:lol:

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

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! :wink: 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. :lol:
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.

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.

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 :cry:
