Hey everyone i know this been posted probly a millions times.. i try serch but idk if its not working but does anyone know the thread to the SEvsMR i love this fourm i have learned a lot of things.. i am still looking into to buying the right evo for me..i am guessing its going to be a long looking time and probly not goign to be close to me..but hey it is worth the wait on finding teh right one..i almost quite and bought a civic si my my brother in law said suck it up and keep looking and save money.. so thats wat i am doing and trying to learn more.. Thanx for all the help guys... its going to be my partime DD

so i decided to get a evo 9 cause i planning on only going 400whp/ staying probly on the stock turbo i ant looking to do serious track maybe once in a while.. but i am kinda intresed on AutoX thought it looks fun ant to sure yet. so now i am stuck on teh SE or MR and teh color(blackORwhite).. i been doing research but i dont know if teh search isnt working or wat... But this is where i am at. i would love any insights on autoX or anything.. once again thanx for all the help guys

 

I would say go with the SE over the MR and save yourself a couple thousand dollars, the only thing you will be missing is the MR struts and the 6 speed which is probably not better than the 5 speed.

 

Se!!!

 

Se!!!!

 

SE...but it doesn't come in white. I guess black SE it is!!

 

I would say go with the SE. I have the MR and the only reason for that is that I did not do my research before buying. I now regret that decision.
The only real difference between the SE and the MR is that the MR has a 6 speed and Bilstein shocks.
You don't really gain much with the 6 speed: a little longer overdrive at the cost of more shifting. People will always say the 6 is weak, but I haven't seen or heard of anything happening to it.
As for the shocks: with the money you save buying the SE, you can get some new coilovers.
That is my opinion.
Good luck finding one and be sure to check out the thread about "What to look for when buying an Evo." Very informative

SE!!!

But...

If you drive a lot on the freeway I would prefer MR. GSR/SE usually wants to be shifted to "6th gear" on the freeway =) 70mph youre about 3.5krpm and you'll want to gas it up a bit cause the turbo spooling sound always get to you. Goodluck.

 

If i drive on the freeway/highway its probly goign to car meets... i am still really stuck on the color white looks so nice with CF. but the black looks sick with gold rims and a nice wash

 

Got lucky and bought an SE without even realizing it..not sure the dealer knew what he had..
