I didn't notice it at first... but when I was driving my EVO X home after just buying it... my friend who was driving beside me commented that my car sounded like an airplane. I had to drive in an underground parking garage to hear all the sounds my evo makes. lol

So these are the new wider stock side sills that are supposed to stop stones from the front wheels front marking up the area on the car just before the rear wheel? Wish they thought of that for the 2008 models!

Do you ever feel like your seat heaters are turned on but you know they are not?

Maybe it's just me or it's this damn 99 degree weather in Jersey...

I dunno, sometimes I feel like my lower back starts heating up for no reason and I have the AC on.

I shift to have fun in any gear , dont beat on my cars like some other guys here. My other EVO only went for one service at the Dealer for the A/C system in 5+ years.
my Stock clutch was still in use at 390whp(still has alot of meat leftover 8k miles at that level 4 sale $100) switched to a twin because i ended up with almost 500whp
Never launching helps too

why do you keep asking

never! but the ac works like a mother ****er

but I did notice that if you turn them on, they heat up then get cold again, then after a while they heat up again.
Was the switch on?

Actually, you were the one who brought up the revs. I just asked a simple follow-up question which you curiously won't answer. I can only gather by your reply that you shift this car like your VIII. It's not difficult to have meat on the clutch at that power level, when the power lies at the top of the range and the car is driven at low revs without ever seeing peak torque. Sounds like the MR-T was a good choice. Good luck.
