i like the idea of an evo, 4WD would suit my ability (i.e lack off) better i think, some of the EVOs have better 0-60 than an exigeS too (my prefered choice) .... but my wife wouldnt let me get an Evo, says they look ugly :D .... thats not my opinion btw, i think they look mean :D

BigD thanks for the great info about the car and the advice. I will not be pushing it too hard for a good bit of time yet as it is so different to the VX (oh and the fact I lack the talent to keep it on the road :oops: ). I think I will be going to extreme for my next service which is due in about 2 months.

I am very impressed at the power you are getting out the engine, it must be a very fast car. What clutch do you have in at the moment? Mines has an exedy hyper clutch which is taking a fair bit of getting used too.

I dont think I will be doing many mods in the future, with the exception of a set of mud flaps :mrgreen:

Right I am off to see that clip posted up of you going around the track.

Yeh I have the Exedy hyper twin plate and it does take a bit of getting used to but it is excellent. Not so good in slow traffic but great at everything else. :thumbsup

Evo 9's can get over 400bhp with very few mods. Decat and air filter or airbox mod and a mild remap. Perfect every day car. :thumbsup

That clip was someone with a bit more skill than me. :lol: :lol:
