Plenty of room in it though

 

No Boost Guage and the taillights are my only problems....

 

What about the STi?

 

Boost guage is not needed ina factory car. why?

Boost is handle by the ecu and the engine setup is engineered to make a certain amont of boost.

since they dont want you modding the engine. They are not gonna provide a tool such as a boost guage to help you raise boost.

Its provided in the srt4 but lets face it. Its a neon, its needs that extar for selling point.

 

1. I gotta admit, I heard complaints about this in Mitsu, and Hyundai and even Lexus.

It either hit or miss, or you it a probably with you personally. Its not a truck were you can have tools in your pokcet and get in and out. And well lets face it. being over weight does not help.

2. yes lumbar support would be nice. But even thou its a sedan. Its not sold as a luxury sedan, its sold as a performance car, more or less rally car.

3. Well, being a perfromance car, cruise control is not high on the list, but being US has long boring straight highways . I figured they woulda added it.

4. I dont know how YOU decide if a tranny feels like glass or not. Feels fine to me. It also could be the inferior fluid mitsu uses. try redline mt90 is makes a world of difference.

when I buy cars I drive them home an add it.
I do agree fifth is high.

but once again...its keeps your in the power band and give syou that sport feeling.

I wonder if an aftermarket gear from for a GSX woudl fit in the evo. They do make them.


But you realy cant compare an GSX and EVO, like so many people do. They do not have much in common.

The engine and awd are similar but also very different.

I am sure alot of ppl see the the Evo lancer as the GSX awd and engine in a coupe. Buts it not.

You want a comfy car, you should look at a galant vr4. Thats mitus version of luxury/performance sedan.


Evo lancer is just a performance sedan.

 

Agree. And, thank God, they did not put something like GSX had. An ECU-guess-turbo-gauge.

 

I wanan get the defi guage HUDS boost guage

 

These are cool. But I can not justify $1K for gauges. I am not good enough to tune my car myself so I'll wait for some good tuners to firure out the ECU and ask them to do the job. In this case I will not a gauge except for entertainment value.

 

The boost guage is offered as a factory option, I just thought it would be nice if it was a standard.

 

What about the sti? You've got the wrong motor in your subaru

 

what ya smoking?


defi boostguage HUD is $300

 

Exactly. Keep telling yourself that you have the "JDM STi". Maybe the detonation will go away. If Subaru had brought the 2.0L REAL STi here, I probably would have bought it. Instead, it has different seats and a different engine...

 

Wouldn't the 2.0STi be lighter as well. Imagine if they left off the DCCD how much weight that would save.

If they had brought the 2.0STi, I imagine the STi would have been more cost copmartive to the Evo and might have outhandle it being lighter. Maybe Subaru will get a few ideas and offer some options on the STi lineup for 2005. I don't think the STi sales are even what the Evo sales are right now.

 

What is wrong with it? I am not going WRC racing so I do not care about FIA rules.

 

The only option for me would be the whole pod and it makes about a grand.
