| i just wanted to ask the more knowledgeable people out there if the a-tune for the evo5 is okay. is there a better tune? what parts should i get after the basic tune? thanks a lot. |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Nov 10 2004, 10:16 PM |
| CF hood |
| Posted by: wowbagger Nov 10 2004, 10:17 PM | ||
thats all there is after the basic tune? |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Nov 10 2004, 10:21 PM |
| iono...thats the only one i kno for sure |
| Posted by: wowbagger Nov 10 2004, 10:23 PM |
| ah ok. thanks a lot. just one more thing - so the a-tune is the best tune for the evo5? |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Nov 10 2004, 10:25 PM |
| i believe so |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Nov 10 2004, 10:59 PM |
| ive had a-tune with cf hood for a while. i like it. |
| Posted by: seth Nov 11 2004, 09:57 AM |
| yea mine is option A with CF hood. Full tuned |
| Posted by: wowbagger Nov 13 2004, 10:22 PM |
| is the CF hood the only part i should add after the basic tune? thanks. |

| slightly off-topic... there are two different shift points for the evo 5 posted in the stickied thread: 5800, 6100, 7000 and 6k, 6.5k, 7k... which one is the correct one? |
| Posted by: wowbagger Nov 13 2004, 10:55 PM |
| the dooboo version |
| Posted by: PD.TF Nov 15 2004, 09:39 PM |
| i dunno if this makes ne since for the next cupl questions but here i go all pertainin to Evo III 1. wat parts shud i buy after III performance making wise 2. wat techniques shud i use 3. is there any better shift points than the ones pinned? 4. does mfs help me correct mistakes i.e. start up after spinnin out or crashing 5.courses i shud stay away from |
| Posted by: curse Nov 15 2004, 09:49 PM |
| go look back in the forums theres alot of evo 3 posts you probably didn;t search rite |
| Posted by: Krayzey f00L Nov 15 2004, 10:00 PM |
| usually u wanna take the shift points and use em as a base... i changed my 1st to 2nd shift point for my r32... i think it has better acceleration, so u just use them as a base... i guess...  |
| Posted by: ka0tic Nov 15 2004, 10:27 PM |
| this is what i have. iuno if its the best; 01. black watanabe wheels. i forgot how many spokes it is.. 6? 8? 02. iuno about techniques. depends on what level i guess. up to u. 03. used to shift at the pinned points on here but i changed to 6, 6.5, 7 04. not help correct mistakes but makes u accel faster .. if u dont tap walls. 05. akina. everythign else is quite avg. i say practice on akagi and iro. |
| Posted by: mkga14 Nov 16 2004, 02:50 AM |
| you should listen to kaotic, hes an evo3 expert but with the shift points, you can use the listed ones, but when you get bt, they'll change, when you get ft, they'll change, and when you get more and more points up till a million, they'll keep changing, you'll just have to experiment and see what works best for you... remember that its different on every track too! mfs + night = hella distracting to the guy behind you. |
| Posted by: darky Nov 16 2004, 03:28 AM | ||
Answers: 1) dont really care 2) out-in-out as always.. nothing else if u cant get the line right to start with 3) dunno havnt experimented 4) how do u spin out in ID?  5) akina |
| Posted by: GAGE Nov 16 2004, 07:00 AM |
 umm what's mfs? |
| Posted by: Benji Nov 16 2004, 07:26 AM |
| Mis. Firing. System. Make one god damn thread for all your go damn questions... |
| Posted by: Drifter X Nov 16 2004, 08:21 AM |
First you got the 2nd best Evo and 1st in acceleration, practice your lines use out-in-out to begin then move up to feint and eraser when you get FT, most turns you'll only have to let go off the gas master Iro and Akagi and Happo cuz rechallenging is where they will take you, stick with the one's you feel comfortable, I suggest not tho switch parts until FT, then play around with different one's unless you don't play alot then change them as you please other than that you are set, oh and MFS helps but it is not significant  |
| Posted by: sUp3rMaN Nov 16 2004, 08:43 AM |
| well ... IMO ... i would keep the car purely A tune... and for the last question ... well to mi the MFS kinda make the car more wall contact resistance .. |
| Posted by: Möbius Nov 16 2004, 08:48 AM |
I thought misfiring makes the car's start-up much better?  |
| Posted by: GAARA Nov 16 2004, 10:43 AM | ||
It also improves the handling and cornering. |
| Posted by: Asaki Nov 16 2004, 10:53 AM |
Tell me about it!  *Asaki drives around in his Evo3 on Tsuchisaka* POW POW!  I'm near full-tune with mine and I'm loving it...except on Akina... I can't seem to get the car to perform out-in-out turning, I always end up doing out-mid-out turning *Note to self: Steer EARLIER!* |
| Posted by: ka0tic Nov 16 2004, 12:09 PM |
| the evo3 isnt that bad on akina, just that you have to slow down more to not hit the walls. evo3`s should stay away from akina on TA. but if an 86 challenges u, u`ll get head start .. but during mid course, ur gonna have to block good. the misfiring helps on accel from line, and taps on walls. and i think thats what makes it oversteer. TOO MUCH POWER!  |
| Posted by: sUp3rMaN Nov 16 2004, 12:45 PM |
| true .. i too think is the power and the accel that make the car understeer ... too much power on 4 wheels .. |
| Posted by: Jason_H. Nov 16 2004, 04:32 PM |
| A tune. Black Watanabe wheels.. You're good. |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Nov 16 2004, 04:36 PM | ||
Mirrors!!! |
| Posted by: xkhol Nov 16 2004, 04:38 PM | ||||
it actually gives understeer but better exit speed |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Nov 16 2004, 04:44 PM | ||||||
actually not really exit speed more like exit acceleration |
| Posted by: xkhol Nov 16 2004, 04:53 PM | ||||||||
same difference lol SHINI compiled this...you guys have been missing out on a lot...because he has not been posting here... ----- Mufflers ------ Initial D Muffler - Overall smooth acceleration for all gears. Not so fantastic pickup. But better speed recovery from crashes. Fujitsubo Muffler - Overall smooth acceleration for most gears. Provides slightly more power in acceleration. Slightly weaker recovery from crashes compared to the Initial D muffler. Creative Muffler - Massive acceleration in first 3 gears. Overall best acceleration provided. Weak in 4th and 5th gears, weak recovery from crashes over the two other mufflers. ----- Rims ----- Mitsubishi Rims - THE rims for all weather conditions. Rims suited for an all rounded EvoIII. But not so fantastic pickup. Enkei 5 Spoked Starfish Rims - Improved pickup, good for dry conditions. Not so good for wet weather. Enkei Multispoked Rims - Not Tested So Far. Will Update ASAP. Wantanabe Rims - Drifting rims. Great for long sweeping winding roads like Akagi and Akina. Dies on wet weather horribly, since its already so drifty on dry, wet is worse. Wantanabe Bronze Rims - Not Tested So Far. Will Update ASAP. ----- Spoilers ----- Default Spoiler - The default Mitsubishi EvoIII spoiler. Normal spoiler. No specialisations or advantages. Kansai Speed GT-Wing - GT-Wing for the EvoIII. Increases the stability of the drifty EvoIII. But kills pickup and a bothersome for low speed cornering. Kinda raises overall top speed. Creative Partial Carbon Fibre Spoiler - Improved from the original Mitsubishi Spoiler. Increases acceleration and reduces drag. Unfortunately, since there is no bonnet change for the EvoIII, the car will be weighted down on the front and weightless near the rear. Horrible for wet weather conditions, symptoms are that the car swings out and refuses to grip and turn back. ----- Mirrors ----- Mitsubishi Mirrors - Standard EvoIII side mirrors. Creative Aerodynamic Mirrors - Supposedly to increase acceleration. But not much significant advantage as far as I'm concerned. Slight under compared to normal Mitsubishi Mirrors. Credit goes to SHINI... got it from initial-d.com/forum Anyone else find it odd that the MFS doesn't go off when you shift? |
| Posted by: NarutoZer0 Nov 16 2004, 06:20 PM |
| The best parts are Pitch Black Wantabee Wheels, Aero Mirros, Kyle (Kyouichi)'s Muffler, and the Sticker. Front Spoiler also if you want less understeer. |
| Posted by: -eViL- Nov 17 2004, 12:55 AM |
| My Friend's starting this Car tomorrow. A Tune ( To get MFS ) ---> C Tune ---> HKS KANSAI Rear Spoiler & Watanabee Black Rims... That's what his aiming to get his Car to look like. Its gonna look Sexc  |
| Posted by: ka0tic Nov 17 2004, 11:40 AM |
| isn`t the C tune the same bodykit as A? ... the only thing diff. is the spoiler. .. well iuno i cant picture it. my car is A tune, black, black watannabe`s, aerodynamic side mirrors. lookin to change it to the B tune bodykit and getting the A tune spoiler and black watannabe wheels. |
| Posted by: Drifter X Nov 17 2004, 11:54 AM |
| when it comes time to change tunes and you switch to another tune other than A, do you lose the MFS? |
| Posted by: ka0tic Nov 17 2004, 12:17 PM |
| once again answered, .. no it does not. unless u change to a tune or muffler whatever that has two pipes. u wont see the explosion, but it`s still there, and if you DO change to a twin pip muffler and you want to have it again just switch back to a single pipe muffler. |

