Actually, the aluminum hood is only on the RS and the MR.....

 

i was referring to the enkei's and bbs's on the IX's. from what i've read here the enkei's are now lighter, just not as strong as the bbs. correct me if im wrong. on the VIII's the bbs was the hands down better rims, but not the same for the IX's.

 

Wrong. All of them have an aluminum hood. The RS and MR have an aluminum roof. Don't spout misinformation if you don't even OWN one.

 

Which is ironic, because according to your signature, you ripped all of it out.

 

Pwned Listen to the man that has two

 

Here is my personal experience. The MR out of the box is sweeth the 6 speed pulls hard in every gear, handling is great. If you are going to mod, get the GSR. I road race and drag race frequently. The 6 speed cannot take the high horsepower and shifting get very sloppy at higher rpms. I Shattered the input shaft on the 6 speed and have since replaced it with a shepherd built 5 speed. I also took out the ACD, i cracked that in 2, went back to the regular center diff with limited slip.
So bascially, if youre going to stay stock or close to stock stick wht the 6 speed, but if you go all out go i.e. big turbo, stroker, etc go GSR, atleast you will already have the 5 speed and you can just throw out the ACD and put in a limited slip non acd unit.

good luck you will be happy either way

 

haha... i was reading it and thinking the same thing =) (no offense!!)

 

Topic creator, I thought you said that you didn't like Evo IX and that you were happy with your STI at clubwrx.net? Its pretty funny seeing you post here as I would never have thought you would even try to drive an Evo considering how much of a negative opinion you formed about it over there. If you consider the seats to be uncomfortable, I suggest you keep your fatass in the STI and be happy with what you got.

Correct

 

hmmm interesting. it's the first time i've ever seen anybody hating on the evo 9. at this point all i've heard are praises; more comfortable ride than the VIII's, better exterior and interior, and better performance in every category. not sure why he hated it so much...i guess it's a good time to end this thread.

 

I think that's hilarious that the world is so big yet performance car society is so small that we can track each other's movements from forum to forum (i.e. evolutionm.net, clubwrx.net, nasioc.com, etc...)....

That's y I've got different user names for every forum out there!

HA!

 

get the gsr - ayc would kick a$$

 

cant test drive a gsr in the us though...

 

whats an evo gsr, i thought it was called an rs, is the gsr evo, the 5sp model of the year of the evo IX's?

im also reading bout the ssl model?

There are three models. RS, GSR, and MR.

SSL is a packge available for the GSR, it stands for sun sound and leather.
