At the end of July, my son got a brand new, 2011 Evo GSR. We traded in our beloved G35 in for it. After only a month of ownership, he has added a Magnaflow 3" exhaust, AMS boost pill and a TephraMod tune done by Ron Soliman of RSMotors in Minnesota. The car made an amazing 80 hp more with just these mods and the tune.
Right after that, I was approached by a fellow 8th Gen member about selling my Si to him. After a lot of discussion and soul searching, I decided to sell my even more beloved Si. It actually brought me to tears when I sold it because I loved that car so much.
So, with the money from the sale of my Si, I decided to buy an Evo for myself. I searched far and wide throughout the United States to find a decently priced Octane Blue Evo X. I found one in Texas. Had the car shipped up to my homestate of Minnesota and now our family has two Evos.
When the car arrived, it was absolutely filthy from the road trip. My son and I spent 10 hours detailing it, washing 2x, claybarring with aggressive claybar, polished with Meguiar's 205 on my Flex DA, one coat of Menzerna Power Lock sealant and 2 coats of DP Max carnauba wax. The car turned out really well. Hope you chaps enjoy the pics!
