Getting in the EVO game Help.

I hope this is the correct section to post this....
I just move to Miami and I need a fun DD with *****.. I left my Supra back home and I have bad HP withdrawal.

I am between the Evo IX and the Evo X at the moment....

I will be doing the following upgrade to the car I get:

I will like to keep the engine stock and turbo for the most part only cams, head arp bolts and if need it rod arp bolts.

I will be using E85 as fuel and upgrading the injectors and fuel pump.. ( I have a E85 station 2 mile away from my house )

Stock ECU reflash, Big FMIC, intake and Turbo back exhaust system and clutch..


To now the question:

Which car to get for the money and performace for the upgrades I have pland for the car?

Thanks in advance for you help.

I'm a bit biased....but I love the CT9A platform....hands down.


Go with someone who has WORKED on an Evo to go inspect it for you before you buy it. Good luck, and enjoy traction.

You're going to have a really fun daily driver with those mods regardless if you end up with an IX or an X. You really just need to drive both and figure out which one you like more. The IX is definitely going to be a bit more hardcore (even though it's still "soft" compared to older Evos) but the X has nice creature comforts and a nicer interior.
