so did u dislike anything?

 

 

Thanks for the nice words! We know that we did get to certain cutsomers, and i am glad you were happy with us and our parts. But we really want to get deeper into the EVO market and with the car completely changing for 08, this is a great time!

Well, i was saving some of the picky things for the EVO vs STI shootout. But the only things i didn't like are the shifter (not anywhere near the quality of the STI, and the finish of the trunk. These things are both not up to par. BUt i have been reading that others are having shifting issues, and it might be a trip to the dealer. The main things like power, steering, suspension, brakes are all great!

 

Wow! Neat thread guys!

I'm intrigued at how Mitsu used both a MAP and MAF sensor though...not sure what that adds in terms of driveability, performance, etc. when compared to just going with the MAP.

+1 of the shifting experience.

 

wow, the pics made it much better to see what was being described

 

Like your products, this write up was very impressive!

very informative.

Thanks - Sick Speed

 

Great write up, can't wait to see what products you guys come up with!

 

wow they should place this detailed review in a Magazine

 

this should raise the selling numbers of the X.
nice write up.

 

+1 on the shifting experience too. Coming from an '05 STi, I am ready to get an X like right now. However, both test drives shocked me with the shifting/transmission of the X GSR . It's freaking awful! Awful to the point I might not get the car! I mean, this is VERY important as it's how you drive the vehicle. It's not like a crappy looking interior or a bad radio or something. Very disappointed. I absolutely loved my STi's tranny/clutch and knew the Evo's wasn't as good, but no idea it was this bad. I test drove 2 different X's just to rule out the car itself. I don't know what to do - I'm stuck. Unbelievable on a darn near $40K car.

 

Great and very informative article!!

Think Im going to buy one. Right now.

Actually am going to dealer.

 

amazing write up, thanks for taking the time!

 

Excellent write up as usual. Just curious, what are some of the things other than the standard I/E are you guys thinking of doing?

 

Dude, its not that bad, EVO owners have had some notchy shifting since it hit US shores. 99% is not a problem , a few slightly more notchy and different fluid in the tranny helped. if you think this car has a transmission problem point it out to the dealer and have him get you another car. the cars shifts like butter, only slight notch when its cold, gone in 5 min of driving and speed shift with no problems. i understand it may not be as sweet as the STI , but you make it sound like its broken. I think your ranting over the Top. go drive a porsche or ferrari . these have very hard gated shifters and they cost 2-3 x what an EVO cost.
