Guys I need some help/advice

Hey guys,

Just checking out this place. I hoped I could get some advice from you all as well. I have an Evo (VII) but I've recently been doing some thinking and have come to the conclusion that it's not all I thought it would be. It doesn't totally suck, but there are some issues that I did not expect. I won't bore you with a long rant about them all but I'd like to detail a few here so you get what I mean.

For one, I've been having second thoughts about my car's overall look. I usually make a good impression on the girls with my stylin' lights and vinyl, but lately I've been getting a bad vibe from some of them, as if my setup was kind of over the top or somethin. I don't really understand this, I mean don't they want their cars to look good? Do you think I should add some spinners?

Also, there's this trend I've noticed whenever I race fast domestics. I always seem to lose. This really makes me angry at times because I know my car should be able to take them. I mean I always keep my NOS topped off and I know my wing is creating plenty of downforce, so I figure the problem must be that I just don't have enough power. I was thinking about doubling the size of my exhaust tip, how much HP do you guys think I would pick up there?

At first I wasn't too concerned about the performance aspect because I knew I was still faster than most domestics. I could have sworn that these punk *** kids into muscle cars just kept buying weaker ones, because I'd noticed that increasingly fewer numbers of these cars would even give me a race. I knew this was because they were aware I would take them by at least 2-3 lengths, so they wisely stayed away and avoided the embarrassment. But I started to reconsider this reasoning when it seemed like every time they would race me I would lose. What do you all think, do I just need more mods?

And then here's the kicker, I just found out yesterday on this very forum that some muscle cars can f*ck up my engine just by revving their loud exhaust at me! I mean what good is a fast car if it can get killed right off the line by dumb sh*t like that?

Basically, I hope you can see my problem here. I like my car and don't really want to get rid of it, but I really would like to sort out these problems and get back into the groove so to speak.

Anyway thanks for reading and great site you have here.

Oh yeah, Lancers forever!

Uh huh, I'm guessing hes a 16 year old kid with far too much time on his hands and not a functional brain cell to speak of.

I can't believe my first post on this board is to tell the starter of this thread (testing766) to F*CK OFF! Sounds like a dumbass tryin' to be a smartass! Go back to your Mustang forums! Sorry for the rant, it just annoys me when idiots poke fun at the EVO.

It's because you're granny shifting. Try double clutching.
