[QUOTE="mototo, post: 1064288040, member: 2199"] i'm surprised no one has mentioned security? ... or did i miss it? These cars aren't exactly common on the road and for a daily, you'd better have some pretty secure parking. my 8 is daily driven and although i'm not based in M'sia, i still cannot leave my car anywhere i like, suburbs and roads (cops and carjackers) which i avoid also it never sees the carpark of a shopping centre. Heck i've been toying with the idea of dewing'ing it and slapping on a GLi badge for shits and giggles. Basically, it only sees the road on weekdays and weekends if its a countryside drive. Yes everytime i plant it i get a grin from ear to ear but i think the power is overrated. Probably coz mine's a stocker and thats how i like it. :rofl: - 7's have the stronger 5sp gbox. - Transfer case, clutch all needs to be taken into consideration when you dump it at 6k to get that fully sik launch. - AYC problems can be hard to resolve unless you buy a new pump or recondition it. (plenty of guides on the net, time consuming job and the car is off the road unless you have a spare pump). people hide the issue by taping up the lights beneath the dials. - air con compressor can be problematic. Again cheap fix guide available on internet - recaro's in there aren't the best. Its essentially a "cheap" recaro. I've taken mine apart to repair it and i was NOT impressed. - stock ecu is programmable to an extent. many have taken advantage of this. (evoscan) - produces very good results if tuned on e85 (not sure if avail in malaysia?) - underbody rust. particularly if the car comes from north of japan - it is a 11 year old car for alotta money (m'sia landed costs for an evo) just my 2c.
