Well, do you have any mods on the Evo? I know my friends evo has a lot of mods and throws CELs all the time (usually o2)

Sti from a reliability standpoint might be the route we go then.. (although an Evo looks better imho)

Yeah, Evo definitely gets the look category.

Right now it's stock, minus the super duper cool green underglow kit! Previous owner rocks!!!! Also have a set of Tein Aztec Lowering Springs...

and you threw a CEL?

my friend has done a ton of work on his car (minus turbo, which might get swaped next year)..... for the most part it seems pretty reliable. he just went with a new act clutch though since it was slipping with the additional power.
for the most part though, his car has been bulletproof... i just don't want a car with problems...

Well, not exactly sure why my CEL through the most recent time. I know last time it was due to a misfire in 2 cylinders.

Yeah. I think that may be the reason why I got the CEL again this second time. Lovely Mitsubishi Techs - due to a misfire in two cylinders, they only changed out those two spark plugs.


Not sure how the Evo IX is, however the clutch in the VIII is terrible.

yeah...i know.... i have heard from everyone about the clutch problem. i figure the first thing after boost control, catback, and tune is going to be clutch
well...at least that was my thought with the evo.... but maybe staying stock is the way to go..

NO NO NO NO NO

First slam it.. then get the boost controller, catback, tune, and clutch


That stock ride height is rediculous.

Hm - we have a nice Black on Black BMW 328i Sedan with Automatic Transmission and Heated Front Seating. If I can get lease payments right, I may snag that!
