So, well since I will most likely be doing a turbo upgrade, the engine portion doesn not matter....and the MIVEC is not going to be a deciding factor since I can still make plenty of power on the non-MIVEC engines.
I plan to use this car mainly for auto-x/road race so the handling features really are most important. Now the question is should I get an 03-04 EVO and just upgrade the front LSD myself, or get an 05 which comes with a front LSD and ACD. Can anyone give some feedback on the differences between an stock 05 evo VS an 03 EVO with upgraded front LSD?
Also, I have read the FAQ on ACD, and I understand how it works, but is it really neccessary on the track?
Do most guys even with 05's upgrade all three LSDs for track, or are the stock units fine? I know the rear is a true 1.5 way clutch type, so it should be fine. But what about the other two? How is the durability on these?
