New guy from STL, MO...

I am by no means new to the 4G63 platform, but I am new to the Evo community. I have owned 8 DSM's and currently own a badass 95 GSX. I picked up my 2006 Evo MR after trading in my 350Z Roadster. Owning DSM's has been expensive and I have learned that you need a daily driver. So I thought what better daily than an evo. So here I am. I'll get pics when I go out and take some.

My evo is stock w/ a muffler welded on . It sounds kind of sh!tty but I am about to buy a Buschur Racing Downpipe. I plan to mate that up to a cat-back, but I am not really sure which one yet (any suggestions are appreciated). Don't want anything to loud, just something that sounds good. Only plans for this car is to do intake, exhaust, hard IC piping, and bov. I am not going for anything crazy, just a fun daily.

My List of Cars I have owned: (Started @ 18 and am now 22)
1998 Eclipse GSX


1995 Talon TSI AWD
1998 Toyota Corolla (LOL)
1997 Eclipse GSX

1999 Eclipse GST


1995 Talon TSI AWD

1997 Eclipse GSX

1997 Eclipse GS-Turbo (420a)


2006 Mazdaspeed 6

2004 350Z Roadster

1995 Eclipse GSX (Track car / Weekend Warrior)



2006 Lancer Evo MR (Daily Driver)






Pics of both...

Welcome. I am about 2 hours south of you.


I would love to see pics of your rides (the evo for sure).

I myself am looking for 300-350 AWHP (basic bolt-ons)

If you want an exhaust I have the Greddy Ti-C 80mm TBE & I love it everything about it suggest that as exhaust myself. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.


I advise getting the Walbro 255 pump also. Even if you are not going for big HP the pump is a good first mod on the evo.

There is a local guy here with a speed 3. A very nice looking car I must say.

Of course I love the evo more, but his is still nice.



There is another evo 8 here in town as well. Have not seen the 9 or 10 in a long time I guess they are gone. Maybe sometime we could all get together midway some place.

Yes sir the MS6 was a complete pile of ****. I found that it had low compression, a bad EGR valve, and frame damage. I ended up pawning it off on some poor old stealership who lost 7K on it . I traded it in on the 350z and I shortly got tired of the 2 seats. So here I am now. Have a 550hp DSM and a DD Evo IX MR.

The STL guys will have to get together some time. I was up at the Lot out in St. Peters a week ago in the DSM and a bunch of Evo guys were backed up to me. Well I suppose I am part of both crews now, but I will never leave my roots.

On a sh!tty note:
After owning the car for 3 days, some @ssholes broke into my car. They busted out my drivers side window, stole my escort passport 9500XI, and tried to rip out my in-dash DVD head unit. A kind neighbor of mine called the police and the little fu(kers were arrested.

I noticed you mentioned a bad EGR valve on your old car. One thing to watch for on the evo is a vac hose poping off the EGR. I believe many ziptie it on.

At least they caught the punks who did it, sorry to hear about the window though.

Not here or in the OT from what I know.

You have to start posting in the general section, show and shine, how to, and areas like that.
