    i've always been an Evo fan because i think they look meaner, but from what i've heard, the STi is a much more refined car...

    I would say the contrary. Every test I've seen on the two side by side says that the Evo was the refined one and the STI was more "in your face" so-to-speak. One quote form a recent comparison said that the EVO was easier to drive hard but, the STI seemed to be more spirited to drive.

        I would probably have to say go with the evo they look better and as performance they are close to the same

        2003 Mitsubishi Evolution VIII W/ stage 2 slowboyracing short block. Eagle H-Beam Chrome Moly Rods, Ross Racing Forged 8.5:1 Pistons, Clevite 77 Rod Bearings, Clevite 77 Main Bearings, ARP Rod Bolts. everything else pretty much stock. near future GT35R turbo kit

        AKA cleanest Evo in town

            2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The car currently has a hair over 23k miles on the vehicle. The color is Rally Red. The only option this car has is the power sunroof option. This Lancer is also equipped with a 3M clear bra on the front nose Now on to the modification list

            • HKS 264 Cams
            • Pruven Front Mount Intercooler kit w/ Polished hard pipes
            • Unorthodox Cam Gears
            • 3" Turbo back Exhaust
            • Apex'i Super AFC II (untuned, zero'd out)
            • Drycell Lightweight Battery
            • Cone Filter Induction

            Now the bad-
            -The rear left tail light is developing condensation from crack (will replace tail light before sale)
            -The left a-pillar panel will need to be change because of holes drilled for tripe gauge pod which was removed from previous owner. (has three holes in it, but panel can be purchased and replaced)

            • The dimmer switch went bad on the vehicle so the instrument panel is not adjustable at the moment.
            • Wheels do have some curb rash
            • Check engine light on (most likely from Downpipe)
            • No original trunk mat and missing a few panels in the trunk from previous owner
            • Clutch will probably not last too long with these mods on there.
            • Windshield has a small a chip (may or may not pass MD state inspection depending on who you take it to)

            The sale of this vehicle includes the stock cam gears, stock camshafts, air box, and stock injectors

            The VIN Code: JA3AH86FX3U085948
            The price is set at $18k/obo

            Car located in Reisterstown, MD

                                        Go drive both of them, if you can. See which one you like better. Everyone is going to tell you different shit about each.

                                          the to me the big thing is drivetrain bias. subie's are RWD biased, and like zac said, the engine is in there the right way. Evos are FWD biased, and the STI has a WAY stronger clutch and trans. the tranny is the main reason mitsu got so uptight on their warranty with the evos. It would be SOOOOOO gay to have to spend $2K+ on a trans upgrade after you just laid down $20g's on the car.
