Take your nonsense back to the back room. There's no need for you and your unproductive, erroneous input here. Have a nice day

After reading through this thread as well as others, I feel as if the evo will develop more problems than I'm willing to deal with.

Also buddy of mine might be a little pissed if I get an evo 8 right after he drove to San Francisco to pick up his 9 a week ago

AC for any car is expensive. If you treat an Evo as well as you treat an S2000, you will be fine. I've run mine hard on E85 for the last 20k miles, and it's been perfect. They are far more durable than an S2000, and just as reliable to boot.

A grand is cheap with all that stuff you're placing lol.

An Exedy twin starts at 1600 for the Evo just for the clutch

I have had both depends on what you like if you thinking of switchin based on cost of repairs thats not the best idea as evo parts are quiet expensive but if you like the feel of AWD over RWD plus that boosted power over having to stay at 8800-9000 rpm to have any power well then the evo is for u!!
