PANGES, yes x10. I've changed out the HU in every car I've owned. Factory units are garbage! Although I haven't gotten around to doing it yet in the Evo, it's doing fine for now. But first opportunity I will get rid of the factory one for something different.

 

You bet! I've never bothered with speakers in any of my cars because I've always got enough of an improvement from the HU alone. Of course speakers will further improve sound quite a bit.

 

I loved driving my 03' EVo VIII everyday, so I could keep the miles off my Typhoon. When I got rid of it, the car had 39k on the odometer in 05', I purchased it July of 03'. I loved the car so much I want another one and it might be a 06' GG IX MR. At least I can keep it garaged and put the mileage on the X-Runner.

 

I only like driving mine on nice days. Seattle/Renton area is pretty crappy to drive my Evo in, at least I think so. And I like about 5 miles from work so I dont like not letting it get a good warmup before it sits all day. However at night and on the weekends I have fun with it.

I think it all depends on your own situation

 

MY evo IX is my daily driver and I am loving every moment of it, there's just no better feeling than getting off work to hear my engine idle...awww...the sweet sound of the 4g63...brings me endless joy .

 

I'm guessing you mean daily driven but never raced? Yes, I consider that a waste, but that's my personal opinion.

I daily drive mine to/from work, gym, sports, grocery store, etc, but I also race it religiously as often as I can (drag, auto-x, circuit, rally-x). If I didn't race it often, then it would be a huge c0cktease. All that power and all that handling without being able to ever use even 50% of it. It's like foreplay without the sex.

 

thx for the post warr
