Evo or Sti

[At-Least-It's-An-Evo]

Yes, Evo's love to eat clutches for breakfast, then a snack, then lunch, 4 more snacks, dinnner and then 5 or 6 thousand more late night snacks.

And it all depends on how you drive it though. If you plan on goin to the track once in a while always have a spare clutch in hand after a few trips. I've seen Evos reduce clutches to meer dog shit in like 3-5k miles.http://dsmstyle.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif


Hah. Well I have to say.. it had 22k miles on it, and was perfectly fine... then 7 launches and it was gone. It was my fault though because I did a run every hour thinking/hoping it was enough to let it cool. I didn't really care because I wanted to do the clutch and get it over with anyways.

Word of advice. Do it once, do it right! Twin disc all the way! :) Til you make 600ft/lbs and need to do it again. :)

Ouch, 3-5k, is that just a stock clutch? Would you get better life out of a better clutch?

Like I said, it all depends on how you drive your car. I doubt you'll be beating on it that badly though, but if you plan on going to the track once in a while I'd recommend getting a better clutch than stock.

Word of advice. Do it once, do it right! Twin disc all the way! :) Til you make 600ft/lbs and need to do it again. :)Yes, twin-disc is AL CAPWNAGE! Until you hit that number.

Oh, and I'm sure that an STi can rip apart a clutch like no one's business as well, gotta love AWD! I just haven't read as much or had much experience around STis' as I have with an Evo.

[longemoco]

i would go with with the evo for 2 reasons.
a) to still be a dsmer
b) because i love how it looks, my girl is pregant now and i'm considering an evo as family car, and since it's a 4door car the wife will aprove it,

If your going to be driving the kid around in the car... i'd hate to say but the STI i belive got a better crash test score.

I've been looking into a WRX and dreaming about an Evo. The WRX(sti included) scored safer then the Evo, but not like compairing a Saab to a Focus. Evo has the looks, better performance penny for penny over the STI. Better suspension and easier upgrades, and cheaper IMO.

STI has saftey, comfort and the cool hood scoop. I just wanted a WRX for the fact you can run about stock for stock with a GSX(about). And you don't have to fix it once a week. :rolleyes:

It's going to be a daily driver, with a few weekend trips to the track. I plan on building it some, as money becomes available. I just had a baby a few months ago, and so the GSX must go.


Why do you need to get rid of the GSX? Because you have a kid. I had a kid 2.5 years ago and still drive the DSM. I see it all the time “have a kid on the way need to sell” I don’t under stand unless you have more than one kid. The last thing I needed with a new kid is a new car payment.
Just my two cents.

4 doors?

[unreal808]

You don’t need four doors to get a kid in the car.



My Mom put three kids in a ford pinto 30 years ago. I think I can get one in a DSM.


I say keep the GSX, but if you must get the EVO.


I just hate to see people getting out of TEL DSMs. you know some day we will be sitting around the retirement home talking about how I wish I never sold that DSM. Like some old guys talk about how they had a cool 57 Chevy and how they miss it.
