Mitsubishi Evolution IX GSR -06

Allrighty, I thought it would be time to introduce the newest member of this crew. The car has already featured shortly in this blog before, in the white car photoshoot by Juhis but here's a short introduction and some specs.

After owning two Saabs (yeah, go figure) I just got a sudden urge of trying something totally different. After some serious surfing on the web I spotted a white, slightly modded, Evo 9 for sale in western Finland and I decided I just got to have it. I did some research on the car and also found out that it is supposed to be the only white street registered Evo 9 in Finland.

After some initial troubles with getting a deal on the car the papers were finally signed in february 2009 and I was a happy owner of a Evo 9 :)

Here are some specs on the car:

Some future plans for the car (within an undefined period of time) include the following:

That's about it for now. More info and pictures when thins start to happen again.
