8 vs 9 help
I'm new to the forums and joined because I was told they are a good place to find used cars, I'm looking at an evo 8 or a 9, and know that mivec and the turbo is the biggest difference, is there anything that could push me more towards one vs the other? I want something mostly for the weekends so I don't care about economy or stiffness in the suspension

Besides what you have mentioned, The Evo IX came with 10 more horsepower from the factory (285). The steering wheel's 3 alloy 'spokes' are now black, The seating material on the IX has been updated, no more blue inserts. And of course the front bumper...

They're the same car except for MIVEC (variable intake valve timing), and the 2005 8 has ACD like the 9.

Thanks for the help everybody. I prefer the 9 looks wise, but all I find is the Mr, and I want the 5 speed. I just wasn't sure if mivec and the ACD is worth it at higher power levels
