Be glad to have you brother. The Evo is gonna love Hwy. 2. :bigthumbsup:

I have test driven my friends evos before i had gotten my own :motorsmile:

Big difference of comfort and ease of driving spiritedly. Now i know what you mean when Top Gear reviewed this car and said a 16 y/o can drive this car and not mess up using the AYC and whatnot.

Subaru whole different story, When in Doubt...FLOOOR it. it will break loose since it has no type of AYC and i had my diff fully OPEN.. so everytime the twisties came, i relied on throttle to gain control again.


In conclusion, the New EVOX is far more comfortable, easy to drive, doesnt hurt my back from long period of time (recaros ftw).

They are awesome cars. Truth be told I love the Evo and the Sti, but given the choice i would actually buy an Evo.

Oh, and where are the pics :nutkick:

Exactly, given the choice between the 08sti and evox....EVOX. Knowing that the 08's have problems and even more sensitive motors than previous years and handling is incomparable.

only pic i can shoot with right now is my camera on my phone :( but once i have my good friend with the goooood camera, ill be sure to take some and post. Hell, he might come with us to the meet and take pics of everyones car!

Hi guys! resurrecting this thread! haha.

alittle update, i traded in my good ol wagon. Got my self a evo X.

So far with 8k on the car with some lowering springs and a tune(no physical mods), i am loving this car. I keep reminding myself that i need to come to the meets and hang with you guys more often. Hbspeed tuned my evo x stock, and this is what it got :)

I am amazed on how well this car handles, with the summer tires, ayc and all.

whens the next socal meet! another cruise coming?

Word. October 10 is the next meet. We should at least do a local cruise eh.

EVOs are just plain fast. Good choice:thumbs_up:.

I learned a lot from this thread :)

Welcome back - long time, no see. Congrats on the car - glad to hear it's treating you well. I'm really impressed with the numbers the Evo X spits out with tuning and minor boltons. What's next on the mod list?

Gotta love awd.

yea awd with no traction control or AYC, but using your throttle, center and rear diff was pretty interesting and learned alot. The car would need to be driven, not the car driving you.


It really seems like when traction is broken in the evo x, AYC kicks in and i dont need to do a damn thing to correct. its almost pretty hard to come in hot, and when you think you are, ayc and throttle pulls you right out.

handling characteristics? Lets just say i spent so much money on chassis stiffening and anti sway bars to get my car as rigid as possible, including subframe bushings, and other polyurethane bushings all underneath on the wagon. The evo x on the other hand, is rigid, chassis flex? hardly any, if Non that can be felt. Comes with a X brace in the rear, guess that means no strut bar needed, strut bar is the frame of the car. Eibach springs is all i feel that is needed for suspension upgrades on this car. Coming soon, UICP, catback with a test pipe and a tune. Then ill leave as is, unless im lying to myself.

Eventhough there are so many upsides to the new evo x. Im really sad my wagon isnt with me now. dont know what it is, just miss the hell out of her.