| My friend wants to know what is the best tune for the Evo 4. Thanks. |
| Posted by: babba-r32 Nov 22 2004, 01:40 PM |
| A tune. BTW, shift points for this car are on the pinned "V3 shiftpoints" post. |
| Posted by: Kutsuju Nov 22 2004, 03:14 PM |
| Yeah i know from exp. A tune > rest. |
| Posted by: xkhol Nov 22 2004, 05:03 PM |
| then get the Enkei SIX SPOKE wheels valdi sport spoiler bozz muffler |
| Posted by: Drift86Trueno Nov 22 2004, 05:07 PM |
| A tune. |
| Posted by: mkga14 Nov 22 2004, 05:17 PM |
make sure its white too... cuz white evos are dope  |
| Posted by: Soran Nov 22 2004, 05:18 PM |
Go with A-tune. Even a pure A-tune Evo IV can tear up most of the tracks easily, and can make for a terrifying opponent. Plus the Monster and Emperor stickers look good!!  |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Nov 22 2004, 06:04 PM |
| id say pure A tuen other than those one secret wheels...there just better than the rest |
| Posted by: Dai Shan Nov 22 2004, 06:14 PM | ||
how much does the valdi spoiler and the bozz muffler improve the evo effectiveness? how much are these two better than the pure A-tune muffler and spoiler? |
| Posted by: m0nK3y Nov 22 2004, 07:54 PM |
| Is it a better idea to buy the wheels, spoiler, and muffler after basic tune or wait until i get it full tuned? |
| Posted by: Möbius Nov 23 2004, 12:30 AM |
| Wait until FT, as points matter more than parts... Start spending the points after 990K... |
| Posted by: Xibal (ER34) Nov 23 2004, 01:54 AM |
| well said ^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| Posted by: SK8RX Nov 23 2004, 02:43 AM |
| omg... pffft.. TUnes make no Difference.. no noticable difference.. I Have A Tune - B and Im Whooping Countless A Tunes.. and Im Pretty Sure It'll Offer the Sticker to you after B.T. ANyway |
| Posted by: Knee Grow Nov 23 2004, 03:55 AM |
| wrong if you're referring to the "Monstor" sticker, you can only get that with the A-Tune. You CAN get the Emperor one through purchase I believe. |
| Posted by: winterhunter Nov 23 2004, 05:00 AM |
| wat is a spoke? i'm new to this game and i am using evo 4 what is the tires differents........  btw can i ask abt sili eighty tires also me and my friend play together also noob.... |
| Posted by: Ayako Watanabe Nov 23 2004, 11:50 AM | ||
spokes are...well..rims. Look at the 86 from Initial D, thse harims have 8 spokes connected from the center to the lip of the rim i think. Another example is the stock rims in the R34, those are 5 spokes and the Enkei wheels are 6 spokes that u can get for the GDB 9 the one with the rounded headlights). And about the Sil-80, there is alreany enough topics about Sil80 part courses and choices that u can find, just use the SEARCH button EDIT: Ill save u the trouble, click the link below info on everything for u and ur friend needs about the sil80. https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=8424 |
| Posted by: m0nK3y Nov 23 2004, 08:54 PM |
| Anybody kno the speeds to shift into 5th gear for the specific maps?? In v3 shiftpoints they didn't post up the speeds for the maps. I have an Evo IV A-Tune with i think about 20k points....if that matters. |
| Posted by: Jump! Nov 24 2004, 03:52 PM |
| Hello everyone, before anyone starts ragging on me for using the search button I want to say that I did use it. I found a few threads but they didn't answer all my questions on this car. So with that out of the way.... I know that almost everyone doesn't think that the Evo VII is a good car (Among the Evos) but I chose it because I like it best. So please noone tell me to change cars. I wanted to ask what the best parts/tune is for this car and what each specifically do. I read in another thread(forgot which one) that each part does different things to the car. Ex. Different mufflers affect accel/top speed Secondly, I want to know if the shiftpoints of: 5800>6000>6500>7000 are correct for all tunes/parts. Thanks in advance for your responses. Edit: I might as well ask the same question about the part for my DC2 as well. Since I've got everyone's attention. Also.. is there really THAT much difference between Turbo/Non Turbo for DC2? Is NA total shit compared to the turbo version? P.S. I'm not a noob that chose DC2 for it's godliness on V2. In fact, I played V2 only a few times. My DC2 was from V1... |
| Posted by: Soran Nov 24 2004, 04:31 PM |
| Evo VII....i used to have one, but never tested out the parts, so i cant really help there. If i'm not wrong, the Evo VII's best course is Iro DH/UH, so u might as well get the tune that runs well on it, which happens to be C-tune (due to all that carbon) Your shift points seem ok, but u might want to ask Evo VII specs about it. DC2, difference between turbo and NA is that the turbo-ed one accelerates abit faster than the NA one, but has horrible crash recovery (meaning to say, if u tap the wall, prepare for major engine stall) |
| Posted by: Dai Shan Nov 24 2004, 04:57 PM |
| i use: 110 on iro 125 on tsuchi 135 on akina and akagi (or maybe 130 on akagi) around 100 on sho anyone with a better shift point? post them please... |
| Posted by: xkhol Nov 24 2004, 05:03 PM | ||
113 iro 127-9 tsuchi 140-3 for akina/akagi ur shifting too early, and this will cause a momentary lag in ur accel and DO NOT WAIT TO REACH FT for getting the parts, if the part comes up GET IT, b/c the EVO IV's best parts are quite rare...especially the muffler and wheels....i still haven't gotten the wheels and i'm FT already and as for performance, what i've noticed: wing: better overall turning muffler: better start-up and 1-4 gears are stronger wheels: more grip, so these will help off the line accel and just overall turning |
