probably nothing much. I mean traffic alone will annoy anyone with a manual setup...

if you gonna boost only thing I think would be an issue would be fuel

thanks,, i accustommed to the traffic and i know some backroads...

I don't have any new model Evo.. But I use my car sometimes everyday from south to central ..and other runnings.. no problems.. (evo 3) just make sure and do regular service.. the car was made to use jus like any other car...( with a lil more HP! Lol..)

Preventative maintenance is KING. Stick to regular schedule. Evos are usually very reliable.
Daily driver use is no problem... just buy shares in a gas station.

BTW IMHO a 4wd Evo/Subbie is NOT a good "jump-in-and-drive hard" option.
Take time to learn the handling first or you will CRASH.
4wd Evo is like a FWD car on steroids... It will put you in DEEP sh!t VERY quickly.
Talk to TREX. Even after years of Solodex in FWD, he said it took almost a year to get fully comfortable with handling.

When you say it burns a lot of gas, how much km's do you get from a tank? ($120)

transporter001,people told me u get like 250-300km on a full tank at best.

Sanctifier,any maintenance schdule u could recommend i dont know much about maintaining evos and when.

I get 180-200 on $100 premium in my TME. Mine is not stock, neither is it a daily driver.....with that said my 2.7 Gas Hilux get about 400 on $200.

If you have no problem with Traffic and a Clutch..then go for it. I drove mine daily for a while...then that daily driving novelty wore out.

Never checked... BUT from the Gas Station opposite Ellerslie Plaza in Maraval - to - Licencing Office in San Fernando - to - Four Roads, Diego Martin - to - Mausica - To Gas Station in Maraval... $90.00 in Premium ... shall we say with some "spirited driving?"

thanks Sanctifier,

you plannin to keep your car stock?
like with the stock clutch?
if its the stock clutch... then traffic shouldnt be all that bad...
considering you comin from east to west every day then back.

but in time when you do decide to change it... buy sports balm or icy hot in equal proportion, cuz yuh left foot gonna be killin yuh! esp with that tripple disc copper

hmph, U BIG IN D DANCE BRO one more evo for me 2 gape at on the roads lol

Sanctifier, u does REALL DRIVE JED !!!

southside crew, do u plan on selling your evo 3 anytime soon..plus which one is yours? u have any pics..u know how long i wanted a evo3..if u have any pics email me some nah plz...or post it which ever u want...and well if u plan on ever selling it.>PM me a price plz..dont worry we cud keep it private

and well honestly i live central and go to school in port of spain..and i had a 4 PUCK ACT Full copper UNSPRUNG clutch and somehow i dont know..i didnt find traffic use 2 bother me nah..somehow i doh find a clutch all that with traffic and my clutch was "stiff" according to some ppl.but i started off driving manual with the ACT copper clutch so i guess i jus got use 2 it..and not 2 a stock clutch to feel the pain..

yeah good for daily driver and buyoing groceries etc. Can also fit a cooler nicely in the trunk.

Don't monkey too much with it and it won't monkey too much with you.
