Hey folks, figured it's about time to throw up an intro thread. I've lurked on this site for a few months now but never really got around to introducing myself. I'm a bit more active on evomn.net.

Anyhow, I was a long-time DSM fan growing up, but unfortunately was never in the position to call one my own. After graduating from MSU Mankato a few year ago, I decided to put my degree to use and become an upstanding member of the professional world. Following gainful employment, I decided to begin the search for a car that I always drooled over in high school -- an Evo. After a few years of looking, I finally stumbled upon a local car that fit the bill - a one owner, low miles, bone stock '06 ('07 production) TB IX SE. 51k on the clock & no indications of the car ever seeing more than stock output; an all-around clean ride. I bought it on the spot during October '13.

My plans:

Car's going to get basic bolt-ons. Turbo-back, 255, 1100 hi-z's, EBCS, corn/RS tune (STS!). I set the goal at 350/350 on a Mustang, which I feel to be a realistic number. I'll likely be limited by the stock clutch, which will be addressed at some point in the near future...or whenever it starts slipping. I just want to drive the som'bitch.

Well, there it is. Thanks for looking! I hope to meet some of you folks in the Summer months at the All Mitsu Cookout, PG, etc. I reside in Eagan but work all over the Metro area, so maybe I'll see some of you around. I've already encountered an AS IX at the Eagan SA several times (corner of Yankee Doodle & Pilot Knob) -- not sure if that belongs to someone on here. Sounds mean :)

Holy balls! That is one clean IX.

Re: n00b
 

Welcome! Car looks nice!

Re: n00b
 

That car is purdy! Welcome!

Re: n00b
 

Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen! @tuna - one forum just wasn't enough. Since I'm not driving the SOB, I have to get my fix somehow!

Re: n00b
 

Welcome sir, love the evo! Very clean!

Re: n00b
 

Welcome and that is sweet looking.

Re: n00b
 

Welcome! Nice plans you got there

Re: n00b
 

I know dude, especially this winter when its been above 30* like 3 times all winter.

Also keep an eye out for the Mitsustyle cruise, I went last year for the first time and it was EPIC!

Re: n00b
 

Welcome!

As I said on EvoMN, if I had money when that car was for sale I'd have bought it.

Re: n00b
 

Thanks fellas. I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for the Style cruise dates. I'm eager to meet some like-minded individuals! This seems to be a great community. I'm proud to now be a part of it.

@spaz - I'm glad you found another car that fit the bill. I'm also glad that you were forced to pass on this one :)

Welcome aboard from an MSU alum as well! Ahh, the blurry memories of college.
