SSSoooooooo...... at this point so i dont reiterate and spew more garbage into this lovely thread, what part of maryland are you from. If your in the Northeaster corner, i can show you my RA, and let you listen to her purr. She is just like everything you asked in your questions, and what richard said above. But i lover her none the less.

19k miles on her currently 308hp 290tq, upgrading the brakes anyways cuz they are crap(brakes were not why you bought the RA, trust me), tailpipe is blacker then......insert bad comment to get you banned here, and idle is different because she is tuned and sounds and acts completely different from a stocker.

Thx Richardjh for the descriptive and knowledgable information. It really helps, cause I was thinking on trading in already for the evo, but there are no current incentives.

Antiblitz I live in Columbia, MD close to NSA. PM a POI so we can meet and to check out your 300+hp RA. Wow, impresive.

I love coasting to stop at low RPM in 2nd, it rattles and pops so much.

^Ya right. What you would intuitively think is being gentle on the car (gentle coasting to a stop) makes the worst noise, but a hard speed-racer-esk stop is smooth as butter (only problem is every douche in a Scion/Honda automatically thinks you want to race, when in reality you are trying to be good to your car, go figure :/ )

Keep in mind, he's not running the stock turbo anymore. He has an EvoX turbo in his car now, which is why he's able to put up those kind of numbers.

You might want to clue him in on how to get in touch with this "very large community of guys" that you're referring to here.... I'm pretty close to Ellicott City, and I've never heard anything about this myself either.

I believe in the last 2000 km's my tranny has been making some good noises. Rattleing like crazy!

Well it was rattleing before, but now the sounds are much louder.

Its loud enough to wonder if these noises are starting to lean "out of the norm" lol
