EvoM Newbie from FL (now GA)

Hey everyone!

My name is Mario. I finally was able to buy this beauty!

06 Apex Silver Evo IX GSR with SSL Package

I have been searching for a clean Evo IX for quite some time and I was finally able to get one. The Evo has always been one of my dream cars for quite some time but they've always been out of my reach (in terms of budget).

It currently has over 118k on the odometer but I bought from the second owner who had owned it since early 2008 with 19k. Current mods are:
1000cc fuel injectors
ETS FMIC Kit
HKS Air Intake Kit
Aftermarket Downpipe
HKS Exhaust
HKS Manual Boost Controller
Defi Boost Gauge & Apexi Turbo Timer
Swift Lowering Springs

asides from that STOCK.
Nothing to serious lol.

I just relocated to Atlanta, GA from FL so I'm not to familiar with the scene here but I'm pretty sure there are some enthusiast hiding in the mist. I really would like to see if I can find a reputable tuning shop.

Looking forward to enjoying the forum and getting into the Evo game!

I leave everyone with a couple more pictures (including some of my other bae that's in FL)

Welcome! With regards to a tuning shop, check out DBW Motorsports in Cumming (north of ATL). Doug, the head guy there, is an awesome tuner and has a huge amount of experience with Evos.

Welcome and congratulations! Car looks super clean, and well taken care of! Any plans? Best of luck from another Evo IX (MR) owner!

So far the only plans, as of now, are to get an AEM wideband installed and possibly getting the Evo dyno-tuned as I was looking of possible getting a different oil catch can with a breather filter since the Greddy one I'm running now doesn't have one.

But trust me I have WAY more planned for the future .

I just recently got basic maintenance done (timing belt, pulleys, & serpentine belts) and now I need to get my TB cleaned since the pedal is feeling a bit sticky when I crank her up.
