Tell Vesko to sell me the KWs for $500 plus the cost of install! The car needs a drop so badly now... I think his KWs are way nice though aka too expensive. So I'm probably going to stick it out riding "high" for now.

Come drive it and you will see
I've got an 11 lb flywheel in mine combined with a 6-puck....I would never even dream of going back to a stock weight flywheel

Its not thaaat bad buts its still not ideal, for me at least.
Maybe it's your driving habits? I've always noticed more free revs, better response and better acceleration

never had a prob with lightend on any car I've owned

Yes free revving, down shifting, response is ALL better..

Taking off (on hills or with people) and cruzing around town is annoying. I DO shift slow which is the cause of the jerk in between shifts, so it is my driving habits. I just don't like to feel the notch in my transmission so I shift slow. My s2k was giving me the same fits (notchy trans)

My problem is I am getting old and want an Automatic ( 24yo ). I have always had race clutches and 4 cylinders since I was 16.

If I would stop buying **** for the evo I could get a beater with an auto.

Yeah thats what I need. A second car with an auto for my dd.

With all that said I drove to boise idaho and back in my parents automatic truck and when I returned after a 5-6 hour drive I felt that I needed to drive my evo all over hell.

I love my evo and I will not be selling it unless something big pops up. It should be paid off this time next year. Then I will be building a 2.4 liter to solve my low end tq needs

2.4 is what I want to do too but I already happen to have internals for a 2.3 so I will probably just go that rout this winter

Ya automatic DD is why I got my 95 Subaru Impreza. I still wanted awd for winter and this was a great deal so I am happy with it I am toying with the Idea of doing a Stock EJ25T and 6 speed swap into my light weight little impreza for some fun We will see. I want/ Need a house soon so I will probably get that checked off first before I do anything to ether car.

Dude that is what i'm thinking. An auto subie and then buy a house. They are waaayyy cheap right now. I can't wait to have my own garage. My parents hate when I talk about buying more stuff for my car because they know my car will end up in their garage for weeks

Did you buy a 2.3 stroker kit, or is it pieced ?
