Greetings from South Africa

Hi all!

Been lurking on the site for quite a while, eventually got hold of an Evo 9 GSR last year. Been loving it ever since!

Its a 2007 model Tarmac Black 9, got a few basic bolt on mods.

Greddy O2 Housing, Trust Downpipe, Megan catback Exhaust
AMS Engine Mountings, Injen Intercooler Piping, Injen Intake
Greddy Profec B Boost Controller, CC Stage 4 Clutch, EcuTek Software.

(I had done the 1/4mile last year to prove to my friend an essentially stock evo could get into the 12's .. ran a 12.7 with granny shifting and a terrible launch. )

I picked the car up with 39 000kms on the odo, and now currently have 55000kms on it. Most trouble free motoring Ive had in years especially since my MY02 WRX STi.

Some recent pictures of the car after a solid clean and a polish.

Thanks for reading! I am enjoying the wealth of knowledge here on the forum

Car looks good! Exhaust hangs out a bit far for my taste but looks good none the less!

Thanks Ive tried adjusting it a bit higher, but need to cut the exhaust hangers a bit shorter to raise it

Thank you Sadly pretty rare here in South Africa, makes finding one a pretty difficult task.
