daily driver/practical/potential for power later/cheaper insurance: ralliart
track junkie/daily driver/a little money to burn: MR
Plan on going over 350hp, and/or must have a manual: GSR

 

Pretty much sums up everything.

 

^ +1

And if you're going to trade in your Si, you're going to owe a ****load of money to the banks... an MR is going to skyrocket your monthly payments unless you can get an extremely crazy deal and barely any money upside-down on your Si

 

If you have to move your SI to get any of the cars you are looking at, you are going to be losing money. So that being said, I would go with a GSR. If they go 8k off the MR, they should go close to that off the GSR unless they just have the one MR left with the 2010's coming. Also, GSR is closer to what you have now in terms of tranny choice. If you like shifting get the GSR, if not get the MR. If you are going to mod the RA, I would stay away from that as an option. The GSR will be ahead of modded RA out of the box basically.

 

...and I'd steal his right nut for a graphite gray MR.

 

I already did for my RA... Don't ask... Anyway, yeah this, pretty much just summed it up, I've got a RA, and I'm gonna probably do an ETS Intercooler Kit w/ custom TTP Tune and should be getting close to 300.

 

Hibby....

Wanna trade?

 

I don't think my bank would like that very much

 

your going to need a tad more than that to hit 300 whp.

 

===== CASE CLOSED =======


I bought an EvoX MR

I test drove it, and fell inlove with the SST...

Definately needs a tune though.

 

^ Congrats on your purchase!

Wanna trade?

 

GRATS!!!!!! Make sure you break it in a bit before you kill it. What color?

 

On that photo of the computer on the Evo -
It says "all wheel control' and has all those shapes - what does that screen normally show when the car is moving?

 

Oh I guess the RA's don't have that do they.

It's the Active Stability Control diagram. Each one of the crescents is a tire. When the active yaw takes control it shows how much power is being put to each wheel. Then the middle one is power and braking. Top is power, bottom is brakes. When it applies power to the front it variably changes the level in the top, and visa versa for the brakes.