| Posted by: Dai Shan Nov 24 2004, 05:09 PM |
| i see... i shift too early... thanks, dude. i already got the valdi and bozz wing and muffler. still waiting for the wheels, though... and im at 400k. thanks again for the shift points. and i got volk wheels too. i forgot the name of the six-spoke wheels at that time, so when they offered the volk six-spoke, i took it. stupid me. LOL |
| Posted by: 828 Nov 24 2004, 05:13 PM |
| evo 7 best course is myogi actually |
| Posted by: xkhol Nov 24 2004, 05:15 PM |
| do you have the valdi or bozz wing? cuz valdi is the better one, it's carbon fiber |
| Posted by: Phantom_R32 Nov 24 2004, 05:15 PM |
| its owns on Akina snow |
| Posted by: Elite Nov 24 2004, 05:17 PM | ||
I agree. It's pretty good on Irohazaka Reverse too. It's only average on Irohazaka downhill. |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Nov 24 2004, 05:43 PM |
| if i remember correctly... id say A or B would be ur best bet, just get the CF hood |
| Posted by: Kutsuju Nov 24 2004, 06:04 PM |
| I know too people with evo vii's so ill ask them bout the good tunes. |
| Posted by: Kutsuju Nov 24 2004, 06:06 PM |
| Does any one know the name of the six spoke rims?? |
| Posted by: xkhol Nov 24 2004, 06:09 PM |
| no, but they look like the ones on the EVOVIII |
| Posted by: Dai Shan Nov 24 2004, 06:38 PM | ||
got the valdi wing and the bozz muffler. the six spoke wheel is enkei right? |
| Posted by: xkhol Nov 24 2004, 06:45 PM |
| yup |
| Posted by: SK8RX Nov 24 2004, 06:55 PM | ||
For CN9A I Use: 6000->6500->7000 156 On Myogi, 147 On Usui (or 155), Shifting to fifth early helps in battles) 142 Akagi 146 Akina 133 Happo 114-116 IRO 128 - Tsu IB, 130 Tsu OB 103-105 Shom. 130 Akina Snow UH, 132 Akina Snow DH |
| Posted by: Dai Shan Nov 24 2004, 07:00 PM |
| i gotta have that six-spoke... all they offer me are the other two enkei wheels... are those two any better than the volk wheels? i really have no idea, and i haven't tried the enkei ones coz it costs 15000... |
| Posted by: Knee Grow Nov 24 2004, 09:01 PM |
| They are rare...prepare to wait awhile....... |
| Posted by: Jump! Nov 24 2004, 09:23 PM |
| Thanks for replies. Right now my evo is A tune but I started to change the parts. It now has the monster hood, trunk/wing and exhaust. it actually helped me run better on iro. with 200k pts 3:08.4xx |
| Posted by: Phantom_R32 Nov 24 2004, 09:25 PM | ||
ummmm lol  i think you got yourself the evo IV and not the VII lol anyways..good choice..little over used..but good choice EDIT: Crap i never realized the Evo VII had actual monstor parts....i thought he was talking about the sticker  |
| Posted by: Jump! Nov 24 2004, 09:34 PM |
| Yeah.. After all the parts are installed on Tune A, I had the choice of changing parts to the monster parts I listed above. The exhaust I think increased my acceleration in the low gears. Don't know or really feel like the carbon trunk/wing and carbon hood changed much though. Does a car really increase it's abilities by alot with more points? Like I said above, I have about 200k right now. |
| Posted by: Phantom_R32 Nov 24 2004, 09:40 PM | ||
your top speed should increase when you hit 500,000 and 990,000 that should be the only thing that is a noticeable change |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Nov 24 2004, 10:41 PM |
| wtf...i thought u cant buy the CF trunk... |
| Posted by: xkhol Nov 24 2004, 10:48 PM | ||
u can't |
| Posted by: NarutoZer0 Nov 24 2004, 11:02 PM |
| Evo VII is okay if your good. I had one. I switched 2 a III but ill play it again afterwards. |
| Posted by: Knee Grow Nov 25 2004, 02:10 AM | ||||
nope you can only get it if you choose the tune course that has it. |
| Posted by: Jump! Nov 25 2004, 05:49 AM | ||
I chose the VII because out of the available ones, I liked it the best in way of looks compared to the III and IV that were available in V1. Back in the day of V1... nostalgic.. So anyways... are the best parts the monster parts for the VII? What about tires? Can't remember which I have. I think the RalliArt right now. Is that good/bad? |
| Posted by: _-br1an-_ Nov 25 2004, 09:23 AM |
| evoVII's shift points are 6--->6.5--->7---->7.5 i think i got C tune.. with the CF front and back(which made it pretty unsightly cuz u cant see the EVOLUTION VII words anymore... ) it's really drifty but it's 4th and 5th gears are it's main assets... |
| Posted by: sUp3rMaN Nov 25 2004, 10:07 AM |
| when taking corners, wad gears do u mostly use for evo 3 ....?? |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Nov 25 2004, 10:25 AM |
| 3rd... |
| Posted by: Umi_Ryuuzaki Nov 25 2004, 11:01 AM |
| I'm a Evo7 driver... C-spec is very nice, but its major weakness is actually the wheels. They SUCK. With the car already lighten to the point where it hard to control, the wheels make it painful in wet/snow. I'm a grip person and when I realized it, i was pissed. I might go back to my evo7 for a bit and try to swap out the wheels. Otherwise, its a fun car to train on =D Once I get my Evo4 to around where I left my Evo7, i'm gonna compare it with all the maps and see the difference. So far from experience, the Evo7 is comparable with a R34 in a sense. Iro's performance was so-so, but do able. Tsuchi (one of my main 3 maps) was surprisingly hard for me with this car. Everything else...I kinda forgot =P |
| Posted by: -eViL- Nov 25 2004, 12:12 PM |
| C-Tune is so Ugly... B-Tune > Then Buy C-Tune CF Hood. Thats seksi |

