Morning. Been a long time since I have posted in here.

Thought I would post a few pics up of my new car. 55 plate Evo IX GT (JDM Import) with 32k on the clock.

Its not standard.

Bilsteins with tein springs

RC1000cc injectors
Uprated turbo inlet pipe
Blitz i colour spec R boost controller
Exedy Comp R twin plate clutch
Wiseco pistons
Manley I beam rods
Race bearings
Uprated HKS 1.2mm head gasket
RC exhaust straight through stainless
Ported head
Decatted
carbon ducts

Currently running 2.0bar boost, last dyno print out was 540bhp at the crank (around 450 at the wheels).

Initial plans are to get it cleaned up properly, all paint corrected as I dont think its ever been properly done. Then change the wheels and fit braided brake lines and uprated pads and discs.

Thanks for looking :)
 
That is gorgeous. The IX has all the best body features of the VIII and the X. great colour choice as well about the only car I like in white.
 
It is pretty quick, the short ratio box helps a lot with that. the TT S205 is more a top end power turbo though, which means I can cruise along quite comfortably when I need to. Managed to average 24mpg on a full tank the day I got it, which I thought was reasonable.

The exhaust is too loud though, literally 3" straight through, the house vibrates when its running!! Im looking at replacing it with something a little tamer.
 
Stunning, have always loved Evos. I'm going to see one today at 1pm, an Evo 8 FQ320 MR running 385BHP. See my thread.

I have limited my search to just the MR models so far, maybe I should consider the GT/non-MR versions!

I went for the GT due to not having to worry about the AYC dying as it has the RS rear diff, also the 5 speed short ratio box was a factor.

Looks awesome, really have a thing for the Evo 8-9

What happened to the S2k?

I realised, its annoying wedging myself into a racing seat and 4 point harness every day, just so I can fit my lanky ass into the car :D

Amazing car by the way, loved every minute of ownership.
