Those were popular here at one time. They had this Initial D set that had cars that weren't in the anime. Like a R34, a MX-5, I can't remember the rest. I haven't seen the new manga that came out, I haven't had time to buy it/read it. I'll just wait for it to come out. What did you type that was censored?

It's not too bad actually. Still about 280hp as I recall. No AYC or adjustable center diff, but it's still quite fast. Only a 5spd manual too. But it still manages to beat the pants off the 300+hp STi on a track.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of FWD either but it can be quite fast when driven and tuned properly. Tuned FWD cars are popular here, as it's a pretty cheap way to go fast and most people don't really know the difference. [/QUOTE]

The AYC thing sucks... I'm wondering how it can beat the STi though...
FF is popular but not as much as it is in the U.S. We have the usual Honda clubs and things like that. I don't bother with them. A friend of mine here has an EK9. I don't like it. When I think FF, the only word that comes up is understeer.
Yeah, they're great cars to own. The nicest EVO I've seen was VeilSide's demo car... I drooled. And the VeilSide Z33... uhhhh

OH MY GOD! My dad just brought home a MA63 for me to work on! This will give me something to do. I'll tell you guys what's going on with that thing after I'm done. Peace.

our crappy american evo outperforms the STi subaru sent us..the subaru is actually a smaller car, but they weigh around the same. the evo is just a better built machine..even without an electronic center diff and the detuned engine. subarua just can't handle it 
and if a j-spec evo shows up..lol that subaru better hide 
(unless its a 22B..)

I'd still rather have an STI over an EVO8..at least the US evo8 ('cause the JDM one performs so good I could overlook the styling) anyway. I just don't like the styling at all. (and the Altezza ripoff taillights are hideous)

lol car and driver is crap... who cares if hte sti doesnt come with a radio... that is not what it is meant for...
the american lan evo is a ricers dream.... teh STi will kick its ass on the track... as i said... it has much much better designer struts... etc i dont have time to post about it... the evo is not the drivers car here...
before you judge or let someone judge for you... check out the web pages and check out what and evo comes with and a STi comes with... you will see that stock an STi has many more things that will improve its handling and engine respose... i dont remember if all come standard or not... so do your won hw... screw car and driver...
however if you try and compare a WRX and a EVO the WRX will always loose...
you are gonna listen to LAN EVO who obviously has a prejudice toward EVO's... i would love a j spec evo... but hell mitsu wont give it to us... dont think we'd shell out for it...
and if you want more details i know onlike page 7 or something of this thread we talked about it...
never use car and driver for 0-60 or quarter miles... no good... they think there readers are fools or something...
i am out

actually it is a reliabale source, they did tests in road and track too, and many otehr import automotive mags, they all came up with teh same result, the EVO beat the SCOOBIE, not soobie, mainly b/c u cant use all of the 300 hp b/c of the US sepc rev limiter that kills the engine half way through the last gear, also the scoobie has a larger turbo whihc means longer spool up times, the EVO on the otehr hand has a mid sized turbo that can spool up and zoom away, though it may have less hp, the accel is slightly faster, they r both great cars and im glad that the better versions of the car r finally here, but its really ur preferance, if ur focusing on interior, then the scoobie is the way to go, with STi racing buckets and nice brushed aluminum accents, while the EVO has a cheap plasticy feel to it, exterior wise, i'd have to say its a tie, i like both, i cant help it, but those r my 2 cents

i am a soobie lover... to me soobies will never loose... either car would be great if you didnt leave it stock anyways... both have alot of room for improvement even if you never plan on puching hte car past 300hp... the evo needs suspension... and the scoobie could stand to acc a bit faster... but all this can be done with a little after market fun...
hehe sorry about my earlier post i was just in a argumentative mood... lol...
oh yeah you gotta love hte boxer engine...
if you wanna go for hte car that will be rarer... i think the STi is hte way to go... a bit more exp... and already less popular.... 1 to 4 for the evo...
but still go to the manufacturers sight and get hte complete car specs before you make any decision... dont trust anyone but yourself... make your own decisions
BTW i have that image... and several others... great desktops huh

Actually, the design of the flat four is the best because the opposing forces of the combustion cancel out when the pistons are under fire. That's what makes it so balance, I think. On paper, the Subaru looks the best and the Lancer Evolution is its competitor, but now this is where preference comes into play. If you want to have something rare, then go for the Lancer Evolution. If you want to go for soemthing stable, go for the Subaru.
Now that I think about it, I don't think Mitsubishi in the US is very good in service. Or was that Mazda?

I posted something, but GTPlanet decided to shut down for a little while, and I lost what I posted. I'll try and remember what I typed.
The MA63, is a 1983 Toyota Celica. My dad bought it for 60,000¥ (don't know what that is in USD, but it's nothing over here). It has the 5M-GE engine which is a decent engine at its time. My dad told me he bought it so he could teach my friend and I about suspension and brake settings. I always bothered him about teaching me these so I can possibly work full time at TRD in the future. So, tomorrow morning, I'm going to order some parts for the car and I'll let you guys know how it's going along.
I was thinking about the STi. Do you think if the STi had it's 'original' engine (2.0L B-4), it would beat the EvoVIII in the States? All I know, is the STi beats the EvoVIII in every category over here.

The only major problem with the STi that I read from Car and Driver is that the car oversteers a lot under pressure, but the Lancer Evolution doesn't oversteer as much as the STi. If the original engine was in place, then it might be able to beat the Lancer Evolution. The thing is, the emissions over here are so tough the power may be robbed from the engine just to pass smog emissions. That's in compensation for power, I guess.

you sound like some like of ricer wanna be. how could you be not know how to find a AE86 in the US? and how could you not know that the corolla gts is the us verision of the AE86? why would someone buy a rare car that they know nothing about?
- 489
sadly that is the truth, most cars over here that r imports r all underpowered, there is not Integra type R this year, we get a Type S with 20 less hp, we dont get a Type R civic eitehr, we get a Si, again with less hp, they;re robbing us of our speed, but then again, we have alotta cars, and we dont haev passes, its either local road, highways or freeways, its a heavy business area so fast cars really wouldnt matter in a economy like the US's, but yet Japan is over crwoded, space is limited, ive seen big houses in japan and they're pretty damn small, but u guys get all the good stuff, but then again u look @ the domestics here and they r WAY overpowered, and if they're not u can get engines that do, its a sad place for imports here, very sad....

lol... htat is true for most things.... but we do get some good imports from japan... the new maxima should be great... the 350z or g35 coupe are great and will be getting better... the s2000 is no better anywhere else... i believe it passes cali emmisions everywhere... ummm cant think of any more... ITR is a sad car anyways... sorry that is my opinion... same with civic... and its not just cause its ff.... mazda is giving us hte speed 6 which is actually not that bad of a car... and the rx8 although nothing comped to the rx7 at least has a pround engine... ok cant really think of anymore... that is sad...
