Re: 2008 AWD Battle
I had an Evo and had no problems out of it whatsoever except the clutch. Granted I bought the car used with 9k miles and the clutch started slipping only a few days after I got it. So who knows what the previous owner had done to it. So I replaced the clutch, got a good install of the clutch, and I never ever had problems with the tranny, t-case, clutch, or gears. I've had a few hefty launches but not many because I never raped the car. All in all I ran with an upgraded clutch, full TBE, and a boost controller at 21 psi and never had one issue out of her.
lol,I know evo's arent shitty cars,im just fucking with junon since apparently its the cool thing to do on VAD.actually,its been that way for years.

heh ok. Either way I had to defend my baby. Unfortunately Evos are put into the hands if inexperienced drivers and therefore result in things breaking. Granted things do break on their own, but it's usually misuse that causes it.

Re: 2008 AWD Battle
The evo clutch really isnt all that bad that some make it out to be. Those cars a very tough to launch properly, factor in shitty driving ability, it adds up to a clutch upgrade pretty quickly. I know quite a few modded evos still on the stock clutch. Now obviously they're less than 400whp.
Another main reason for a weaker clutch is to protect other things, such as transmission and/or transfer case; which is very expensive to replace.
Check out DCEvoClub.com, the local evo forum and you will be surprised at what you learn.

Re: 2008 AWD Battle
thats mostly the case with a lot of young drivers,and new cars.But then again..older cars have always known to take more of a beating,even if they are less powerful than the new editions.
