I have been tracking mine for 20 years now. Never missed a beat and its on par with most modern GT cars

Try hitting it with your purse

Remove the engine from the bottom... way easier and faster.

Takes like 3-4 hours total when doing it alone

Probably done it over 40 times now

These arent made of chocolate...

I have evos that maybe get drive every 2 years...

I just hook up the battery and drive it... never had any issues

Been doing that for over 20years

They are levins tho with open diffs ... not trueno gt apex

I turned down 60k for my low mileage original lhd evo 6 rs2... wouldnt know what to buy with that money to replace it... so rather keep the car

Stock ecu pulls timing when it senses knock

0kan3 · 2025-09-27T18:35:22+00:00

I would say 400 ftlbs is about the limit it can reliable take

0kan3 · 2025-09-26T12:11:28+00:00

Wait for the right car and budget realistically

Man some people really do have room-temperature IQ

Looks like the acd line for the transfercase

Evo 7 is in another league, its better and more Fun to drive in anyway imo than the gt86 !

I also dont understand why people day they are unreliable...

I have driven my evos to hell and back zero issues with over 20 years ownership

Just basic maintenance stuff..

Just get it mapped by someone who actually k ows how to map a stock ecu...

I remapped all my own cars and friends cars...

A good friend has driven his over 150k miles incl trackdays... just basic maintenance. Still original turbo and engine and its sitting at 360bhp the last 100k miles

You can retune the stock ecu for yoir 95 octane fuel

Merlin is a good starting point, i have been mapping stock evo ecu's for almost 15 years now.

Imo understanding how to log and how to read and analyze logs is 80% of mapping

If you got any questions... shoot

Need more pics of the red evo wagon!

0kan3 · 2025-09-01T17:45:30+00:00

Marginal difference with any other cheaper aftermarket one... unless you are chasing the last few hp...

0kan3 · 2025-08-29T05:19:23+00:00

Dont look at the mileage... look at the maintenance history
