As it says wanted to know the pros and cons.Are there any problems that regularly occur?help me out with some info.

 

pros: whats not to like?
cons: no cruise control, expensive.

 

Not to mention a pain in the ass to work on. It wouldn't be a DSM though if it wasn't. Great cars though if you have the money to sink into it.

Personally speaking, if you have enough cash floating around, I'd scoop up a MKIV Supra. Of course it won't be new at all, but they have been proven over and over again to make sick power and still maintain rock solid reliability. You just have to have the bank to afford the performance parts and maintenance. 6 speed would be my choice, since the Getrags can hold insane amounts of power. The autos don't hold near as much, but if you can afford to get a better stall converter and beef it up, the autos are total beasts at the drag strip.

Good luck with whatever you choose though. Post pics when you get your new vehicle.

 

youll need an aftermarket clutch if it hasnt been replaced already...depending on if you buy new or used.

 

depends on what you want to do.. I have an 06 and its still stock which i plan on keeping it that way for a lil while... I havent found many things i dont like about the car

 

proz - you dont see many of them. and whoever has one everyone looks at. so its like your the man. good car easy to mod and the response to a mod is on the money.... always fun to drive. its like a roller coaster all day.

conz - stock clutch sucks. i already killed mine and i had to replace it. then again i was an idiot on it ;x...

but yea car is awesome. i love it. i just drive it whenever im bored. just a fun car. alittle cheap on the inside as for sterio and crap, but then again does anyone keep their stock sterio? in any car?....

good luck. show picz. if u get an evo get a 9. MIVEC!!! ;\

 

yeah well I was thinking of getting a mkiv but I have a child on the way so I am really wanting a 4 door.So really its up to either an sti or an evo.Not really sold on either personally.Now have the evo had a problem with crank walk like the eclipses had?Any opinions on the sti?

 

I havent heard of crankwalk on our EVOs.

As far as evo or sti, go test drive them both and see which you perfer. You cant go wrong with either.

 

There's not really any cases....yet. Only time will tell, once more of the cars have higher mileage on them. I have a feeling that Mitsubishi may have nitrided the cranks though, after realizing the clusterfuck with the 2G Eclipse/Talon Turbos.

Keep in mind, that technically, any motor can crankwalk at anytime though. No line of cars are "invincible" from a walking crankshaft, the 2Gs just seem to have a more widespread problem, do to Mitsubishi screwing up straight from the factory. It's been a debated topic for years now and there are many different theories, but no one knows for sure yet. Even the mighty 2JZ-GTE Supra motor has had reported cases of crank walk before.

Best thing to do is just take good care of the car. Continue to learn/research your car as you own it over the years. I think doing small things (like using good ful synthetic oil), helps to prolong your motor life and somewhat deter crankwalk. Doesn't mean it'll make the car crankwalk proof, but it can help. If the motor has any issues that can cause the crank to walk (out of spec manufacturing, non nitrided parts, etc) it'll eventually walk, no matter what you do.

Good luck with your find. Both the STi and Evo are excellent cars. I personally prefer the inline 4 design, but the boxster motor is very potent and robust as well.