| lots and lots of eraser, so i use 4-3-4 and 3-2-3. |
| Posted by: sUp3rMaN Nov 26 2004, 10:55 AM |
| well ... i getting 3:10:xx for iro downhill .. i kinda using most 4th except for the 1st , 3rd and the jumps .. i use 3rd ... but wad i found out is that ... i cant hit the inner lines .. the line just beside the grass .. then i tried all at 3rd .. then i am getting time slower than b4 .. so wad could be the problem .. could it be that i'm braking too much in 3rd ?? or i'm hitting too much wall ?? |
| Posted by: ka0tic Nov 26 2004, 11:21 AM | ||
it could be both. u u shouldnt be breaking THAT much. i cant remember which turns i break, and it also be ur hitting the walls too much or too hard. try practicing on only doing little taps first instead of big hits. and go from there. lol i never got 3:10 in my life |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Nov 26 2004, 11:42 AM | ||||
u dont even need to brake on all the turns...like the 4th turn is wide and i beleive so is teh 6th and 7th...i havent done iro with my III in a while so iono... |
| Posted by: ka0tic Nov 26 2004, 11:55 AM | ||||||
for someone just starting on iro, u should take everything in 3rd. i dont think the evo3 is capable of taking turns in 4th like the evo4 can and not hit anything nor brake. |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Nov 26 2004, 12:07 PM | ||||||||
ya everything is done in atleast 3rd gear |
| Posted by: sUp3rMaN Nov 26 2004, 12:39 PM |
| wad abt braking .. should i tap the brakes or just go in by releasing the gas pedal ... and if i go in without the brakes .. wouldnt i understeer ...?? |
| Posted by: ka0tic Nov 26 2004, 01:08 PM |
| uh, damn i don`t even remember about which turns to brake. id have to go watch my vid real fast and come back and tell u which turn you should brake on. the answer to ur 2nd question, no u wont understeer. ur not using an 8v on iro lol. evo3 and evo4 .. doesnt understeer on iro homie. [edit ps] the turns i brake on are; 1st turn [hard] 2nd turn [tap] 3rd turn [hard feint] 5th turn [tap] 8th turn [tap] 13th [hard] jumps 2nd turn after jumps [tap] .. i think thats it. |
| Posted by: sUp3rMaN Nov 26 2004, 01:41 PM |
| well i saw a vid on the version 2 forums, was that he was tapping brakes on most of the corners.... and one more thing .. mine cornering speed for most of the corners was 75++ and exited at 85++ ... |
| Posted by: ka0tic Nov 26 2004, 02:22 PM |
| okay then do whatchu want. |
| Posted by: likquidpopx Nov 26 2004, 03:34 PM |
| i believe pretty much all cars you're taking 3rd and 4th on iro except 6 speed cars... you want to be taking 4th and 5th |
| Posted by: wowbagger Nov 27 2004, 12:38 AM |
| 3rd gear at the turns then upshift to 4 when your speed reaches 80+ at the straights. when taking jumps some people downshift to 2. |

