I own an 2003 Evolution Gsr and im broke any tips and tricks i should know

 

If you're broke, leave it alone.

 

launch sparingly lol. Wheel hop is the death of the spider gears of the stock front open diff. Tires and brakes are 2 things you should never skimp on. Start a maintenance fund and make sure you do all the scheduled maintenance, otherwise it will cost you much much more if you don't.

 

thanks you all for the advice

 

the front diff is tcase right?

 

^^^You are correct!

I see you joined in May & are now posting up Glad to have you join us here on EVOM

Let us know if you have further questions

Heres what it looks like FYI (item 6) (EVO 9 version w/ACD)

 

I second this. Just be sure to keep up with maintenance and you'll be fine.

 

The front differential is inside the tcase. If you launch car wrong, it can cause quite a bit of damage if it explodes. If you're lucky it'll just break and not take out anything else. There is also the factor that a bad launch can hurt the ring and pinion gears of the tcase.


Yup. If you're truly broke, it is not a good idea to do anything more than maintenance items. Piecing together $200-$500 at a time to do mods and get it tuned is cool, until all of this causes premature failure of a larger component you can't afford, leaving the car parked for 3 months. Like a clutch that was already kind of on it last leg, then turning up the power makes it slip, and you just blew your wad on parts/tune. So now the car sits because you don't have $1800 to replace the clutch..
