    I hate to admit. I've been thinking about doing it for a while. The car is beautiful. Just not enough horse power behind it.

    soo.. I sold my GTStoday... =(


















    And bought an 08 Evolution! Hell Yes!

    I took the car into the dealership today. here's a quick shot of it before i took it over.

    [​IMG]



    The dealer wanted to give me 17k for my car. I laughed at them and told them I'll be back because I was going to go sell it private party for 20k.

    I started to walk out and they pulled me back into offer me 19k for it. Close enough.

    The car was a white GTs, Fully loaded. had 11k miles on it. 1 year old. No dings/dents/scratches at all.

    The car is on sale at the dealership for $20,500.

    Just as an Update

    I took my car in on Monday. They called me the same day and said my car was done.

    The SES light came on because (as lancered noted) an ECU flash was needed. Once I re-obtained the car. I noticed a HUGE difference in performance.

    They also installed the front license plate mount for me. Gave her a full car wash and filled her back up with gas. all for Zero $. No complaints at all.

    I Installed a Cone filter intake yesterday. With that mod alone, I was able to hear the turbo spool and BOV. Best $50 (K&N) I ever spent.
