  1. I switched from GRC to FL5, here are my notes

    Ik I should do my own forum searching instead of being lazy and asking but is there a pipe or connector that can be pulled/removed to stop it??
  2. I switched from GRC to FL5, here are my notes

    The clutch is very soft. I am at almost 4500 miles , and it is the softest cluch I have experienced In any manual transmission performance car....and I have had many. I am thinking about the CTR but the Honda dealers in my state CT are historically bastards.
  3. I switched from GRC to FL5, here are my notes

    If it was an EV they would of made it sound like a Rolls Royce. Every magazine has a little bit of hatred towards ICE vehicles lately.
  4. I switched from GRC to FL5, here are my notes

    I feel like the CTR is so big, it's almost a full size sedan with a liftgate at this point. I like the small size of the GRC. Thats why i was thinking BRZ/86 as a run around replacement. I have no kids, and no need for a car that is big. I have a 2011 Ranger that was my Nonno's I can use...
  5. I switched from GRC to FL5, here are my notes

    Are both cars DD for you? How is the sound system/interior quality in comparison. Is the engine as good/fun to rev through the power range/get into full boost. I have heard that the sound becomes pretty annoying they pump into the interior, I don't spend alot of time on this forum but I am...
  6. I switched from GRC to FL5, here are my notes

    Yup it really was. I still have my GRC. Some things are starting to annoy me a little bit. The clutch is for sure one of the softest I have ever had on a performance car. The things paint is very poor - almost Subaru quality levels. I don't tailgate and have rock chips forming already. The sound...
  7. Rchive- An FL5 ownership journal

    too many contradictions. 20 years on the evom forum so you have first hand experience seeing 75% of X owners going back to the IX or wishing they could. X values are roughly half of clean IX one btw, so regardless if they have SAYC or not they ARE the best evo they ever sold here. Myself and...
  8. Anyone own a stock 04-07 STI or 03-06 EVO with the CTR? Any similarities ?

    I called them a few years ago and they said they’re all gone. Who knows if it’s true or not. If I knew someone local I could send them on a spy mission in person to figure it out. I’m sure they get calls from strokers asking about them all the time. I’m willing to budget over 6 figures for both cars
  9. Anyone own a stock 04-07 STI or 03-06 EVO with the CTR? Any similarities ?

    if someone had a 05 sti and 06 evo stashed away stock in a collection with close to delivery mileage on it at this point I’d go buy those and just keep DD my Corolla GR because I’m so sick of the electronic shit. I had my first annoyance , in the snow, in my GRC when realizing that when you turn...

    So if you value handling so much why buy a golf R? And the GRC has close to zero understeer and drives pretty damn similar to the old evos in my opinion and far better than the X did. I have spent hours driving evo 10s….and enough time in the IX to know I’d rather have the old car but to each...
  11. Anyone own a stock 04-07 STI or 03-06 EVO with the CTR? Any similarities ?

    MOTORTREND figure 8 testing: FL5: 24.50 IX MR:25.00 06 STI: 25.50 How much of that is tires? Would Sport cup 2 tires make a difference? would it give the EVO or STI the edge over the FL5
  12. Anyone own a stock 04-07 STI or 03-06 EVO with the CTR? Any similarities ?

    Heres some old magazine #s i got offline for a 2006 STI - no 2005 #s could be found 5 - 60 mph 6.4 s 0 - 30 mph 1.2 s 0 - 40 mph 2.2 s 0 - 50 mph 3.1 s 0 - 60 mph 4.5 s 0 - 70 mph 5.7 s 0 - 80 mph 7.6 s 0 - 90 mph 9.5 s 0 - 100 mph 12.1 s 0 - 130 mph 24.1 s 1/4 mile 13.0...
  13. Anyone own a stock 04-07 STI or 03-06 EVO with the CTR? Any similarities ?

    Maybe I can find the data its somewhere on my comp from when I scanned it. My 05 was bone stock, nothing but sport cup tires on it. It was a 60k mile car that was rarely really well taken care of. Stock intake, exhaust, ECU, all original. What year was your STI? My stock 07 with that emissions...
  14. Anyone own a stock 04-07 STI or 03-06 EVO with the CTR? Any similarities ?

    I never felt like the GD steering was that slow. I drove my 16 and 05 back to back and found that the GD steering, while a hair slower, felt more connected and communicative to the road. It had more feel than the 16 did, and never once was the steering speed an issue or something I ever thought...
  15. Anyone own a stock 04-07 STI or 03-06 EVO with the CTR? Any similarities ?

    That’s what I was looking to hear. I always wanted to buy one but they were always snotted local to me. Now if I could just find a Time Machine! Does your IX MR have the zero lift kit? is your CTR a fk8 or fl? Also if you could only have one which are you keeping and WHY? Thanks
  16. Anyone own a stock 04-07 STI or 03-06 EVO with the CTR? Any similarities ?

    have been tempted to try a GR86 as a DD. I always said if a modern 240SX equivalent was made I’d buy one.
  17. Anyone own a stock 04-07 STI or 03-06 EVO with the CTR? Any similarities ?

    I had a 2016 STI I got new in 2015 , I kept it for a DD for 4.5 years because the deal I got was incredible . From my experience all I could think about was how much more I like the GD car in stock configuration. I really didn’t have much to nitpick about the GD while the VA I had a list of...
  18. Anyone own a stock 04-07 STI or 03-06 EVO with the CTR? Any similarities ?

    If someone offered you a bone stock evo 9 SE with original paint, low miles, for your CTR (assuming the CTR was not your only car and you had a daily ) would you take it over the Honda?
  19. I switched from GRC to FL5, here are my notes

    Also my GRCs door handles might be the cheapest I’ve had in any car outside of my old GTI & Scirocco 16V which are too old to even complain about
  20. I switched from GRC to FL5, here are my notes

    I remember PRE from IWSTI if my memory serves me correctly. I traded down for a white one and haven’t regretted it at all. The JBL sound system in the loaded core wasn’t all that great, I never use heated steering wheel or seats, so I just didn’t care all that much. I knew for my cars purpose...
