I started noticing alot of rust around my car this past summer. The strut towers in the engine bay, underside of the hatch, under the back bumper cover ect. A few months back, I needed to change a plate light and when I put pressure on the screw to break it loose, the whole thing just broke off.
The rust, along with, needing a paint job, a new front bumper from getting beat up while I was lowered, need new rims cause the chrome peeled on the inside and won't seal, and just a bunch of other little shit made me start thinking about the future of this car.
When my wife was thinking of trading hers in, we were set on getting a truck but then she changed her mind because she wanted a car. AWD and 4 door vehicles were mentioned and of course we talked about an EVO. She decided against that also because she can't drive stick. I told her she could have my car and she said fuck it, I'l keep my Integra.
Fast forward 2 weeks and my crank pulley goes. I told her, maybe I should just get rid of this thing. She says I suppose you want an Evo right?
So, tomorrow, everything comes out and Friday, I go to the dealer. They still have an 05 MR as a leftover and 4 others of various trim.

Keep us posted on what you get. I've actually been kicking around the idea of trading the VIII in for a IX - those things are making truly sick power with next to no mods. I miss my 2g, but I haven't regretted selling it for one second.

'97 CBR 600 - Purple is a real man's color

honestly, the 2g's are rust buckets. my 98 has rust under the hood and in the hatch area. im sure there is a buttload more that i just cant see. my 2g hasnt seen a winter since about 2002, at least.

My 2g is spotless when it comes to rust, so is the 1g, but I do live in NC where salt and snow only happens like once every ten years. Met a guy in the parking lot outside of my girlfriend's place and he bought a 2g talon awd from michigan and that thing was rusted to shit!

Let's see...

My 97 RS had (has) rust where the turbo side skirts go on both sides, as well as where the license plate bolts up like Tony's.

My 95 GSX had very bad rust on both strut towers, along with some on the undercarriage on the drivers side.

My 95 Talon has a rusted out sunroof that leaks and rust on the bottom of the hatch (basically where you put your hand to open it).

Oh and for your viewing pleasure, the pics of the rust on my GSX:









P.s. The rust has been repaired on it (replaced with new metal-not cheap!)
