well selling the evo = plenty of money to mod the lexus plus cash in hand plus a 40% reduction in monthly bills.

Besides it's time for a more adult car, the evo is wonderful but pretty damn boy racer and i can't justify the upkeep.

i can see it from the money perspective.

as far as boy racer i wouldnt say that. a civic is a boy racer. i think you are trying to say you want fast comfort

evo is a mans car and will not live long in the hands of any racing "boys" lol

Dude!... i've seen your car at the town center a couple times. I was wondering if you were on here.

Good to see another Jax member in the house! I've got a Red SC4 as well.

That's my boy Jesse's old car. Clean car, lot's of nice stuff. Does the shifter feel kinda strange to you?

B.T.W. Did you guys get the cooling problem fixed on the S14?

nah, just had a pinhole leak in the koyo, got it working fine, i think he'll be more than happy with it.

And yeah the shifter is definitely different, not sure if i'll keep it or not but he gave me the stocker just in case, we'll see.

coming from an evo/240 it feels like a luxury car.

they feel great, took a couple corners in it and the body roll is minimal (compared to the evo)

not too shabby.

It's a world of a difference coming from the S14 huh. From something agile to driving a tank lol....I just came from owning a S14 too lol
