MR = Gorgeous!

You seem to be referring to what was called the zero lift kit. It consisted of a small plastic strip that ran under the lip and a Gurney flap. Both items were available on every IX as a dealer installed option. The MR is the most common IX and the second heaviest. In the Evolution community, it is not most highly desirable. It differs from other IXs by the virtue of its killer Bilstein suspension, that most owners removed in lieu of shitty Asian coilovers, and the 6-speed. Every doo-dad from the MR was option on other IXs. For example, I opted for the factory gauges and the brake cooling guides on my SE.

I'm getting an Evo 8 in a few months after a while of wanting an STI,I just fell out of love with the car. And EVO's just look and feel so much better.

0-60 in 5 sec. Goddammit that's fuckin good for a stock sedan! Evos stand up to their reputation, I'll give them that

Perhaps the best Evo video on KZread. I'm the original owner of a IX SE. Only the MR came with the votrex generator; one of the reasons I didn't buy it. Someone installed it on the car in the vid after it was sold. FWIW, my SE with a full tank weighs 3249. Kinda wish you found a car with a stock suspension setup; the one you drove has compromised geometry. As for buying a used Evo, I'd never suggest that to anyone unless they were willing to play what it takes for a low mileage 100% stock example. Meaning, never modified. Good luck with that. These cars have had multiple owners each of whom modded, re-modded, and modded again. And it's not like we're talking about educated people, aggregately speaking. The Porsche rule applies to Evolutions, too - buy the best car you can from the beginning. It'll cost you less in every way. This being said, my Evo is the single most reliable car I've owned in +35 years behind the wheel. The beat-to-shit used one you buy won't be like it. That's the reality of it. Edit: Just re-read my comment and realized that it sounded kinda negative. Honestly, as one who'd been in the Evolution community for more than a decade, some of this is disheartening. OTOH, say you buy a stock IX SE. It's one of the most responsive and wired-in machines ever invented by mankind. Whatever you do, don't start modding it right away. We have almost 15 years of performance data that your friends don't know about. Don't mindlessly lower the car unless you want to earn a few extra bucks in the winter plowing snow. Better, come to the evolution owners group on FB and we'll help you. Good luck.

I have an Mr with the se package. The best Evo IMHO. And the six speed has a bad rap. I still have my original transmission (160k),the car has been turned for most of its life, and hammered on. The real issue with the six speed was inconsistent manufacturing quality. In some cases gear tooth contact was less than perfect and even not touching some of the teeth together resulting in inconsistent loading. My car was produced 8/06 and by the end of the production, revised parts were used. Plus the Mr has many unique features such as the bov that holds 30psi. I run 28.5. Thanks for the vid. It's always good to see am evo.

Love it

Awesome video man, just one point I'd like to hit on. The 03 and possibly the 04 evo's do not have the factory 2 step activated from the factory. For some reason it is set pass the factory rev limit on them, but a tuner can easily lower it down to a usable and more appropriate level. But unless you buy a rare unmolested evo. you probably wont have to deal with that issue. Keep up the good work.

I believe the earlier EVO VIII had weaker cases while the IX cases were revised.

Evo 8 was probably the best looking gen. I would i imagine it’s extremely hard to find a used one that is stock or close to it.

acd was available way before 2005. maybe not for you Americans but my EVO 8 FQ-300 which was made in 2003 came with ACD and AYC (being an import for the UK market)

The Recaros that came in the EVO 8, and 9 were great. I always wish I could have snagged a set, but never found an EVO at a junkyard that wasnt stripped to the frame bare. Laugh if you want, but I wanted to put some in my old 300CE, and get one that I could have modified into a gamer chair.

cvfb beats Yeah, I think it would have cost too much I'm our case. I believe the MR was already in the $40k neighborhood and that is V8 territory.

EVO-IX is the last true EVO. Such a great car. Correction on the video though. You call the little strakes on the back window "Anti-Vortex Generators". They absolutely ARE Vortex Generators. The vortices generated off of the tab energize the air, which causes it to "stick" to the rear window. An area that was usually a place of stagnant air. This energized air coming down the rear window, by way of the vortex generators, forces more air down and under the rear wing, the underside of course being the "working" side of the airfoil where the primary amount of the downforce is generated. The vortex generators also helped to improve the energy and speed of the air over the top side of the wings surface, feeding it more air volume, and also helping to improve the effect of the downforce generated. Of course the Vortex generators actually produce a little lift themselves...but that is a whole other aerodynamic conundrum for another time. Here is a video i suggest you watch on the subject that I hope you find informative and educational on the subject. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a4ucxsGEntaye6g.html And for what its worth. Removing the rear wing on an EVO doesnt really effect top speed at all, unless you are looking to do massive speed runs at 150MPH+. There was a video of a guy running the standing half mile in i believe an EVO-IV, at over 170MPH, he removed the wing to reduce the drag for more speed, he only gained 2-3MPH, and then proceeded to spin out and nearly roll the car at over 150MPH while slowing down, because of the removal of the downforce the wing produced. So, one could argue the trade off isnt exactly worth it.

@IaintTrynaGoOutLikeBIGnPAC

6 жыл бұрын

The rear wing is great for the circuit but when you get into ridiculous speeds it does cause way more drag the faster you go which would make it harder to accelerate. I tried to do 300km/h in mines but it was harder to accelerate past 270 because of drag. Which is why drag racers remove the wing

@bigbuckoramma

6 жыл бұрын

Spoonzaza this car is mostly stock on power, so those kinda of speeds aren't even in the realm of reality, and at those speeds, the rear wing makes no difference. If you are actually getting up close to the 150-200MPH mark, you probably have enough money and time to fabricate a deck extension off the back for managing lift and stability anyway. Or, at least you should. If you are running those speeds without aero tweaks, and proper safety gear, you're just asking to die.

What about for the evo 8? Which version was better for the 03-05. I currently have the 05 MR and love it.

The 1/8th mile is not 5.6 seconds, likely you have mistaken 1/8th mile for 330 feet distance. 5.6 second 1/8th mile from a stop puts the car on pace to be a low 9 second 1/4 mile car. With a 1.9 60' and 13+ second quarter at 99. The 1/8th mile likely rings in around 8 seconds
