Re: What makes an Evo better than an STi?

^this is due to the fact that every manufacturer does what they can to cut costs. It's easier to cast 1 solid piece then 2 seperate programs, pieces, etc. Cheaper it can be made, they will do it. Cars just aren't made like they used to be. Toyota uses this design, but it works quite well. I have yet to see one snap, but at the same time theirs is a bit more beefy.

Back on topic..good video matt.

Back on topic...
Are Toyota's caps billet as well?

If they have to pull the motor to deal with the head on an STi then our issues seem academic. The reason I junked my `96 Impreza is because the head went out...they wanted more than blue book to fix it.
