Right story goes, i'm waiting for a STi Type R to come in from Japan, but yesterday threw a spanner in the works! I've driven a few Evos to date and while they are fast and handle well they just don't have the appeal of the Scoobie. That was until I drove a Lightweight Evo 5 RS yesterday! the thing just blew me away :shock: the difference between it and other Evos is huge. The noise it makes with no soundproofing and the way it felt on the road makes you fell like you're in a pukka rally car!. So now I find myself wanting it, either that or a STi RA lightweight if I can find one to try out!..................................Pleeeeze help! am I just being impatient or is driving the comfy Civic got my senses screwed up! :wall:
 
Think you might be asking the wrong people here... :D Have you tried asking the Irish Evo Drivers Club Members what they think? :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
U seen the price of a eve 5? Also means ur scooby is on its why u dont have much of a choice intill u get it. Wait till u drive it then make ur desision.

:lol if i went to that club and asked the question they'd probably send me here!! Have to say the Type R looks and sounds better!
 
:computer: everything from 1.3 lancers up in there! Don't think i'll want to attend those meets! :subaru:
 
dont do it timo.ur gonna love that type r when she comes.
 
your senses are being tickled by the dark side. Dont give in to them...wait for the type R.

DCCD, close ratio box, flat 4 burble....no contest.
 
the evos are nice cars but ginger snap biscuts are nice...hold on for your scooby.... :subaru:
 
Hello Timo,

If you are looking for the "rally" experience, try out a spec-C scooby. As with the Evo there is no sound proofing and has a very stiff suspension set up. The spec-C is the car they use for group n homoligation in rallying. Be prepared for no comfort's such a electric windows, air con etc. The car is also a lightweight model up to 120kgs lighter than a standard STI.

This should be an equal to the Evo RS..... :thumbsup:

Thanks,

Michael

PS Both Dave Leggy and I have one.... :subaru:
 
You would soon get sick of the niose and the stiffness of the evo 5, also the evo's seem to give more trouble, the brother has a evo7 RS2 lightweight and although it's a great car I wouldn't give up my STI MY03 for it, he's spent nearly four grand on it this year just keeping it on the road, but then he wouldn't give it up for a subaru of any kind, different focks different strocks. He's a member of www.irishmoc.org.
 
your mad get the type r i know!! i have a type r sti and i have driven a few evos and they simply dont compare.
 
the adjustable diff is only a gimmik.a mate has a seven and cant stand it.
