FS: Built Lancer Evolution- 2.3 Stroker, GT30R- 1,200 miles! (SF Bay Area)
There are several reasons I'd rather have the Integra over the Evo:
1.) I don't have to worry about cops finding stupid reasons to pull me over in the Integra.
2.) The Integra consistently gets 30mpg on 87 octane from any cheap-o gas station (Arco) I can find, while the Evo only gets around 23 mpg on 91 octane, and I ONLY fill gas from 76 in it.
3.) I change the oil in the Integra every 5k miles with any cheap-o oil I can find, whereas I change the oil every 2.5-3k miles (I NEVER let it go past 3k) in the Evo and ONLY fill Mobil 1 and use OEM oil filters.
4.) The Integra is stock height so I can go anywhere I wish without having to take into consideration "hmm, can I go to this restaurant? Their driveway is pretty steep..."
5.) My Integra has a very nice sound system in it, and I couldn't be happier. I considered upgrading the sound system in the Evo, but I always end up turning the radio off when I drive the Evo, because I prefer the sound of the turbo to the sound of music... Whether that's a Pro or Con, I'm still not quite sure =P

BTW: I'm sorry guys, I'm doing my best to put some miles on the new clutch, but I work 4 miles away from my house, so I'm not making much progress. lol.
And the car is going to be at Speed Element/ Detail Addict this weekend getting a nice detail, so stop by if you want to check out the car!

i still really want this car, but im not so sure i want another car payment. Im thinking i may have to post up a FS thread for my car here real soon. Are you in any rush to get rid of this and are you absolutely set on selling for 25k?

I am flexible on the price for serious buyers.
The car was fully detailed yesterday by Detail Addict. At this point, i'm most likely just going to keep the car garaged and not drive it to work anymore. I'll start it up and drive it around the block once or twice a week, but that's probably going to be about it. Will post some new pics after Detail Addict sends them to me!

I don't, but I can take some. Are there any specific areas you want me to take pictures of?
There's really nothing special about it, so I didn't take any at first. Inside looks pretty much stock, aside from the AEM wideband, and Apexi boost gauge on the steering colum. The MBC is somewhat hidden near my right knee, under the dash, the Turbo Timer is hidden inside the little pull-out coin box compartment above the left knee. The ugly blue Evo 8 rear seats have been replaced with the black Evo 9 rear seats, and ugly blue Evo 8 front seats have been replaced by all black Recaro SRD seats, which I like a lot, because they sit much lower than the stock seats, and give the drive a much nicer feel of the car.
I'll take pics of everything I can inside the car tonight, but let me know if there's anything specific you want pics of.
