I currently have a 2005 RSX type-S with basic bolt-ons and pretty nice suspension and wheel setup. I love doing track days and with my current setup I'm smoking my friend's evo viii (not stock).. and I know the evo is supposed to be way faster than an rsx so I'd love to find out what I could do out on the track with an EVO of my own!

Could anyone tell me some pros and cons to EVO ownership?
Are there any reliability/longevity issues etc I should be aware of before making my final decision?

thanks!

 

your friend doesn't know how to drive. rsx, lol.

 

 

lol ya rsx beating a evo.. driver sucks for sure

 

Yeah, def. something wrong with the evo...possibly driver.

 

evo great car as long as you take care of it

 

Blame the Driver.

 

Prepare to spend A LOT more in just MAINTAINING the Evo. Apples and oranges from the Honda world.

Just when you think you have a couple of dollars in your pocket, the Evo smells it and something breaks, forcing you to use the last couple of dollars you have to fix her.

lol

 

I'm coming from the exact same car, although I only had a race header and intake, no tune.

If your looking into getting an evo, DO IT! I still have my type S and drive it every now and then. The difference stock for stock is obviously HUGE! More torque you can actually use in regular driving. You won't regret it.

 

The only con I can think of is the cost of tracking an Evo is more than a Honda. Get the Evo and then teach your friend how to drive

 

Do it!!!

 

I like the way Evo MR stock boost.

 

Get the evo and don't look back

 

what?

 

oh crap i mean spools the turbo.
