EVO 9 MR here we go

Well guys today i traded my electric blue 05 evo 8 for a Graphite Grey EVO 9 MR...all because of my girlfriend lol
like my other car i love the new one...cant wait to break it in and take it to the track and see how strong it s from the factory.
The main difference i can feel right now is the smoother suspension and the fact that i have to shift more often due to the closer gear ratio....beside those two things the car feel about the same. My Evo 8 had a TBE, MBC, and reflash so obviously it was faster but in time and with money the MR will be too lol
I ll try to have pics soon.

cheers

Why would he have done that only to get the same amount? With a trade-in, even though the amount was very low, at least it reduced his taxable amount by 22k.
