by SUB4RU on 16-10-07 03:12 PM My bro has just imported an EVO 7. He just called APC to get a quote on some mods and was quoted $6k.

by befour on 16-10-07 03:49 PM wow that is big bang for your buck. If you can handle sitting in the interior that has got a fit and finish that doesn't even come close to that of a liberty then it would be ok... I don't think there is much doubt though that the EVO's are a better performance sedan then Subaru. |

I have to admit, even though I love my Liberty, I'd much rather be driving an Evo IX :ohmy: |

by fatcat67 on 16-10-07 04:10 PM My Brother just bought an EVO9 in Canberra(living there ATM), and is loving it. His is bog standard with the luxury pack. He says it hammers, but he says mine goes a fair bit stronger than his in normal driving.

I totally agree. Just pointing out the fact how hard it is to get power of the subies without spending a packet. Gearbox + weak bottom end there's 15k you've gotta spend to hold pretty much anything over 240kw. 2jz's have run 1000hp with stock internals and the 6 speed getrag running in 8 second cars. The rb26 is fairly strong with oil issues which can be solved with a baffled sump, rb30 can handle a bit as well. |

I know a guy that has broken 2 six speed EVO boxes, but not Subaru ones. Although their 5 speeds are stronger, they're still breakable. Mate the engine is a dinosaur, cast iron, of course it'll take some power, and they use bigger turbo's standard, hence higher stock power outputs. But now, when the EVOX comes out I think the playing field will even out a bit more. |

by SD_ on 16-10-07 07:00 PM In one of those high performance dvds you see them break the gearbox of a new evo quite easily. Also getting a car to run 11's down the quarter is hard,i know someone who spent 25k on a lotus and it only runs 12's.

you cant compare that to a liberty..yeh thats sounds like a good package but wat cooler n engine management? if u put these into a sti.. i am pretty sure u can beat the evos... evos r known for their oil leaks n also not that strong gear box compare to the sti |

by SUB4RU on 17-10-07 09:21 PM I think the evo 7,8,9 are all very similar altho tuners prefer evo 9s as u can adjust the stock cams apparently. |

by B42.2 on 18-10-07 03:04 PM If you break anything in an evo, you are up for big dollars.... more than subies.
