That would be impressive... let us know when it's done.

 

res - how many more break-in miles to go? You gotta shoot for 10s at some point. Just make sure, whatever power you end up running, that your trans can handle it. :o That dogbox is strong, but it has its limits!

 

WTF is an Evo?

 

eric i have another 2000 painfull miles till 30lbs of boost
but on monday i'll be able to do 15lbs and put it on the dyno so that will do for now

 

A AWD turbo sedan by Mitsubishi. As well as one unbelievable machine. It is also a WRC car.

Oh okay that's what one is. Wasn't sure there are so many new foreign cars these days gets alittle confusing.

Thanks for the link.

 

Not this year. They did not compete on the 2003 WRC, as last year's results were pretty discouraging and Mitsu is struggling financially. Apparently they intend to return, but I've read many rumors that they may not come back with the Lancer. Who knows. Right now, WRC is changing their rules to lower costs and very few factory teams seem to be happy about it.

 

my friend bought one the day it came out.he got called out at a 1320 and pussied out.havent heard anything else but that he wrecked it.

 

Maybe he didn't want to race it until it was properly broke in

 

i dont know about this whole EVO vs. STi bit....

it just seems to me like the magazines were biased before the cars even appeared.... i drove an evo.... i kept my WRX...
it isnt the money, i can afford it, It just wasnt worth the money to me... and for gods sake, someone teach mitsubishi how to build a dash... other than that, tons of quelling vibration in the steering wheel at idle... NICE brakes.... and sharp steering.. but to be honest, youd have to be a die hard subaru or DSM fan to pick either way.... except the tailights... its kinda sad mitsu looked to APC for that one... get the VII front bumper, and the tails... good to go... besides, a flat 4 barks like nothing else out there : )

all in all an indiscernible difference, and its unlikely anyone but a pure professional will ever see a difference in, but the extra grunt from the 2.5 is probably a nice addition for daily driving... and the fact that the STi supposedly does good AWD burnouts... if my car gets wrecked, or i decide to get rid of it for some off reason, one of those 2 is the way im going...

my only question is, why are dealerships carrying a few evos, and STi's are gone before i see em? Suncoast Mitsu in NPR has 8 evos i think? wtf? is there something about the car i should know?

besides, 19 psi? ive heard quite a few times that they ping showroom stock, and ive seen 2 STi's on the dyno, in a 110 degree room, and they didnt complain a bit! its too bad an evo wasnt there to back itself up... i wonder why mitsu didnt put a LSD in the front of the evo? STi has em all? besides, HOOD SCOOPS RULE.... sorry, just my unbiased biased opinion..
both cars rock... im not bashing either in any way. anyone who leaves em stock sux!
