Lol it's manageable for me, but let's say it's over $400 a month. I brought home almost $26k in 6 months time (my fiance makes a little more than me) so between both our incomes we have plenty to cover the Evo and the WRX, mortgage, etc. The interest rate is a little high due to my credit being not as nice as it should be, but I'm going to refinance through the federal credit union at work for a much much lower interest rate. That in itself should cut the payment down about 40%.
Thanks man. Honestly I haven't really gotten on the car hard, and I've only had it up to about 85 on the highway. For me it's just a cruiser/daily driver for now, and at most I might get a dp and exhaust for it and keep it that way for a while.
Haha...good try Dan

want me advice? too bad...

don't put exhaust on it, make it extremely loud and gay...

Yeah, if I did one it'd have to be quiet. The stock (I think anyway, closer inspection doesn't look quite like stock at the muffler) one on the car has a very nice deep quiet tone to it, I'd like to keep it close to that. Really I just want the extra flow from an aftermarket exhaust, that and a DP should help it breathe alot better. Loud annoying raspy sound can suck my *****. :P

There is something to be said for a good quality resonator + good quality muffler.

Any of the companies that make an exhaust for the evo, and offer the cheap Buller muffler, have all sounded loud and shitty. My friend actually had that on there, and he switched it out for a magnaflow, and it was a world of a difference.

I hangout with alot of EVO guys (I've got a EVO1 myself) and their cars dont have problems?
Theres something in the clutch line that makes the clutch engage slower than it should. Its like a restricter of some kind, made for daily driving but when you do fast shifts it hurts the clutch because it makes the clutch slip for just a little bit ....that is why alot of EVOs wear through clutch disks fast. Take that little restricter out and the engagement will be faster ....It's a MUST DO, and you'll wear out less clutches without it

DSM's and Evo's both have that. We removed it from my friends EVO immediately. His clutch still burnt out by 5k miles.

That's some good info right there, I haven't found too much yet on this car and I can't really find any big Evo forums to research on. :P I have noticed it's a pretty slow shift, but I haven't tried to push it just for the fact I don't want to break the clutch even though I'm sure it's been replaced already.
