^ proofreading FTW...
I whooped up on a stock evo 9 mr pretty badly with just intake/catback and only running 7psi (10psi is stock for an fd)..
The other thing your not realizing is, my friend with the mr payed what? upper 30s for his? I payed 13.5k and still handed him his ***... if i put 15k into my car to match what he payed for his... haha well i dont have to explain that..

Actually, we all know alot about you just from this thread. First of all, we know you bought the wrong car. We also know that you are starting to realize that you bought the wrong car.
You spent too much money on too little car and now you can't figure out why your world is upside down. A car that is atleast 12 years older that yours disappeared before your eyes while he left you sitting back there trying to spin your four silly tires. If it were a porsche, ferrari, or even a M series you wouldnt even have gone online about it, but when its a car with a 1.3 liter engine you just had to try and fine some way to redeem yourself.
Its ok, your going to be fine, you dont even have to reply to this. Just sit back in your house and wait for the next major snow storm, then smile and say "**** those RX7 guys" .

LOL. A car that is 12 years older?....Hmm, how old is the 4G63?
So a singled RX7 beat an AWD on the high end on the freeway? *yawn*
I would hope so....
You're comparing displacement on a rotary vs. a cylinder engine? LOL...
I'll give you time to figure that one out on your own. (hint: ~2.6L > 2.0)
BTW, if you read his initial post, he was giving the FD props and wanted to track the owner down- that was the purpose of the thread. Get your head out of your *** before you assume things and come off as a complete idiot.
...I dont want to get into the whole EVO vs. RX7 debate, but frankly, they each have their strengths/weaknesses....some of you guys need to make sense though.

I am talking stock vs stock, or modified vs modified. They really handle that well. Although I think an RX-8 (although very underpowered) handles even better.
C-west evo you have a nice, reliable car, and it's new.
Congratulations and enjoy it. I am glad you appreciated an FD on the highway.
I personally wouldn't mind having a modified Evo as a daily driver to beat on. It's reasonably good looking, reliable, has room for others, and has a trunk. With AWD, Turbo and some reasonable power - it's definately a "sporty" car.
My tuner has recently tuned a pretty amazing Evo down here that beat down on an 8 Second Camaro on the highway since the tuning.
Don't worry about the guys here. I think they are ******* with you on purpose just to see you squirm. Some of them have never driven anything else but their 7's, and can't appreciate 'other' cars in general.

As far as that comment goes, I have to say you are very wrong. A properly running FD will walk all over an EVO in any canyon runs (unless its slippery).

I knew about that already. But, how many poeple have done that? Those arabs have nothing else better to with their money and time.
I know of 5 or more people that have fd's w/ls swaps on the evo forums and there are alot of shops that offer this swap. HMMM... I wonder why mazda stoped producing fd's after 3 years(93'-95') and Mitsubishi is coming out with the 3rd gen of an evo(03'- AND BEYOND). Mitsu must be doing something right!
. All in all, the evo is a better car hands down. It's cheaper to make fast and is still very reliable. Fd's on the other hand, are not reliable and are expesive to make faster.
I think the only reason why mazda stopped producing the fd's(in the u.s.) is because they we're not reliable, keeped over heating and wouldn't last over 100k miles. Japan however, kept the spirit r longer only bcuz the car owners out there only keep their cars for like... 40 to 60k miles.
These r the things that I thought about before I was considering buying an fd. I bought the evo for the reasons i stated ^ and then some. These facts r pretty true and if u don't believe it then u r in denile. However, I still like the fd(no matter what u guys say) and it is a sick car(when u invest a lot $). Anyways, I'm not trying to start any e-beef w/anybody but when u talk **** to me, expect me to talk it back. Peace!

"talk ****"
thats funny, but on to other things. i actually helped a friend of mine install parts on his evo 8 yesterday. (intake, boost controler, boost gauge, catback) and sure its fun but you gotta take it for what it is. Have you ever driven a properly running FD? if you have you would know there is no way it would take a 7 in the twistys. not saying your car is bad, its just there on a different level in terms of performance. and no, other than an LS1,7 no other car takes to mods like an FD. to prove my point about the twistys, heres a track video in the rain. Yes they can drive.

I seen that a while back. I crashed in my 03' evo in the rain but I had bald tires at the time(like a dumbass) and loss control on the fwy and got hit by 2 cars. A few weeks ago i almost did the same thing again(in the rain) but this time I stepped on the gas and gained control instead of pushing the brakes and losing control.

U guys probably saw this on tv. But I thought I'd post this to prove that evo's can keep up with exotics or beat them.

Here's one of my buddy from vegas on the stock bottom end on his evo:

He is an evo banging on a 360 modena on the stock turbo+mods of course.

evos are nice, just over-rated.
if evo's are the new benchmark of sports cars (beating all these 100+k cars) then i dont know why would anyone get anything else, for a little over 30k you can own a benchmark!
i'd get a subbie to daily and keep my rx7 for the weekends if i came down to that rich. i just like stars more than diamonds.

Anyone find it awkward that he was bashing soo hard on the rotary? If you maintain ANY engine it'll last, so don't bring that bullshit here.
Any who, I myself love EVO's, and I'd probably buy one in a couple years (when I'm out of college) but I live in Canada.

There are many folks on here that have racked up milage on highly modded FD's including myself with 35K miles on a heavily modded FD. You mainly hear from the crying kids that buy a piece of **** 15 year old car, bolt a single turbo on it, blow it up and claim the rotary is a pieve of ****.
You seem so caught up in the EVO being cheap to mod. A junkyard Pinto with a big block is much cheaper and faster than an EVO or FD but I think we'd both agree we won't want it.
