Nice transition, digging the mistu over subi status anyday. Not a big fan of the X, but I am bias of course! Too bad you aint got a garage for that thing. Not so much the elements as it is the community status e.g. - door dings, theft, etc.

Its crazy that you put all that money into the subi and you could have just bought the STI and been done with it. I guess the journey is part of the fun

I do get a chuckle out of lancer owners who "build" their cars to the likliness of evo's. I used to have a Z24 cavalier that I wanted to build into a mini-camaro

Looking nice, keep up the good work!

 

Yeah hindsight is 20/20, if I knew where I was going earlier I think I would have skipped a step

Cheers,

that's one way to look at it.. after all, it's said that mimicking is a form of flattery. i mean the evo still carries the lancer moniker for a reason. now if the evo ever went the hatch route.. i'd be keen to emulate

 

I think you'll like the X better as soon as you spent equal amount of money modding it as your Subie.

 

welcome! you will not be dissapointed

 

Welcome to the community, enjoy the journey u will have with the XXX

 

Thanks for the welcomes guys,

Yeah it's been a fun ride thus far

 

Today was a major overhaul day for the Evo,

I'll have a nice write-up and some videos tomorrow,

Installs included AEM Intake, Samco Radiator hoses, and UR Resonated TP...

It took me over 2 hours to get two bolts off my stock-cat and wound up having to cut it once I got slack...

Here's a teaser shot,

 

I came from an '06 WRX and swapped '01 RS. I miss my subies, mostly the sexy exhaust note, but love my X equally. Can't wait to start the modding process.

 

Lol I was wondering about that also.

 

car looks good nice write up

 

I am noticing that a lot of the Subaru guys are changing their vehicles to Evo's. I have never driven a Subaru but I know I wouldnt own one. Friends that I know say they have problems with simple **** on the car. After all even Ken Block doesnt want to drive a Subaru anymore.

 

My 08 gave me no problems (a lot less than my X has) in terms of little things, I just knew that a WRX wasn't going to get me where I wanted and the STIs didn't have great deals like the Evos were at the time...

 

I'm an ex-Subaru owner myself (2005 Impreza RS, then a 2007 WRX Limited). I considered a newer STI, but I hate the latest redesign. The Evo X is so much more car than the past Subarus I've owned.

 

After spending a lot of time and money working on my 2002 WRX, that I still have, I've grown to hate working on Boxer motors. All of the excess piping alone always angers me now, compared to the simplicity of the 4b11/4g63.
