Selling my 92 GSX or giving it to my brother and going with 04-05 STi, I want something that I won't have to worry about for a while, and something new so that its my Project. The EVO is too much for me!

**scheides** · 10-03-2006

kbb on an 05 STI is like $26k. That's about what I paid for my 05 Evo, and 03's and 04's can be had for much less. Plus you won't have to drive a damn Subaru

I'm so cunfused! Your name is 94AWDTSi but you have a 92 GSX. Do you have an EVO or are you saying that an EVO is too much money, the STi isn't less...what's happening...I think I'm blind.

I sold 94AWDTSi, I'm driving 92 GSX, planning to selling 92 and buy STi. EVO is one of the most expensive cars to own. Haha , there was a thread about it! Plus I do want an MR, but they go for like $32K still! But I'll keep looking for an EVO!

Good bye. Good luck.

92EvilTalon · 10-03-2006

To be honest with ya. Do not get the STi. The Evo hands down is alot better. I mean ya the MR is the best model out there. But granted the RS and IX are still good. They are cheaper too. You can have a new STi for 32 grand. Compared to having a Evo RS for 29 grand. And the Evo comes with a aftermarket boost gauge. But eh...do what you want. I think you be better off with the Evo. It is alot better.

Maybe he meant the Evo is too much for him as far as power.

It's funny that a 286HP rated Evo 9 will put down a decent amount more HP to the wheels on a dyno than a 300HP rated STi. And then with an exhaust, MBC and tuning you can pick up another 60-70whp with the Evo 9.

I'll look into EVOs, is there any other Mitsu Dealers beside Brooklyn, Kline, and Metro?

**JET** · 10-03-2006

Check out cars.com and carsoup.com, both have a ton of dealer listings. EVO's have a lot stronger trannies too.

Thor06 · 10-03-2006

Yeah man, dont go subie. I know a guy thats been through 3 trannies already. I would look for a private party Evo, I bet it will be a lot less than from a dealer.

**Halon** · 10-03-2006

I know a pretty good dealer too. He goes by the name Goat Blower!

Swifty1638 · 10-03-2006

not to mention tuning on a subaru is wack, and harder to make big power with them then the evo. After owning both your cars, I'd think you would know your way around an evo motor pretty well. Remember, buying a newer car doesn't mean shit. Older cars have old problems. New cars, have new problems.

New(er) cars have fewer problems due to improvements in engineering (hopefully) and also the age factor. All cars will have their issues, but as a car ages it will of course have more and more.

the only way i'm giving up my dsm is when it becomes my casket or i get an evo.

HKSenilyks · 10-04-2006

Fuck it buy a civic, bomb ass gas mileage.

**Kracka** · 10-04-2006

Which is better....EVO or STi? Totally depends on what you want the car for. If I were looking for a fun summer-only car that wouldn't be driven daily I'd go for the EVO. Much easier to make big power too. If I wanted a nicer car to drive everyday I'd go for the STi since they have nicer interiors and are more comfortable. EVO insurance is also more $$$ so consider that too.

That was the plan, DD STi. Leaving it stock also.

The Subaru is a nightmare to tune... you can get the access port and whatnot but their ECU's learn and shit and end up making the same power after a few days of resetting the ECU.

But IMO I would buy one over an EVO if I were in the market, they look better, sound way better than any other 4 Cyl on the market and perform just as well as an EVO. But then again my opinion changes everyday, I like them both equally for different reasons.... fucking cars.

Put an insanely long and very unequal length header on any turbo 4 cylinder is it will sound like that. When you put an equal length header on a Subie then you lose that sound. The header setups they have to run on those cars also make them laggy, so they run tiny turbos. You also can't rev those motors without putting a shit load of money into the heads, so don't plan on just bumping the revlimiter up to 8000+RPMs to make up for the lag.

There is an interesting thread on another board about Subie people all of a sudden starting to jump ship over to the Evo side.
