Damn I just went through 25 pages of this... Definitley a great post, I'd say sticky it.

Anyways I currently don't have an Evo, but my biggest regret is buying a 2007 TL TYPE S instead of an Evo at the time. I was just really pissed when Mitsubishi wouldn't let me test drive it so I went to Acura. If I'm going to spend 30+ on a car I want to see how it feels. I would have definitley bought one. Anyway three years have gone by with the TL and I'm finally over my gripe with Mitsubishi. Evo for 2010...

You gotta be stern with them. Of course they won't make you pay for a car before test driving it. But you usually have to work a deal before you do. You'll like the X more than the IX anyways

My only kinda regret is getting a custom open dump o2 housing. It sounds mean as hell when i want it to but sometimes when im trying to just speed up on the freeway or gain some speed, that thing will start screaming like a mug. I miss being quiet and punching it haha.

Why don't you like the HKS 272's? There a good cam depending on your setup and how much you paid for them.

I was looking at getting this mod. Why do you regret it? Does it not hold a charge for you?
