Newbie evo

Just picked up an EVO 9 yesterday.. I have been Driving 91 Civic (U could see it in the back ground)for about 2 years and saving up for this MONSTER. WoW driving this machine home scared the living crap out of me... Only booting 28.5 had to turn it down to about 27.5.
Only thing I have left to do is change rotors and change spark plugs..
My Civic ran 17.4 on the 1/4 this should get me in to low 11's
Enjoy the PICS

Cos Mivec cams
double-pumper (Gentlemen who had the car use to run E85 520/480 Tuned by Mellon)
ETS intercooler pipes

Sup mellon congrats on purchase might want to change all fluids and check compression etc make sure car is in top forum. Congrats on buying a already modded car with built motor saved yourself tons of money and downtime from doing it yourself. how much did it cost? now you need to go ride in a 2.3 or 2.4 evo then you will want that lol. congrats on saving money for a fully built evo which is nice

Thanks for the compliment guys
I would have to get some rotors and plugs first.. Not running 39 psi anymore so last owner recommended me to change it. He also just gave me the plugs that should go in the car. This guy went above and beyond to explain how turbo car works and how maintenace works.
Looks like I have to get ready to spend More Money,,
