From my experience, I think I felt more difference due to the front LSD than the ACD. Did they add the LSD in 05 or 06 models? Can't remember anymore.

If the 05's had the LSD and ACD, then then only significant difference left over would be the MIVEC.

 

yea basically

 

Right on! I'm sitting at 24k miles rite now and am averaging 10k miles per year. I figure at this rate I can keep my Evo for 10 years an still have only 100k miles it. Long Live the 9!!!!

 

nice - it used to be my daily and i drove it around soo much - sometimes 600 miles a week. 45k now =/ but I've completely stopped driving it

 

love my car

 

Bought a 2000 Civic last year so I could stop driving the Evo IX. 29k miles and she was bought August 10, 2006. Manufactured June 06, sticker says so. Going on 4 years now...gotta make a cake for her birthday...hahahahaha

 

That's the reason I picked up a '98 M3.

My IX is definitely a keeper

 

I bought mines brand new June 1st, 2007. It was a left over and one of the last new Evo 9's for sale, so that helps contribute to my low mileage

 

Bought mine new 3 years ago and keeping it forever as well. Bought an S2k last month to keep the miles off the Evo.

IX FTMFW

 

I would say the 2004 RS would be the best "raw Evo" it has a front LSD, no ABS, no ACD, etc, etc....non of that MIVEC, just raw motor and drivetrain.

 

After reading the article and watching this video on youtube , I'm keeping mine for as long as i can. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJJHeQhip0s Video is about 24 min. long ,but very good

 

Bought mine at the end of 05 and still have under 10k on it

 

nice vid! i thought the evo ix rs doesn't have ayc?

 

"and applied various modifications to create the UK-specific FQ cars; what the initials signify is best left to your scatological imagination."

 

if i had the money for a lambo... id buy a different colored evo ix for each day of the week!
i just bought a IX and am thinking of saving for an other to put away for the future before moding. nothing like an EVO IX
