Ohhh I see... so the Evo X can't be a REAL Evo because it's got MUCH better safety features, a new powerplant and new skin... oh and it's a whole lot more technologically advanced... I get it lol. Man some people whine to much about this subject... it's done and over with. I had the most stripped out model you can possibly buy from the factory in my 06 RS and I LOVE my X a whole lot more. It IS a all around better car as I have said many times.

 

so true; I almost forgot about the L + R shifting on GT and NFS

Look at it this way, whether you guys like the clutch pedal and smashing the crap out of a gearbox while changing gears, you're always prone to three big mistakes: miss shift, shifting too early or too late; and then there's the traffic issue which is a b**ch if u ask me;

with SST all u have to do is slap the tranny in sport or s-sport mode, throw it in D and if your car's faster then the other one, you will win the race 99.9% of the time cause you will never ever miss a gear, shift too early or too late

one thing I like about the SST is that it jerks as much as a manual so you never forget how a manual feels, except that you don't have to smash a second pedal to get going which sometimes I miss except around peak traffic hours (50% of the time I spend driving)

 

^+1 If I had the extra $5K laying around when I got my car, I would have gone for the MR, my wife would have been able to drive & enjoy the evo :-)

 

exactly another reason why instead of getting me a faster stock '09 WRX (besides the main reason which is it being fugly) I got a car that now the lady is able to drive; she's one of those who have never been on the driver's seat of a manual car; she doesn't know where a clutch pedal is and I'm serious

 

don't know if this was discussed in here, but full color MID? I'm definitely going to want this for my 08 X. Are there any pics floating around somewhere? i gotta see this

 

Do the new shorty antennas fit an Evo 8? And if so, when can i order one?? LoL

 

No, I haven't tried it. It never apealed to me. I guess if I haven't tried it don't knock it huh. Maybe it is good, but I love working the clutch, and I've learned how to drive on a stick shift and I've been driving a stick my whole life so it's second nature to me. I feel more "one" with the car working a clutch. I guess if I was tracking my car an MR would be nice.

Sam at Southcoast just got the 2010 EVOS!! just thought it let some of you know

 

but when do they go on sale ?
and when can we take a look at em?

 

If it ends up being a DIY install then I'm all over it. Mitsu parts departments are going to love selling those.

 

I don't think that's going to be the case. It will probably require a complete cluster swap which won't be cheap.

 

I'm keeping my mono-red stock MID. The 2010 looks kinda Civic-sh. I already have a secondary full color MID using Evoscan gauges and a netbook w/ car-mount :-) Check video on my sig!