| EvoIV and EvoV, what's the difference? |
| Posted by: GAARA Nov 29 2004, 01:06 AM |
| I used to have an evoV until i lost it in inspection, but I now drive an evoIV, all I could say is that the evoV is driftier. The evoIV seems to be easier to control and is more stable. I also notice that the evoIV doesn't suffer from wheel lock. |

| Sometimes it does but very rarly. |
| Posted by: sUp3rMaN Nov 29 2004, 07:08 AM |

| Evo iv > other evos. |

| Posted by: GAARA Nov 29 2004, 12:25 PM |
| I am pretty sure that my post is correct. I had a 750K evoV and a ft evoIV, the V is driftier. Even on tsuchi, I notice that the car slides alot more. Try happo with both cars as well. That to me is the only difference that I noticed in driving both cars. |
| Posted by: dai2i2ick Nov 29 2004, 12:53 PM |
| i had an Evo V once (my bait card ) anyways, i drove it a couple of times on tsuchi OB, and it definitely slides around a lot compared to my rx-8. i've tried the Evo IV once and i have to agree with gaara with what he said about the Evo V sliding around more. it's nothing that can't be dealt with a few adjustments in your style. |
| Posted by: GAARA Nov 29 2004, 12:55 PM | ||
Yes the evoV's sliding can be controlled. When I swiched, I felt so much better in evoIV because I was so used to the sliding of the V. |
| Posted by: Kutsuju Nov 29 2004, 01:22 PM |
| I owned a evo vi from the start cuz he sucks bals had shifting. |
| Posted by: Knee Grow Nov 29 2004, 01:30 PM | ||
Practically ANY car can get owned if the driver sucks at the shifting points for his car........that's not saying much. |
| Posted by: Kutsuju Nov 29 2004, 01:48 PM |

| you damn right it is!!!!! |
| Posted by: dai2i2ick Nov 29 2004, 02:04 PM |
| if you're trying to decide whether to get the evo IV or V, personally i'd go with the evo V just to be different. it's definitely not a bad car and you'll be able to own on tsuchi and akina snow (won't be the best car but ranked fairly high). if you want all-around better car, go with the evo IV |
| Posted by: Knee Grow Nov 29 2004, 02:06 PM |
| I'd go with the V as well so as to not jump on MY bandwagon! LMAO |
| Posted by: Mark2DX Nov 29 2004, 02:19 PM |
| The difference is the Evo4 is better on Iro and Snow and the Evo5 is better on Tsuchisaka. |
| Posted by: CoastalmixX Nov 29 2004, 02:23 PM | ||
VI = 6, not 5. I was considering trying an EvoIV because I've already done so much with my EvoIV, and now where I play everyone has an EvoIV, it was damn annoying when I came back into town. |
| Posted by: dai2i2ick Nov 29 2004, 02:27 PM |
| not to sound like a punk, but maybe you should decide on one car and stick with it once and for all 'cuz i remember you posting car info threads for at least 3 or 4 other cars |
| Posted by: CoastalmixX Nov 29 2004, 03:09 PM | ||
Yeah, I know that and if you saw my Q's post then you would have seen the apology for the slew of threads. I'm an indecisive person. I probably will stick with my EvoIV for a good while... I just want to know be different and know about other cars as well. |
| Posted by: Elite Nov 29 2004, 03:12 PM |
| Evo IV is best among the Evos. |
| Posted by: HAVOC 77 Nov 29 2004, 03:13 PM | ||
Yea id just stick with the Evo 4 its a really good car overused though. |

| Sorry for the typo. i meant evo v not vi. |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Nov 29 2004, 06:22 PM |
| V is driftier but IV is just better on most other courses than tsuchi |
| Posted by: GAARA Nov 29 2004, 06:27 PM |
| But the V still has a high chance of losing on tsuchi, at least to me it does. |
| Posted by: wowbagger Nov 29 2004, 06:30 PM |
| its really not the car, its the driver. the evo IV is a better all around car, except that A LOT of people use it. if you dont mind being "pop" then go with the IV. i mind, so i use a V. |

i agree.. even if ur 'fisher prone', u cud improve ur skillz on the other tracks anyway.. any good driver could accomplish more than decent times on any track (IMO).. plus fishers end up crying back to their mommas... right now i use an evo IV, coz im still noob, but im considering an evo III or V.. too many ppl have evo IVs in our place.. |
| Posted by: wowbagger Nov 29 2004, 10:33 PM | ||
then that wouldnt make you a specialist, now would it? decent times arent enough to beat fishers (unless they're complete idiots) |
| Posted by: Dai Shan Nov 29 2004, 10:39 PM |
| The power of the IV is just outstanding. With it, you have a shot at beating anyone, whether it is small or not. Although you'll have problems if you do not knoe the map well, or if there's too big a gap between the cars like an FT car as course king and you with a BT or not yet BT (also, the gap on skills would be the biggest factor) And decent times are sometimes not enough to beat fishers. |
| Posted by: mkga14 Nov 29 2004, 11:32 PM |
| evo4s are the all around car... but they're fishable... the e4 is a good car for newbis to start out in, its really grippy, the recov time isn't that bad and the acel isn't that bad either, just as long as you have ur shifting points down... keep in mind that ur shifting points will probably change once you get more points. |

