Evo cuz it handles better/sharper, and looks better as well.
Which price cheaper? Compare with evo 7 and Subaru v8?
Me now budget not much.

Go with your heart, not other telling u what to buy n what not to... U dun c ppl driving alfa sell their car often, this is bcos they love their car... sorry for alfa guys but u understand what i mean... U can't blame other if u bought the wrong car, but if u love the car u never regret.

Do research on your own, n survey, test drive, till u made up your mind. Just like being poison with audio system, u never look back.

(Very obvious i'm on which side):proud::proud::proud: :thefinger:

I think similar prices, cheapest around 85-90K but don't know the condition. You can just check in mudah.my

Difficult to get unmodified car for these type of cars, especially since they're already old.

To the contrary IMHO both Evo & WRX STI are comparable since both cars are in the same market: similar price range when new, both AWD 4cyl. turbo cars used as the base for rallying, both about the same size/class, both has similar features.

stock to stock, subaru sti posts inferior track times against evo. modified, the one with more money wins -- STi costs more to modify, EVO cheaper to modify. if you have 10k to mod, EVO probably do better, if you have 50k to mod, you can pick either car.

its that simple. seriously. why complicate things.

Meh, lebih kurang je...just pick which one looks best to you. Settle.

Unless you are joining some rally event or something, then there's a lot more to consider.




Tho, I doubt that....

Easy, if you want to keep it stock get subaru but if the other way aroud better evo unless you are deep pocket. Take camshaft as for example, evo would be around 1.5k to 2.5k. Subaru on the other hand more than 3.5k above.
4g63 also one of the toughest engine for mod bro. Try to stroke up EJ and see how.

Dear all sifus,

I've changed my coil packs & plug but problem stills persist. There's a brief moment where the check engine light blinking[knocking?] when i start the car but i shut down the car 1min later and it doesnt lit up anymore when i start the car up again 30mins later.

On the other hand, the ignitor will caused misfiring if it's not tighten with a zip ties.

Could be the ignitor or the stock AFM? That caused the rough idling?

Thanks in advance.
