All the guys complaining about NVH or its too harsh just need to get a Evo X. That fixes most things... not all. I hated not having cruise on my Evo, but I had a rostra cruise control installed on my Evo VIII and it helped, but was not perfect.

I've talked to you about your paint more than once on more than one forum. AFAIK, you didn't do anything that was suggested. I even referred you to spot where you could find a highly qualified pro to help you, yet still nothing. I saw the pic you posted the other day, showing your trunk with steaks from some chemical you sprayed. C'mon. The paint won't take care of itself.

Well let me start off by agreeing with some things already said.

1. Turning radius (although i love the steering ratio until of course i need to make a u-turn!)

2. No cruise controll (this is if i was highway driving it although i dont all that often so its cool!)

3. I agree they should have all come with the JDM bumper and there should have never been such a thing as a USDM bumper! But i could always buy one!

4. Being a road and auto-x racer i am in love with the 6-speed. So there for i wish they would have made it stronger. Altho on the auto-x track i dont need enough power to over power the 6-speed and on the road course i can usually just take it easy! And once again i hear that Shep has a stronger ger set for the 6-speed in the making. This will not only make it stronger but it will make the gears longer AND they will change the final drive if wanted.

5. And finally for the last agreement Its NOT a chick magnet. Altho i have known a few who LOVED it i managed to F&%K it all up with them so there long gone!

Now lets move onto the last and final thing i do not like about this car. It is prolly the one that bothers me the most. I have also never heard any one else mention anything like this although i have a feeling this is because i am such a perfectionist!

Here is goes! I do not like that it is a FWD car that is converted to AWD! I like the GT-R, Skyline GT-R, Audi and any other true AWD platform or RWD adapted to AWD platform. The biggest thing i like about these platforms is that they either have a "true" transmission or a rear trans-axle (in the case of the GT-R). And i also like the way the engine is mounted on thoes cars as opposed to the way it is mounted in the evo.

Let me hear what you think!

Having replied to some of your threads, I don't think you want to know what I think.

Yep, cruise control has to be #1 for me, then the tank size but i was surprised to get ok mileage out of a tank (if i baby it 310 out of a full tank)