| While looking for the tuning option/parts for the EVO IV i found out that i needed to get valdi sport wing bozz muffler enkei white six spoke wheels and useing tuneing A but sofar i havent gotten any of those parts, and im close to inspection, so do i need to switch tune to the option that comes with these parts at inspection? or do i just keep the same tune and wait till i can buy these parts? |
| Posted by: Knee Grow Nov 30 2004, 07:09 PM |
| go with keep that tune and wait for the parts |
| Posted by: PhantomaZero Nov 30 2004, 07:09 PM |
| I think you should switch tunes. |
| Posted by: Knee Grow Nov 30 2004, 07:12 PM |
| Tune A is the best outta all the EVO IV tunes....why would he need to change? If he DOES change tunes then he'll have to wait even longer while he plays to get his new parts from the new tune! |
| Posted by: PhantomaZero Nov 30 2004, 07:21 PM |
| Well you get a new part for each race regardless of points. Buying them will cost you points, which I don't think you should do until you're FT. |
| Posted by: xkhol Nov 30 2004, 07:22 PM | ||

| Why is A tune the best if the wing, muffler and wheels are changed to something else anyways? And those are the only parts on the evo iv that are different in each tune. (with the exception of emperor and monster stickers) So what's the difference to pick any other tune? EDIT: Sorry, I missed the front spoiler upgrades on the other tunes while reading... Nevermind. |
| Posted by: Knee Grow Nov 30 2004, 08:41 PM |
| because Tune A has the fastest startup..... |
| Posted by: xkhol Nov 30 2004, 08:44 PM |
| it gets even better with the bozz speed muffler... and the extra grip from the enkeis helps more... and the CF wing lightens ur car helping start-up.. i just need those wheels |
| Posted by: Jump! Nov 30 2004, 08:44 PM |
| I suppose it's fastest startup because there is no front spoiler change? but yeah, thank again Maniak... youa re like my fountain of knowledge today. lol |

Ah... so Maniak hasn't played much of Version3 yet. Yeah, what they said, practice snow, Sho, and Tsuchi. EvoIV is great on all of those courses, Tsuchi in particular. You can take the whole course in 5th gear. I'm FT and I've seen all but the wheels... ;P Hopefully they're not worth so much as to start a new EvoIV for it. |

| Posted by: xkhol Dec 1 2004, 04:52 PM |
| use stock until you see them... there is only one set of ENKEI six spokes |
| Posted by: PhantomaZero Dec 1 2004, 05:39 PM |
| Tires change your handling. More or less grip. |
| Posted by: Umi_Ryuuzaki Dec 1 2004, 05:57 PM |

| Posted by: CoastalmixX Dec 1 2004, 08:09 PM |

| Posted by: CoastalmixX Dec 1 2004, 08:24 PM |
| Alright thanks, I'll keep an eye out for those Enkei's. Hopefully they'll come up. I don't have a lot of points on my Evo, probably 1.4 mill only. Btw, how do you guys know all this? How do you know what wheels/mufflers/wings do what to the car? |

| Posted by: [RAVE]Haru Dec 2 2004, 02:09 PM |
| I beat it when I got 3'12 on Akina with a FT Evo IV, even tho I now can get lik 3'08. If u run 3'10 u should beat it no problem. Usually the first turn is where it all starts going wrong with an Evo 5 in 4 out works wonders. Hope this helps. |
| Posted by: CoastalmixX Dec 2 2004, 02:32 PM | ||
Whoa... 5i4o with an Evo? I've never tried that. |
| Posted by: Drifter X Dec 2 2004, 03:37 PM |
| never tried it what? just tap the brake a little and then turn, countersteer, 5i4o and you should be fine, learn the gutters with the Evo otherwise you won't be able to beat him but getting 3'10 should be no problem |
| Posted by: dai2i2ick Dec 2 2004, 03:48 PM |
man i suck so much on akina... i've only beaten the first star bunta and it's the only course that's preventing me from getting more racer level stars  it's strange, the first time i beat him it was by around 100m, but now i can't even beat the 2nd star. i think i've been playing tsuchi OB too much. the only real advice i can offer is to take him on the 2nd corner... i think that's the right one |
| Posted by: CoastalmixX Dec 2 2004, 05:09 PM |
| Usually the second corner is when I pass, if not the first. I've never tried 5i4o with an Evo... I've got 3 stars with my 86 and that's a lot for me... hahaha. Tap the break? I usually have to brake hard in my Evo... I'm sure that's not how you do 5i4o with an 86, though, is it? From what I know it's stay in, cut out, brake hard then turn, countersteer then downshift... it seems so simple just looking at it, but I can't even do it when it comes to working with my 86. |
| Posted by: mkga14 Dec 2 2004, 11:57 PM |
| the evo4 sucks on akina... i've only beat him twice in bc mode with the ft e4. i'm still running 310, 309 but even with that i still won... gutters will work wonders for you if you could learn them... i've never tried 5 in 4 outbefore but i think i'll try it next time... hopefully that'll be the key that will get me down to 304 |

| 5i4o is really difficult to pull off in an EVO, good luck on making it work. An yeah, 5i4o doesn't need to be used unless you want to start breaking 3'00." Ran a 3'01"xxx'" in a trueno without 5i4o. Good luck with your EVO. |
| Posted by: [RAVE]Haru Dec 4 2004, 08:41 PM | ||
and u are comparing a trueno and an evo why? its an obvious fact that the trueno owns on akina, nothing new there As for 5i4o, you wouldnt break 3"00 anyways in an Evo as the record is at exactly 3"00. If you knw how to use it, thn go for it, it /will/ help u cut your time. |
| Posted by: EJ8-Turbo Dec 4 2004, 08:58 PM | ||||
The record for all cars?? or the Evo?? And perhaps the trueno and the Evo can't be compared apples to apples, but the best line on Akina is still the same. the Evo is better than the trueno on some parts, and the trueno is better than the evo at some parts. You'd be surprised how close the "best car" on the course vs. any other car are. |

