty much completly stock except for a few minor things. Just has a full 3" AMS Exhaust, AMS FMIC and AMS LICP and still riding the stock clutch. Its in excellent condition and drives like a dream! I just hit 59,000 miles so its gonna be getting a upgraded clutch and timing belt job in the next few weeks so i know everything is perfect. Anyway here are some pictures, ill have to get some interior pictures as well of the lovely Evo 9 seats /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nice Evo. Silver the best color.

There are times I miss my Gvr4, But then I look in the drive way and see the evo.

 

[BoostedAWD91]

Thanks guys!! Ive wanted one forever and its a great feeling to finally have one! Yeah, i know im gonna miss my galant, but having a Evo will surely fill that void quite well! The funny thing is after driving the Evo, i miss the galant cause its SO much faster than the Evo right now. Will have to get to work on that

I hear insurance on those is the highest of any non exotic car out there. What's a typical monthly full coverage insurance payment on an evo 8/9 ?

 

[BoostedAWD91]

I only pay $60 a month for full coverage

LOL 400/yr on more than 500k policy on GVR4 in Eugene. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif Congrats
who repairs it? I am in OR and go to Gatewayautocenter.net in your neighborhood with my high maintenance needs.

Nice car. I will own one day as well.

 

[JNR]

Congrats!

I wouldn't think insurance would be outrageous if you're over 25, own a home and multiple car discount + no tickets of course...If you're a teen then I'm sure they'd fukk you in the ass on rates! (When I was 16, they charged me $3k a year for liability on a 71 buick skylark, wtf!)

Looks nice, I've always liked the MR 6-speed.

I've owned 2 Evos, then bought my Galant VR4. I think I'm doing it backwards.

 

[JNR]

I wish the EVO X MR came in real manual, as I really like them (other than the price) and would consider one as a future vehicle when they come down a little, if it weren't for that. That is, after I sold #20 and it being a replacement, but there are sooo many other cars I'd like to try out.

 

[matt92vr4]

Love those cars. 500 HP Evo9 Mr is the shiznit.

Wow they charged you 3k in 1971 thats crazy!!!! Thats probably 1/2 of the cars msrp.

Get an Evo X! It's worth it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
