^^^ tell him Dr.Sound like it is.!!!
BTW i'd get evo any day over any car on the market right now if i had the cash. and once i do , be sure that's the car i'll be driving.
Looks waaay better hten sti imo(although its subjective)
reliability i'd say about even, cause both of those models were on JDM for a while, and proved to be reliable performace machines the only diff in japan sti has a 2.0 , here they came with 2.5. its just evo is more agile, lighter and 19 LB of boost ....good god, i love that....
evo.....evo....evo......(day dreaming ....dont wanna wake up!)

the evo peaks at 19psi but drops off towards redline..some evo onwers get a fdynoflash or mbc and keep it at 19psi all the time...the stock evo motor can handle well over 400whp with out internals check out the new evo shoot out in i think it was sport compact or another mag?...the sti motor has had major issues when modifications, its a new model and has had its fair share of snags......i think 1st mp3 in nh posted a topic him and some sti owners were tlakin about that the sti is relaly hard to work on modification wise and is with us msp owners in that respect. and you have to understand that mistu has evolved the 4g63 over more then a decade and its nothing like the dsm's of old......the tranny included 
if u havent noticed...i plan to get a evo in a couple years....or a tt g35....hehe

LOL.... geeks... "yea... u know the rb26329-a4rge has it's advantages, but i'd take the jblr4521-a36 anyday!" haha... jk. So can anyone explain why Mazda would go with such a messed up ECU for thier RENESIS? Like I guess I can understand that they did it to get the engine to perform the way they wanted with the car, but didn't they ever think ahead to turbo applications for the engine? Or is it maybe they engineered it that way so ppl would have a hard time crackin into it... This way, maybe they could turn out the only turbo version of the RENESIS on thier mazdaspeed version... and ppl would have no choice but to go with buying a mazdaspeed RX-8 just to have it turbo'ed... I dunno... what do u guys think?
they thought of truboeing the RX-8, but rotary with turbo proved to have poor reliability record so they gave it up. Mazdaspeed RX-8 is not going to be sold in US. only the mazdaspeed kit will be sold.....separetely from the car, and turbo is NOT included.MidnightDreamer said:

wow... that's kind of a turn off... not so hyped about that car anymore...
So in terms of getting some reliable power increase from that engine, would it still be possible to go the N/A route and still have some substantial gains? The only thing I really don't like about the rx8 is that it's engine seems a bit weak, and that mazda's not making it easy to bring any more power out of it because of reliability issues and whatnot. For most modders, I would think that reliability is a concern, and if they can't reliably bring more power out of an engine it'd be kind of a turnoff right? anyone agree?

Oh, and though the EVO really has grown on me, I'd still hafta go for the STI - after driving both first of course...who knows, maybe I'd like the way the EVO feels better...ah well, who cares - I'm not seeing either one of those in my driveway anytime soon.
