Now that you're knowledge about an Evo's handling has been proven far inferior, you're back peddling right into the, "Well, at least the 370 LOOKS better" angle. So if RWD is superior than AWD, then FWD should be horrible, right? How did a FWD Cobalt kick some Ralliart/WRX ***? Better yet, how did the Cobalt SS/TC do so well in Car and Drivers 2008 Lightning lap? It almost beat every single car that was in the next class ABOVE it! All in the far "inferior" FWD.

The long and short of all this is, there far more that goes into a car than you understand. Its not always about the drive line configuration and nothing but. You barely know how to drive stick and you think you can make claims like yours?

when i said that the evo x is auto i was talking about the mr not the gsr. if you know so much about the evo then you should have realized that

Thanks Dude!

Ryans car is super bad @ss!!!! Maybe he'll give me a Killer deal on some Volk RE30 in Machine Black.

Just picked up some HKS hipermax III Coil Overs and the coolest toy ever. A Magden M1.b Performance Computer!!! Its keeps track of dynamic horsepower, engine temps, and all other kinds of cool sh*t. It was featured in the new Fast & Furious movie. Steven at Ampliified hooked me up!!! (Thanks again Dude!!) I can't wait for delivery and install. I will get some pics asap.

so, back on topic... evo_killer, nice job so far with the mods! what are you planning next??? if you're headed for the track, going to need to work on the brakes

Brakes are next. Any suggestions???

travisjb · 08-09-2009, 10:49 AM

Yes...

AP Racing Big Brake Kit Installed!

Since your car is new, you should be able to find a G37 or non-sport buyer for your existing akebonos, which helps offset the price of this kit. Alternative is to spend a little less money and try to mix and match parts from different vendors, e.g., COZ may soon be selling 2-piece light weight slotted rotors that go with the sport package. And of course if you go that route, you'll need upgraded pads, fluid and probably need to add ducting if you're going to track the car. The AP Racing brakes I have don't seem to need any ducting, but I'll prob do that anyways.

travisjb · 08-09-2009, 10:50 AM

out of curiosity, why the grounding kit? understood that to be more of an automatic transmission thing

EVO_Killer · 08-09-2009, 12:01 PM

why not....
Looks cool...
Can't hurt....

And I was high on T3's when I ordered all that stuff....

Dude, seriously? Lol. How's someone going to assume you meant *only* the MR when you make a blanket statement like "Evo Xs only come in auto".. Huh? Where is that telling me or anybody else you meant only MR models?

Just stop digging the hole deeper, we're all mostly adults around here; man up, admit you didn't bring enough facts to this debate and we'll respect you for admitting so.

But to keep my post on topic, nice car OP!

Hey Evo_Killer how much WHP do you have with this set up?

well if you think about the statement "the evo x doesnt even come in stick" and you ask your self why would someone say that you should come to a conclusion that i must be talking about the mr.

im also wondering how much RWHP does the op's 370 have as of now

EVO_Killer · 08-09-2009, 06:50 PM

I also want to know....

After I get my Berk HFC's on I want to get a tune and dyno.

I wonder what my Magden Performance Computer will clock my cars dynamic horsepower at??? Waiting to hear back from Steven at Amplified on when they're coming.

LiquidZ · 08-09-2009, 07:43 PM

EVO Killer,

Do you have any images of the Magden computer and how you installed it in your car?

cagneymc@yaho · 08-09-2009, 10:39 PM

i just sold my 06 MR to a guy in winnepeg actually. I live in Savannah, Georgia. I was running 11.5xx at the track. Stock turbo, stock block, stock head, stock ecu. All i had was TBE, cams, intake, and meth. Made 423 awhp and 426 torqe. I miss her. But had to get my priorities straight for a while.

Awesome. Are you thinking of a DIY?

I'm curious as to where you will be putting the box and how you route the wires for a nice clean install.
