damn ucb... this got ugly fast man.... LOL might wanna try norcal evo for this question.... HAHA, and oh, if ur going to get rid of ur sti, can i buy ur stromung cbe off of u? =D

 

i hope someone kicks all of you in the shin...

 

lol...yeah I posted there. I will part the car out if I decide to sell. I-club will get first dibs at the stromung (turbo back), AP, etc

 

true but iirc internet libel and deaththreats are on the verge of holding up in federal court.... I mean, people have gotten FU.@.K'ed over in real life for offhanded "I hope you die" remarks, I hope you realize that!

You can say "it's just the internet" but be warned the law is starting to expand to include it.

 

Oh damn, what a dick. Have fun on the test ride. So you're unimpressed with teh stock evo? The one I drove seemed pretty laggy, faster than my wrx, but defenitely laggier.

 

I loved the steering rack. Very quick, heavy, and mechanical. The STi steering is pretty soft and slushy compared to it. Suspension wise, also very stout, it wasnt too much different than my lowered STi

Power delivery was smooth, but yeah, just not nearly as grunty as the STi, which is expected. The stock clutch sucks too. Way softer than the STi unit and not nearly as much feedback

 

Just climbed out of a stock MR IX... I was bored, so took it out for a quick run in the local canyon (I also sell STI's).

I was not unimpressed and I swear, if a gun was held to my head and I finally had to choose between the two ~ I think I would point to the EVO right before wetting my pants. (Hate guns....)!

 

I really liked the handling, steering rack/feel, and seats. Just hard to compare a stock evo to my stage II sti. I know lots of guys have a simple TBE/tune, but no takers yet damn it

 

i know a few people, lemme ask them

 

You can improve the steering rack/feel of your STI just by adding a front STB. You probably recall the thread you posted in about the cusco titanium I just installed on mine.

 

or the whiteline steering rack bushing

 

already have a FSB and the 05 STi is supposed to have the better steering bushings, However, the P/S assist is less on the evo and the rack itself is just quicker. I havn't decided yet, but riding in a lightly modded one will help a bunch

 

I read an article somewhere about whitline and they sell this kit that changes a bunch of suspension stuff for under five hundred. Long story short the guys who wrote the article are EVO handling elitist and when they were done they could not not admit that the subie was a much better handling car.


Oh yeah and the EVO is way laggy but when the turbo kicks it sure does put your head back in the seat.

 

Could you find the article I'm interested in the read as well.

 

So...even after 500 in suspension mods they stock evo was still better handling? Or the STi was better and the evo guys just couldn't admit it?
