i personally LOVE the evo, but really it would be hard to choose one over the other... if you can have 2 cars hondas are great... like an s2k for fun and a civic for cheap gas etc etc

ive had everything from 450whp integras, to stock 94 civic vx's modified for fuel economy and I still absolutely love honda's and their reliability but I needed one car that I can drive year round in the northeast and not have to worry about slicks or winter tires etc etc

i love the fact that how i drive the car daily will net me a low 12' with just bolt on mods and a tune

well enjoy the evo, i always enjoy mine whenever i take her out, as for why im on honda-tech i became a Del Sol owner about a year ago so i frequent here now. other evo owners get boring they dont do some of the same crazy stuff as alota people on here, with the bright colors and crazy schemes

well today i went to a shop to get the springs installed and have a street tune done

the shop i went to www.innovative-motorworks.com out of Carlisle Pa did an awesome job installing the springs and them it for a great price!! Then John of www.j-k-tuning.com did a street tune on my car, everything went great and we maxed out my stock injectors at 23-24 psi

while installing the springs i also found out it has a works 3" high flow cat, and it has a lightweight flywheel and clutch from Fidanza

virtual dyno results coming soon and then I will be waiting to find a good deal on some ID or FIC injectors and a fuel pump so I can turn up the boost and make more power

Good stuff, Brian! I'd pick up the Deatchwerks 300 lph fuel pump or the Aeromotive 340 lph fuel pump. Those are the 2 I'd check out, but I'd prolly sway toward the Aeromotive piece.

How do the springs feel so far? I love mine and I think I'll be installing a Whiteline 26mm front sway bar when I get my clutch swapped in.

Jalal, I love the springs, it seriously seems to ride smoother than stock, I havent had a chance to take any corners hard yet since all of this snow, but so far so good!

and ya i was looking into both of those pumps, just going to wait till they are out on the market for a little bit, for the next tune i plan on doing the 1000's , a fmic and the pump and hoping for a consistent 350whp

That's awesome! I absolutely love mine... even at 74k on my OEM Bilsteins.

Can't wait to get that sway bar on to see what kind of difference it makes to the handling of the car.

Good stuff on the power mods. I still need a FMIC and will upgrade injectors as well so that I have the head room and I'm not maxing out the OEM squirters.

That is EXACTLY why I'm contemplating selling my turbo R for a wrx/sti/evo. I hate only being able to enjoy my car 6 months out of the year...
