lol it took me forever to pick a car last year. It was between is300, 2000 SI, RSX, mini cooper S. Liked the lexus, but in my price range, they all had high miles. 2000 SI, didn't feel as snappy as my RA. RSX felt slow, and RSX-S were all high miles in my range. and being 6'4 and 260lbs, the mini was not meant for biggy lol.

 

i honestly did not think this thread would've gone on this long lol. figured someone would've linked him to the "I'm considering" thread.

 

haha yeah i've been looking at a 02 lexus is 300 tooo bro.. and as for LSD thanks for your input.. that's exactly what i've been trying to hear from people. i'm on medium budget i would say no rent + full time work naw mean :].. but the first thing i would want to do is upgrade some tires and throw a wing on my whip any idea how much that would cost? i might be biting off more i can afford when i comes to decent mods because I unfortunately have no idea what to expect on prices.. -_-

 

wingless ftw!

 

haha alright let the debate begin....

 

Look at my S&S thread and you'll see why wingless is beautiful xP

 

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/at...-thread-04.jpg i like this wing right here.. anyone know what it is?

no doubt wingless is still legit.. i just like the look. wing + tint = gg

 

^its an evo wing...

 

Its an Evo 8/9 Wing, best to find it off an Evo Owner who is parting it out, a lot of them likes to go wingless. Otherwise Ebay or Duraflex will run you around $200+ no paint.

Im a fairly new RA owner and the RA is quick and fun as hell to drive, the shifting is not the smoothest though.

RAs don't come with Turbo stock, if you want to get a turbo kit it will run you around $4000 from the shops that I have seen. Also remember, if you are strapped for cash, turbo might not be the a good idea, you have to run at least 91 octane gas, I used to run 94 on my eclipse... And Evo or WRX with Turbo and AWD, you will be paying more than twice as much to run it.

Mods seems to be everywhere and cheap for any other other car cept the RA due to our rarity. But unless you are going to track the car, stock is already pretty damn quick.

I picked the RA cause I believe it is a good Medium between looks, fuel economy, comfort, and fun.

 

shifting can be improved with simple things like bushings and solid mounts

 

[QUOTE=soulesswarrior;9263582]If you know where to get evo's for 9k please do tell[/Q

are you talking about the new si? cause if you are, their pretty much the same price of a evo 8. if your talking about the other si's, then ok i get your point!

 

i thought i read on another post that evo wings don't fit on RA's? or am i mistaking

 

U need to drill two holes. I know a guy who has my old evo 8 carbon wing he said he'd sell for like 50 lol

 

ha pocket change.. if i end up getting one i'll hit you up..

And does anyone know for insurance reasons if i have to tell them my car is turbo?? or can i just tell them it's a RA and leave that small detail out to save some feds ;]

 

vin number will tell the insurance company that the car is turbo'd stock or not. and you want to keep all your aftermarket stuff a secret. Your rates will either go through the roof or get dropped.
