New to the Evo! Stepping into a MR *Updated Last Page*!!!

Hey whats up guys! So just wanted to introduce myself I am looking at getting into a Evo MR :yay: Evo's are cars like ive never owned before... I've never had a AWD car all RWD and 1 FWD... (fail when I first got into modding cars) ill post some pics of my past cars A4, Nismo, SC m3, Vette. A lot of my friends think I am "downgrading" and are giving me a bunch of crap for looking at Evo's lol but I am alittle tired of driving 2 door coupes and def. want a 4 door sedan.. I know the EVO is very different from everything I have had and lacks the "luxury" of a lot of the cars as well. I was looking at E90 m3 sedans, ISF etc. just not a fan... the v8's are great I LOVE my LS in the vette cams, heads, etc. but HATE the gas mileage haha. I also want to test drive the STI as well before I make a decision. I've been contemplating A LOT if i want to get back into a stick shift GSR or the Dual Clutch MR. I love HOW FAST the MR shifts with that dc in supersport or w/e. I would also love for the wifey to be able to drive the car as well. Ive read that with the MR with some mods that tranny is a lot weaker than the GSR. I dont believe I will be modding A LOT just some small go fast bits exhaust, intake, tune etc. nothing big like a BT kit or anything. anyway here are my past cars and i will be damn sure to post pics of the new evo when I purchase!!!


my past toys 2007 Audi A4- K04 BT, Sparco, Tein, Iforged, ABT full kit, Forge plus more. 2008 Nismo 350z #1177 of 1500- Matte black, HKS, Nismo. plus more! E46 M3 LSB - VF, BC, AA, Iforged, Autopower Roll cage, tons more!, 2007 Velocity Yellow Vette- Widebody, Cams, heads, exhaust, intake, 360 forged wheels with 345/30 Nitto Invo rears!! plus more!!

Watch out for the SST if you plan to mod past 350wtq, but it seems you have some coin. So im sure you will be fine.

From the factory some people state that the TQ limit on the MR SST is 400-450TQ before stuff starts breaking.

IMO nothing a good rebuild and clutch packs cant solve.

The MR is amazing no matter what people on here say. You just need to put some thought into what your goals are and address the SST accordingly.

oh wow shit lol making me think twice about the SST lol well im sure to gain that much power you will have to need to do a turbo swap cams etc correct? and thank you guys for the input much appreciate!

oh yes the LSB m3 def. was my fav. car of all and I regret selling it everyday lol oh yes the better half HATES the evo hahah

 

[FullBoostRacing]

Also gsr > mr. :yay:

Not true, I had a 2010 GSR and now I am in a 2012 MR and will never look back.

Also I DD and Club race, the SST trumps all. The GSR has its own issues like mushy shifting and gear lockout.

Ill take the silky Twin Clutch thank you. I think the whole GSR vs SST thing is so over rated at this point it comes down to if you really want a 5 speed or 6 speed Auto/manual/paddle shifter.

 

[trick3d]

Dont get me wrong, I love the SST, I just worry about it breaking so I havent moded at all because the only way to fix is to replace it and 12k is not in my budget.

I see you go to cars and coffee make sure to hit up Cobb for your socal needs. Ronnie and Jon will take care of you.

 

[BsigXXX]

oh ya the car will be my DD as well! haha @fullboastracing... if i just do the intake, downpipe, exhaust, tune the SST should be fine ya? I mean i dont want a lot of HP out im over and done with all that with my m3 pushing close to 500 and my vette at 550rwhp lol i just want something fun nothing scary to pin it and something comfortable hahah =P

 

[trick3d]

yeah go to Cobb and talk To Jon (tuner) about your goals. he will set you up for. He is also great at tunning the SST.

Thats why I say some people state the limit of the SST is 400-450TQ. I have tuned a few MR's that are 450-550TQ and there still running strong with no problems.

Bolt on for the SST are fine. Most people that get into trouble are the ones doing big turbo upgrades. But as mentioned I have done a few of them and there still rocking with no issues.

Hahaha do you work for Cobb or something? :whipping:
Cobb is good but there not the best. The whole HB speed conversion thing left a lot to be desired. If your down in the OC I would suggest RRE.

Also check out SoCalEvo.net for some great local reviews on shops and tuners.

 

[trick3d]

you are referencing crank numbers right? 450-550 whtq and fine?
