newbie intro ftl. I have an 06 Z that is actually pending sale. Im in the market for an evo8 or 9.

 

Welcome... feel free to use us as a resource, but after you do a search on what would presumably be basic questions (i.e., Is an VIII or IX better, how easy is it to hit 350 whp, etc.)

 

Ya for sure. No new threads coming from me.

Anyway, how did you like your 350Z and what is encouraging you to make the switch? Any pictures of the soon-to-be ex ride?

 

Honestly I love the car... but it isnt for me. I've had it for 2 years now and going FI is too much money for me. My true encouragement is my brother building his STi. I have too much fun in his car and i think its time i upgraded.

 

Yeah, an Evo will simply handle so much sharper than your brother's car while being much easier to squeeze extra power out of for less money while not having that silly grille or terrible taillights.

 

Lmao! He'd get pissed if he read that. Ya hes gone through too much money trying to make power. He was able to squeeze 400whp on the stock topmount and on an fpred. He should be getting a lot quicker soon though ;X

 

Well, it's true. I've driven a friend's modded '04 STi extensively (for well over 250 miles overall), and even when his car had decent aftermarket springs (obviously not as good as coils but better than stock), it still couldn't really compare. I'm sure your brother's car is no slough with 400 whp, but you'll see how much easier and less expensive it will be for you to hit that same whp goal.

 

Also had a 350z. It was an 2007. Too much money to invest to go FI also. Traded it in wit 5,000 miles on it. lol.
