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!

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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 :)

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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!

Re: DSM Farewell
 

Good bye. Good luck.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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

Re: DSM Farewell
 

Fuck it buy a civic, bomb ass gas mileage.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

Thanks

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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

Re: DSM Farewell
 

Not true in all cases; at least not in mine. An STi was $10 more a month. '05 vs '05.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

Thats cool then, who are you with? From the insurance list I saw the EVO was the #1 most expensive car to insure (this of course is a list of "regular" cars, no exotics). The STi was on the list too somewhere, the S2000 was #7.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

AllState. I compared Evo/STi/03+Cobra. The Cobra was $187, the Sti was $175 and the Evo was $164/month. I wanted the Evo anyways so it turned out good for me.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

I've had a real hard time finding any EVO's. The last one I bid on and lost, the dealer that bought it ended up selling it at a loss. I was the high bidder on a mint used STi last week, I didn't get it though. The STi's come through about one or two a week, I haven't seen an EVO for months.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

Why?

Re: DSM Farewell
 

If you're planning on leaving your next car all stock I'd go with the STi, since they're more comfy like some people have said. IMO

Re: DSM Farewell
 

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.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

I'm having Kline Mitsubishi look for an used EVO for around 25K!

Re: DSM Farewell
 

$25K, what would you guys go with besides EVO and STi?

Re: DSM Farewell
 

MKIV Supra, 03-04 Mustang Cobra, SC300 or SC400 and turbo it...

Re: DSM Farewell
 

I say MKIV Supra's are harder to find then a SC300. Besides the 300 is one hell of a sleeper if you get the turbo kit for it. 03-04 Cobra's are alright in my book. i hate that body style. I like the 5.0's alot better..and the new Stangs are sweet. Go find a FD RX ... Rotory FTW....

Re: DSM Farewell
 

Green 97 Supra TT $28K... It's not stock ahah! Plus I'm not going away from AWD. AWD FTW

Re: DSM Farewell
 

$500/month for insurance,,, damn for 05 STi

19 yrs
no violations

Re: DSM Farewell
 

Holy crap! Looks like you are going to stay with dsms after all ;)

Re: DSM Farewell
 

holy rape! time to shop for a new policy.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

Damn, no kidding. That's quite a load to pay per month! That's Full-Coverage, right? :D

Re: DSM Farewell
 

I hope so on that. My 92 Talon at Full Coverage is about 260 ever six months. And Liabilty its 150 every six months. Cheaper then the Festiva at 180 or so. I love Allstate.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

Yup staying with DSM... I don't want to know what a EVOs quote is haha.

Looking for a 2g now!

Re: DSM Farewell
 

Then sell me your god damn black car.

Re: DSM Farewell
 

92 GSX is going for $520 every 6 months for liability. Farmers Insurance, am I getting ripped off? haha

What co. are you with?

Re: DSM Farewell
 

I would say so. I have plenty of violations and mine was still only $180 or so for my 90 AWD.
