Hey doods. Just joined the club Wednesday with my silver 04. Let me just say this is THE most fun I've had on 4 wheels.

She has 40k miles, Nvidia, and a cone filter, windows tinted. I plan to get a good alarm system and that's probably it for awhile. It's pretty perfect as it sits.





Here's what I'm coming from. Also a blast but different than the S.



Good to be here, seems like a cool forum with good info.

Plan to take some shots with the big camera this weekend. It rained here pretty much since I drove it off the lot

 

How does the S compare to the Evo in your opinion?

 

Most obviously, big power difference, but I think the S well makes up for it in other areas.

My evo was the MR, so it had the paddle shifters. Which was cool for awhile but I missed the ol' one-two step heeltoe action. Call me outdated if you want but I missed rowing the gears myself.

The S has more go-cart style handling, feels a bit more crisp and rigid compared to the Evo. Better feeling the road. But again, I had the MR which was a little cushier than the GSR.

AWD was a blast in the winter and amazing through the turns. You just couldn't break it loose. BUT, RWD is just so much more fun.

I miss the sound of the Evo's turbo spool already, but the VTEC sound and pull is nearly as satisfying.

Lower insurance, lower payment, more used parts available.

And oh ya, I found the secret compartment and the fuel door release (even though I was trying to push it). And if the previous owner(s) see this, I have some sunglasses you left in the compartment. Apparently they had forgotten where it was.

 

Congrats on the nice find....hopefully you'll get some dry weather soon an be able to drop the top.
