Hey guys! I just bought my first Evo and I couldn't be more excited. It's a 15' GSR. My previous cars were an 04' G35, 13' 370z, and a 15' STi that I traded in Monday. There was only one left in my area and I pulled the trigger. Deep down, I always wanted it more than my STi. I'd search forums and watch videos night after night and I couldn't take it anymore.
When I was in the STi, I always felt like I was the lesser of the two. From what I understand, the Evo has a much better engine and the STi a better transmission. I got sick of hearing about ringlands haha. I have a lot to learn and I'm sure I'm on the right page to help.
So far, I have my WORK T7R's from my STi on my Evo. I just installed rain guards and have to install RallyArmor flaps at some point (I love the paint protection). The dealership tried to swap the TPMS sensors from the Evo to the WORKs, but they said it wouldn't hold air. Actually, he said they'd never work and my TPMS light will always be on with my wheels. Maybe someone can help me out on that.
I hated the 15's didn't come with Recaro's but thankfully 311RS had a brand new set from a 14' Evo and they're on their way! Short term I need coils or springs to eliminate some of the wheel gap. No, I don't want to slam it. Suggestions please. I also want an exhaust to tide me over. I love loud! Before I sold my STi, I almost bought the Tomei. Suggestions welcomed! Long term I want 400-500whp safely. Thanks everyone!
