I dont post much, but damn!!!!

Guys in the US complained for 8 years+ because Mitsubishi didn't bring the "rough and tough" Evo to the States. Now they did and people complain about everything. I also came from a BMW M3. The Evo is no M3 but its such an awesome car I can give up its short comings (it has a lot of them) for its raw performance.

Stop *****ing or else Nissian won't bring the Skyline.

Just a thought....in the last episode of Top Gear here in the US, they drove a twin turbo Audi A8 diesel 800 miles and found out that using cruise control wasted more gas. Personally, I never use cruise control in my other car even when driving from SoCal to Phoenix. Trying to maintain the same speed for a long time helps keep me awake.

Every other car that's ever been in my possession has had the option, the Evo is my only exception. Either way I rarely use it, and I go on many road trips.

That said, cruise is a little overrated.

Keepin' the tach in the middle with both...

Not sure if thats the exact part #, but thats the one i have. was like 180 bucks total. definatly worth it, despite the complaints of people without it.

no, the lancer stuff won't convert, the controls won't fit on our wheel.


and exactly, i'll be sitting there doing 78 in a 70 and i'll look down and i'll be sittin on 90-95. Simply too easy to gain speed. With the cruise, other than mountains as before mentioned, you can keep a same pace.

there is NOTHING more annoying than driving a car on a road trip and passing a person, then them passing you back and getting in front of you and slowing down, then you passing them again...etc.etc.etc.
