Yardspeed/sedwards: That makes 3 of us! I traded my chrome silver 350Z Track for a white Evo! Had it for 7 months and enuff was enuff, 2 seater, no truck space. Stereo was the biggest piece of ****. I like the multi-function display, especially the tire pressure readout tho. Also the high speed stability, went 149mph and it was stable as a rock!
The Evo is fun!

I am probably going half on an RS with Wojo to use as a track-day beast and SCCA club rally monster... We have been planning our budget and I already have a white, no-options RS on order. This could get sick!!! Strip the interior, add cage, add coilovers, polycarbonate windows, etc., etc., etc.

I think the RS with the Urban Package will be a big hit, specially with the front LSD. Mitsu better stock up on those LSDs as well cause everybody and their freakin' granny with an EVO will be getting one.

Oh, and I'll buy a front LSD for my regular Evo as soon as they're available. Mitsu did something right for once.

SEWARD: Your in Austin? I live up in RR and we are getting a couple of guys to cruise around on Saturday night, kinda like a midnight run around 620, mopac, etc.
A couple of TT 350zs, evos, stis, rx7s, etc. Just cruising a big pack of supercars.

I hope that stereo system is optional.

You guys that want to put a front LSD on your Evo...do you have any idea of how much Mitsubishi charges for a factory limited-slip diff at the parts counter?
I don't actually know, but I'm guessing $1500 or more...still interested?

Anyhow, I dont care what anyone says about trhe RS. I'm ordering mine in white with no options. I plan on tracking it and dragging it...
most likely will go straight to Buschur for power mods
I will add everything else later depending on what I'm in the mood for.
I already have my 99 5-speed Civic DX Sedan as my daily driver, and it has A/C !! :-P

I still want one - $1,500 amortized over the 50 years I will own this car is pretty cheap...
