I stopped DDing mine...IMO it's stupid to DD an evo its not comfortable sure you can have a little fun some times but with the traffic involved most of the time all i was doing was spending hordes of money on gas and putting wear and tear on the car.
Now the wear and tear only comes from the track and other "fun times"
with a 95 civic eg as my DD i can park it anywhere with out worrying about dents and dings ..I see speed bumps and if anything I speed up. It saves on gas and most of all insurance (insurance drops once you set the evo as a weekend car)

I DD my III. With a straight back bride seat, 5 point harness and 2 way rear different. I don't mind. Right I'd a little harsh, but I have ridden in worse that were not nearly as fun.

I DD mine, QM Twin, lowered full tilt(well sort of, I quit tuning at 454tq) all day every day. It would see 30psi nearly every drive. I've even been driving it up in MN for the past couple weeks with winter knocking on the door.

Why would you not DD your evo? If you are looking for a track only car l, could not the same performance be found in a dsm at a fraction of the cost? Track time is about performance, regardless of appearance (in my personal opinion). I am not trying to provoke anyone, I simply don't understand. It seem difficult to know your car if you drive it once a month.

I understand that the mods might be worth more than the frame,but the overall cost would still be less than starting with an expensive platform. I don't know that the track venue matter as the result is the same, simply different ways and styles to get there. I get that a dedicated track car allows for it to break and not leave you looking for a ride to work. Outside of that, the cost factor doesn't make Denver to me. What am I missing?
