A STI with that much power will only last a month MAX. Another thing you might not know about the STI engine is that it has a simi closed deck "weak". There is a way to make the aluminum deck stronger and that is to Sleave it.

i sold my '03 evo a couple of months back with the evo X in mind. i say buy what you feeling more the IX or X, can't go wrong with either. it's still the EVO and mitsu is making it so can't be all bad! lol

new tech and new face for EVO is the next gen EVO. you can compare it to the xbox to xbox360..... the old one is still nice and you get great play but the xb360 is new tech and new face to it.

plus the new EVO X looks like it wants to eat other car's souls!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if the trans is the only thing you second guess about the X, then that solves that.
ur definitely rite because ive seen some ix's for like 27-28 easily and they have low mileage and all that... if ur not so needy in the new and fresh look ... u prolly wont be let down with the IX Special Edition .. although I wish there was a blue version haha


my choice.. ix .. i can only enjoy my 04 si for so long =X

I havent bought a IX even though I kinda want one because I'm afraid at what the X will do to the resale value of the IX. Once the X comes out the IX will look dated.

Meaning it won't be able to take the increased boost pressure that ya'll are used to doing to your motors. It will just blow up into pieces everywhere.

yeah I think its the 4B11. The 4g had its run for sure. Might as well stop improving upon an 18 year old base and start from scratch.

Why would you want fellow Evo owners to bust rods? Doesn't make any sense unless you drink yellow hateraid...


Quick Reply: IX vs X, which one should i buy?
