Dag man!! I'm getting attacked for no reason!!

 

Cmon man, I'm not being rude. I'm just telling it how it is. You have nothing but bad things to say about the X, and every time someone says anything good about the car YOU have something to say about it. Well, Dr smile and Redline might be a bit worse than you actually.

 

 

Offtopic or not, he is right. You X haters need to go ***** and moan somewhere else honestly. Make your own forum. The X is a great car and has completely changed my opinion of it. However, I never made a huge deal of it being less then an IX since it is obviously better (I own an VIII and I have been wanting an IX for months). I have not drove the X yet but I am sure the trans should be pretty nice since it is an upgraded trans finally but we will see!

 

You obviously never had the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th gear synchro issues on the VIII either. They also had a TSB for that, as well as the P0300 issue. I remember people blowing out their trannies when the Evo VIII first came out from all the dang issues that car had on inital release. It took 2 years for them to solve most of those issues. My tranny was completely rebuilt, by Mitsu, due to all the issues I had with it. Gear lockouts, couldnt down shift, constant grinds into 2nd gear. It sucked, and made me almost get rid of the car by the end of year 1. Man, the whole forum was in a hazzah about the VIII's tranny issues. God, I hope I dont have to go through that again with my X. I will be sorely upset.

Noize,
I am getting the same feeling you are getting now. Definitely feels like the synchros are a bit tight on 2nd and 3rd. Maybe they arent lining up right or something. Its not very consistent though, and its not grinding, so I'm not to worried about it right now. Definitely will be keeping an eye on it though given Mitsu's history with bad transmissions.

 

This is getting ridiculous! I am being attacked for NO reason on random threads just for the hell of it. I made no comments about the previous post whatsoever and yet, the threads are being thrown off topic ANYWAY just to take a jab at me. Weak. Hopefully the moderatorss will come down on some of you instigators that take things off topic.

And if I'm considered an EVO X hater because I don't see justifying spending thousands more dollars on a stock car that isn't anywhere close to performance of what I have now and I don't jump for joy over these dyno numbers - oh well!

I don't dislike the X just for the hell of it.. I just don't get all hot in my pants for every little positive news about it like you guys do nor do I think it's flawless. However, I would appreciate it if you wanted to discuss my tastes on the X to take it here.

 

I hear ya! Well, let's hope for the best! I don't think Mitsu messed up the tranny design at all. Most of the tech was probably taken from Japan's Evos.

 

well some guys turn out to be blind X lovers. they will have most likely, some humbling experience in the near future. No new car came out bug free, period.
Although i think the X is a better car then the IX / based on me experience in the evo line/. But some think its invincible...

so for me those guys are just as bad as like the "X haters" ...
Why? because most of them lacking knowlidge about previus evos, so basicly they just throwing they own opinions around, like those are facts .
So they are misleading as much as the haters.

 

I am curious to see how the new X will react to mods over time. I am wondering what the longetivity of these new motors would be if given high HP. In other words, if the block is all aluminum, could that mean lower HP numbers to prevent engine damage versus the traditional iron/aluminum combo?

 

Close this thread.

 

Is it really this frickin' hard to stay on topic, people?
