Please don't cross post. Your thread in Evo general was deleted. Pick one forum or the other.

I didn't know evo 7 was available in U.S.
Do you mean evo 8?

 

Slightly increased boost and power.

No power options of any kind that i know of.

No ABS
No Active Yaw Control

 

i'm not from the states...no abs...hmm...
ok the one i'm looking to buy has no brembos....i asked the guy if it has abs and he said he doesn't know...
also no carpeting in the trunk on the sides.....what about a/c?...

the car came down from japan to my country in the caribbean...the guy who i talked works at the guy's store...

what is active yaw control?

 

AYC - Active yaw control pushes power from side to side going to the most gripping set of wheels..

If you want more info google it.

If you want to see if the car has A/C go look under the hood

 

I don't believe that the EVO VII RS comes with A/C and radio. Although preliminary reports say an "urban jungle package" for the USDM VIII RS with A/C and power locks and doors, what happened instead was that all the VIII RS' just have A/C pre-installed and no other power amenities (except for steering and brake assist). There is no ABS either on the VII or the VIII RS.

Although A/C was added for the USDM EVO VIII RS, it is left off in the JDM and European market versions, although I am pretty sure it can be ordered as an option in those markets.

Very generally, active yaw control refers to the distribution of torque from side-to-side of the vehicle that can induce a feeling of oversteer or understeer depending on the situation while cornering.

For example, by routing torque to say, the left rear wheel under acceleration out of a hard right turn, the feeling of power-on understeer common to typical nose-heavy FWD cars can be reduced because this makes the vehicle want to turn right instead of plowing into the outside of the track / fence. If you do a search I think you could find more specific information. Hope this helps, and anyone else feel free to jump in an add/correct what I've said.

 

80 kg difference in weight.
1.5way LSD vs AYC
VCU vs ACD
Different gearing(same final drive)
No radio,AC,ABS

edit: Oh, yeah, as RoadSpike said, no power anything.

 

thanks a lot for the help so far.....but as for a everyday evo 7....i'm guessing the RS isn't really such a everyday car...especially as it doesn't have a/c...

so the RS is basically in a nut shell....faster than the others but u lose a bit of comfort...

am i correct?...the no abs is also kinda bothering me a bit too...

 

yep, no radio, no a/c ;p

 

Thats an RS evo VII. No brembos, no enkei's, no a/c, no abs, no trunk carpeting, no radio, no power windows, no power locks, mirrors and door handles arent color matched to the paint, no Hids, pretty much nothin but if i was able to find one, i'd buy one!

If it was an Evo VII RS-2 it would be a whole different story.

So, Ill bite, what is an RS-2 and how does it differ from the garden variety RS?

 

i dont like the spoiler on the back, but overall it seems tyte i just hear these older evo's have many issues with the drivetrain

 

The Evo VII RS is aka the RS-II.
