im thinking about getting a new/used evo. i know the difference in all different packages/models. i would like to get a RS but i want power window/doors/HID. i dont want the huge spoiler. what should i do??

 

Get the model you want and remove the spoiler...lots of people do it.

 

Research. Just get the regular model and sell the wing. What year Firehawk you have? My friend has a 2002 Shaphire Blue (I think thats right...), built up 383. It put down 450+ to the rear wheels, fun stuff...

 

Sapphire, unless you have a lisp.

 

Ah yes. Boy is my face red... You ever get that CG lock? Does it perform as advertised?

 

Got the CG lock a few weeks ago, but just got the Evo back today with the freshly-built Shep 5spd with custom gearing and Exedy Twin Carbon. Suspension gets installed, tuned, and aligned Saturday along with major fender rolling to fit the big fatties, and then I'll toss on the CG lock for Sunday's SOLO II event. It's a Winter event, which is for testing/tuning/practice, which is perfect. I'll have more grip and handling than ever, so I should be able to test the CG lock rigorously.

 

this is what i have now.

Damn Warr that's a whole lot of parts that have major drool factor. Good luck.

 

Go with the gsr...get ur fully loaded car and sell the wing and then buy hids with that money but yeah the rs is cool but the no power windows is frustrating and no radio etc. No radio wiring either I don't think...

 

Incorrect, the radio and speaker wiring is in the RS, but it doesn't have ABS and this affects insurance costs in the long run.