The record right now for Akina is 2'55" with a Trueno while the record with an EvoIV is 3'00"00. That's a whole 5 seconds. Because of the understeer the Evo gets in this course, it's not likely to break the 3'00" line no matter what line you take, but it is very possible. |

| what benefits do you get when u get the 5-spoke enkei wheels? is it a whole lot better than the stock ones from the A-tune? maybe one would consider buying them while waiting for the 6-spoke if the 5-spoke was good too.. or does getting 5-spoke affect your chances of getting to see the 6-spoke wheels and getting them? (noob question, huh.. ) |
| Posted by: [RAVE]Haru Dec 5 2004, 12:13 PM |
| I've had the 5 spoke rims for a while, don't really feel any difference from the a-tune wheels. And no, it does not affect the chances of getting the 6 spoke, they are rare enough as it is LOL |
| Posted by: Dai Shan Dec 5 2004, 05:10 PM | ||
those aren't enkei, i think those are volk wheels. the ones you get for option D. |
| Posted by: CoastalmixX Dec 7 2004, 11:17 AM | ||||
Out of curiosity... Does anyone here actually have the Enkei's has seen someone with the Enkei's after full tune? I think I have a video of an EvoIV doing 3'00" Iro... possibly with the white Enkei's, I just can't tell. |
| Posted by: Jump! Dec 7 2004, 09:03 PM |
| I think it would be much easier if someone posted a pic of the wheels. Cuz it doesn't seem to sink in which are which to ppls |
| Posted by: Black Shadow Dec 8 2004, 12:05 PM |
| Well you can get volks, enkeis, and rallyart I think(does rallyart make wheels?). |
| Posted by: Jump! Dec 8 2004, 04:09 PM |
| I changed my stock wheels to white Enkei 5 spoke wheels. It was one that I've never seen before so I got them.. They weren't the thick 5 spokes. the spokes are really thin. Is that set of wheels any good? |
| Posted by: Black Shadow Dec 8 2004, 06:28 PM | ||
I think so, I have them for my Evo and they handle okay. |
| Posted by: Rekoj Dec 8 2004, 09:05 PM |
| Some one already has posted a pic of the 6 spoke wheels.... though i forogt under what post |
| Posted by: Jin Dec 9 2004, 08:16 PM |

