Hi Dave, are you really interested in the EVO. Your suby is pretty nice! I have some recomendations if you want, that I would buy before an evo myself.

 

Can't wait to co-drive the evo too!

I completely agree. Star Specs ftw!

He has an illness for toys, be easy on him Jer, I already told him to get the 911 turbo he dreams of. But I think this stuck up porsche at the pvgp ruined it for me*cough* him.

 

Yeah, so my STi apparently drives like an Evo according to him. So why do I need to get into an Evo, right?
Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. Let's see if I can rationalize why I want an Evo. When I bought my STi, I was torn between the Evo X and the new STi. I went with the Subaru for a few reasons including the hatchback, more creature comforts, and the whole legendary boxer engine thingy. I don't ever regret buying it. In fact I love driving it! What I do regret is how nearly impossible it is to work on the car. I want another high horsepower AWD tuner car, track-capable and easy to mod. So I think that's the Evo. I'm looking for a used low-mileage car, gen VIII or IX, fewer mods = better since I will likely get rid of them anyway and don't want to pay for them.

I'm pretty bent on this, especially lately. Don't know why. Talk me out of it if you will. Support me. I don't care. I'll still drive the STi daily and autocross it; she's not for sale, Paul

 

i would recommend the IX. the MIVEC and turbo are very nice.

paul can has your engine?

 

Dave, are you looking for s track car? If so check eBay right now. There is a race evo for sale minus engine and tranny. It has been for sale for a while and could be had for a good price. Full cage, air Jack system, and much more. It would be a great race car fir someone willing to put alittle time and money into putting in an engine and such. Or is that more race then you were looking for?

 

buy my evo!

 

Dave, what is your definition of low miles? I too would recommend a IX based on your wants. Easy power and cheaper parts.

 

If you didn't disable lean spool that will cause it.....disabling it will make your life 10x easier when tuning afr.

 

So on the real when can we get a huge meet together??

 

pick a date, time, place, and keep the list.

there's no special protocol or permission needed to call a meet.

it would be cool if nicely and his car were able to attend. i am eager to see that bad bish. where has he been lately?

 

I'm in as long as it's a Sat. or Sun. and I have nothing else going on.

 

I'm headed to Buschurs Thursday to get some work done. Pretty excited though not excited about getting up at like 5:30 a.m.

 

meeeeehh more problems with the car. it is now grinding going into 5th gear, now i know that is somewhat normal in these cars after awhile but i have never missed a 5th gear shift.... i have done absolutely nothing to mess up this 5th gear. its a shep trans with like 1200 miles on it... any ideas?

 

Well i made 308whp and 323tq on jasons dyno today.. A/F was pretty rich, and had a bit of knock up top so the curve wasnt very smooth up top either. Once i get another map from jestr and he tightens everything out hopefully ill get 320awhp at least.. Im thinking about doing 1000cc injectors cams and FMIC so i can do E85 and be at 390awhp-420awp depending on boost.

 

i have injectors you can buy haha
