Nate, I've been looking around at cheaper cars but I'm not ready to part with the Evo.

yeah me neither. don't think i could honestly. i could afford to add an s2k to the stable and keep both my current cars, but i dont technically have enough room to keep it at my place. my subaru has been having weird power steering/alternator belt issues and i keep thinking about trading it in since the demand for used subys right now is nuts (its worth 2k more than i payed a year ago)...but it really is a pretty damn good car and i dont know what to replace it with.

My daily car isn't worth **** and parking in the city makes me just want to replace it with another beater. Daily car is best being a boring car. You can still have fun in a boring car when the opportunity presents itself but 97% of my driving to/from work is boring.

That doesn't really have anything to do with building a track car. My plan is to continue to run a street car with just coilovers until the need to build one comes up.

legacy gt makes a great daily so far. been geat in winter too, heated cloth seats are da bomb. plus the damn thing went through the blizzard we had last year without even thinking about getting remotely stuck in snow that was as high as the front bumper.

too much mod potential though.

meh, not great. part of the reason im getting annoyed with it. doing a 200 mile ride to my parents house on 75ish cruise it can touch 25mpg. with my commute (10 miles each way) and regular driving around town the computer read about 21 usually, but calculations so about 19ish...although my last two tanks have started dropping for some reason.

High idle is almost always associated with vac line or IACV.
Boost leak test will tell you where the vac leak is.
