any things u can do to the car to make it smooth?

we all know that evos (03 at least) is known to be...rough...(for instance, boosting up to 3k+ rpm in first gear and jus letting go of accelerator...i honestly dont know if its the same for all cars since im the only one among my frineds who has a manual car...)...so is there anything u can install for the car to make it more...civilized?

Shifter bushings, synchromesh tranny fluid.

Other than that - no. Its the awd system transfering torque and maintaining traction cause the "roughness" add to that how stiff the suspension is and there ya go.

i know what ya mean.. i have one of the last 03s and i do notice some trouble in breathing when i'm crusing...

i'd do the grounding kit, tranny fluid, 2 pc metal, and 5-8 pc poly.. not saying it'll go away, but thats the ONLY things you can do short of going FWD...

different tires, different oil in tranny (penzoil), ECU mode to smooth out the power band and last ear plugs.

Reflash your ECU so you can widen up your powerband, get Tein (or something similar) coilovers and set it to softest or near there and I promise you, your car will be much smoother....oh and set you tire pressure to 32 psi and you car will run much smoother.....thats what I did...I had the same problem...
