it all start when i first join zth as an innocent youngster that watch too much initial d and fast and furious
always think of making own car faster, my first car was a proton wira passed down from my brother, riced up outlook, then i start to spend $$ on illegal mod on the car, like a terbalik engine and 4wd
Pro: powerful car to drive
Con: poor handling and stability(easily understeer),you cant change what it is designed for,especially i did not do special mod on the chassis, poor comfort, poor fuel efficiency

due to reckless driving, totalled the wira, heart broken, feels like wanna retire mod car
, moved to a civic eg 4 door manual stock d16 sohc, at the beginning , just think of drive it stock (most of car guy mind, "i will keep it stock") ....at the end, still start with a b16a, then turbo, in the end ,in abt 2 years time before i let go it, most B series engine combination had already been going into the engine bay
Pro: decent power and handling, mostly use it on drag, and on this car i start to learn not only to spend money,but due to my mechanic weird attitude (he force me to diy if i wanna built the car faster to get out of garage),i learn basics to built engine, under carriage,hands on trainning
Cons: this car really mean to have balance between power and handling,when too much power,handling fully screwed up and become straight line car only, decent high speed stability since i do not do any aero on it so high speed above is 140 on winding road i feel my ball start getting smaller
parts for honda are really expensive than other brand, block is not "bullet proof" like 4g63 (last incident is i crack my block on a b16a non vtec turbo,then i move to b18c gsr,put in nitrous before sell it though
) last but not least fuel efficiency consider better a bit than the previous wira

Then,after the civic, luckily that i meet my friend who wanna let go his evo, and he accept trade in my civic (got another of his friend want buy my civic through him),and got friendly installment from him
,so i trade it for his car and drive till now, along the way work my ass out to rebuilt,mod it, and dont forget to pay the debt,after 2 years it finally officially mine, keep it till now
Pro: good handling and ride, good reliability and basic 4wd to take care, highest power car i had driven so far start with the wira, light weight chassis but with good control of the massive power
Cons: decent fuel economy(city driving heavy jam ,hot weather all the way full tank last 300km or even less), less comfort and not suitable for daily driven (because owner keep heavy mod
) for a 20 years plus car, lots of wear and tear need to take care of.

after 2 years finished paying off the debt, and another friend is letting go his evo 10 which is the first real evo i had ever touch since i first drive the wira back in 2008, after few sleepless night of thinking(i am a lancer evo enthusiast btw), i decided to make myself suffer more to get it , "debting" myself again after i finally debt free for a moment with the bank and get it
Pro: Power,handling,high speed stability, comfort are all found in this car, TC-SST also made the car suitable to put all the power in use while retain daily driven ability,new S-AWC make the car very easy to drive since mostly are computer taking car of it,even a noob can drive well in corner
Cons: extra maintenance as compare to the evo 3, new technology,a lot of extra stuffs need extra care,TC-SST alone consume more than 1k for the service, and due to TC-SST power level needed to be controlled,much heavier body so acceleration and corner exit speed or acceleration is totally different compared to e3, fuel economy is not an option here especially jam city driving with hot weather, and not forget the debt i carry for the next few years