| talk about the EVO's here |
| Posted by: Eric Feb 21 2005, 01:10 AM |
| I think the evo 3 is the best evo |
| Posted by: Xibal (ER34) Feb 21 2005, 03:39 AM |
| evo 3 is good but i don't consider it the best |
| Posted by: sUp3rMaN Feb 21 2005, 05:47 AM |
| ya .. i agree that evo3 is good but not the best .. it is very unstable and unpredictable in wet and at high speed .. |
| Posted by: Kutsuju Feb 21 2005, 07:59 AM |
| evo iv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! number one! |
| Posted by: cell Feb 21 2005, 08:06 AM |
| for me...evo iv is the best in overall |
| Posted by: MokonA Feb 21 2005, 11:54 AM |
| I prefer my V because it's get better start up than most evo's (except Evo III A-tune I believe), and it has very nice steering. |
| Posted by: xkhol Feb 21 2005, 11:57 AM |
| EVOIV has better start-up it can outstart the EVOIII if the EVOIII mis-shifts even slightly and i heard the EVO V wheel locks ALOT.. |
| Posted by: MokonA Feb 21 2005, 12:05 PM |
| I does lock up but not as much as people say...I've never found it to be often. And about the start up thing...I could have sworn Evo V had better. 21/Evo5 22/Evo3 (B, C, D, & N-Tunes) 23/Evo4 |
| Posted by: optionA-SPIRIT-RofGA Feb 21 2005, 12:52 PM |
| love my EVO4 harly ever understeers handling is great its jus hard to drive on akina |
| Posted by: Mo-Nercy Feb 21 2005, 01:32 PM |
| <3 my Evo IV. A-tune. Bright red. |
| Posted by: Kutsuju Feb 21 2005, 06:17 PM |
| Same here. Bright red with gold volk rims. 6 spoke and almost 900k points. |
| Posted by: ePiz Feb 21 2005, 08:03 PM |
| i would say my perfect setup for an evo III to be blalanced would be... a-tune to get MFS... then switch to b-tune for the hks front bumper.. have the misubishi spoiler with mitsubishi rims.... than have either initial d muffler or fujitsubo muffler.... |
| Posted by: Dicey Feb 21 2005, 08:49 PM |
| Go Evo 4! |
| Posted by: Xibal (ER34) Feb 22 2005, 03:52 AM | ||
well it basically comes down to the shifting u can have a noobie with a 400k tune evo 3 MFS not knowing his shift points and have a evo 5 not even BT but noes his shift points beating the evo 3 off the line |
| Posted by: MokonA Feb 22 2005, 06:23 AM | ||||
Well there's that too. But thats the persons fault for over/short shifting. |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Feb 22 2005, 09:17 AM | ||
NOOOO fujitsubo sux! |
| Posted by: cell Feb 22 2005, 10:16 AM |
| take the initial D muffle... |
| Posted by: MokonA Feb 22 2005, 12:59 PM | ||
I agree take the initial D muffler |
| Posted by: optionA-SPIRIT-RofGA Feb 22 2005, 01:00 PM |
| fujitsubo mufflers are horrilbe....make the car understeer allot more |
| Posted by: Raleighchris Feb 22 2005, 01:04 PM |
| muffler makes car understeer? |
| Posted by: optionA-SPIRIT-RofGA Feb 22 2005, 01:14 PM |
| oh wait im thinkin of fujita engineering muffler sorry guys...when i switch my muffler (fujita engineering) on my spirit it made it understeer alot more only plus about the mufffler was the top speed i mean i cant speak for everone esle but changing the muffler made it understeer more...my EVO4 i went with the enki 6 poke and ID muffler havent touched it since the sut up suits me |
| Posted by: Umi_Ryuuzaki Feb 22 2005, 01:17 PM |
| Heheh I use a Evo4 too.../yay for using a overused car XD; I swear though, those Enkei 6-spoke wheels are damn rare. Is points a factor in getting them or is it total sheer luck? I heard you needed to be around 675k to even have a chance...o.o; |
| Posted by: Mo-Nercy Feb 22 2005, 01:20 PM |
| I've just full tuned the Evo IV and I haven't got my six spokes yet. And from what I hear, taking into consideration the luck I have in these kinds of situations, I'll probably never get them. |
| Posted by: optionA-SPIRIT-RofGA Feb 22 2005, 01:44 PM |
| u will get em man hell i got luckey i almost hit NO to accept them |
| Posted by: Evolll_Drv3r Feb 22 2005, 01:49 PM |
| Are the Kyle (Kyouichi) type muffler good 4 the evoIII? |
| Posted by: MokonA Feb 22 2005, 02:08 PM | ||
I personally think so....But then again I'm not a hardcore evo III driver. |
| Posted by: Xibal (ER34) Feb 23 2005, 02:23 AM |
| well if u got a tune A evo 3 do not change the muffler otherwise u'll lose ur MFS |
| Posted by: Asterisk Cloud Feb 23 2005, 02:56 AM |
| That's one reason I'll probably never use an Evo III. I'll never make up my mind if I want the MFS or not. Evo VI, anyone? |
| Posted by: MokonA Feb 23 2005, 05:41 AM | ||
huh, I had no idea that would happen, thats very interesting. |
| Posted by: kimimaro Feb 23 2005, 08:15 AM |
| Wanna ask I am A tune EVO 3 but now due to the inspection, I want to ask a question... If I let's say choose B tune will my car be upgrade with B parts automatically without my permission and overwrite my A parts or will it will ask me if i want to change it everytime the upgrade came? |
| Posted by: MokonA Feb 23 2005, 12:20 PM |
| yeah it'll change until b tune customization is complete. |
| Posted by: Eric Feb 23 2005, 01:43 PM | ||
You wont lose the mis fire system if you change the muffler I have the creative muffler right now and i still have the mfs |
| Posted by: Evolll_Drv3r Feb 23 2005, 01:51 PM |
| the only time u lose ur MFS if u change ur option or if u get some crappy lookin dual pipe muffler |
| Posted by: loser_635 Feb 23 2005, 03:57 PM |
| Whos got an EVO7?I can punish any car on any course with mine. |
| Posted by: Kutsuju Feb 23 2005, 06:18 PM |
| Never tried an evo vi or vii? Any good or one of those cars to just stay away from. |
| Posted by: Woffle Feb 23 2005, 10:30 PM |
| Wtf you saying? The Evo VII rocks! Just race it on Iro and it is hella good. I used my friend's Evo VII and dusted an FD on that track. The Evo VII is truly an awesome car, but not popular. |
| Posted by: kimimaro Feb 24 2005, 01:30 AM |
| Damn i think I made a mistake I accidentaly change the rims to Watanabe Bronze(i think) in mistaken for a black watanabe. What should I do now? Please dont tell me to renew another card I like to stick with mine |
| Posted by: sUp3rMaN Feb 24 2005, 03:28 AM | ||
wad u can do is that, u can wait till the next suitable wheel come up on ur option.. instead of starting a new card .. but by doing so , ur point will decrease greatly .. |
| Posted by: Xibal (ER34) Feb 24 2005, 04:57 AM | ||||
i should of said if u changed it to dat crappy dual exhaust u'll lose ur MFS sorry bout that |
| Posted by: kimimaro Feb 24 2005, 10:17 AM |
| Is the bronze Watanabe rims any good? Is it even slightly better than the A tune rims? Man when I saw the watanabe rims, I felt like it was black and then I felt the oppurtunity wont come again if I dont take it now damn I got the bronze one |
| Posted by: Eric Feb 24 2005, 12:20 PM | ||
I love those wheels great on akagi |
| Posted by: MokonA Feb 24 2005, 04:52 PM | ||
There's a kid named Scott where I play at and he has an evo VII. It's truly amazing to watch him own with that car. Most of the kids at my arcade are like "oh you drive an EVO VII, dawg/man/dude/yo you suck." and out of clear blue sky(at least to them) he destroys them and they are just stupified in front of their girlfriends. I should film it one day. |
| Posted by: Asterisk Cloud Feb 24 2005, 06:17 PM |
| Well considering I can beat pretty much every AL regular, you and Scott excluded, with any car on Irohazaka, and most other courses except Akina, I wouldn't consider it to be -that- exciting to see someone beat people using an Evo VII. Seriously though, I'd love to go back to AL on some night and pick up wins on some crappy car. Then again, I'm still banned from there, and I really don't feel like being arrested. And I'd really hate to spend money there. I want my Evo VI back (dropped it and it's gone now). Despite the really low rankings, it's still my favorite. |
| Posted by: WATER Feb 26 2005, 05:04 AM | ||
Well Evo 7 is an average car and it understeers on a lot of courses.(Such as Akagi, Akina, Tsuchi....) However, if the driver is skilled enough, he can pull off some good times on these tracks using an Evo 7... |
| Posted by: Xibal (ER34) Feb 26 2005, 06:08 AM |
| it feels pretty heavy compared to the other evos |
| Posted by: MokonA Feb 26 2005, 06:09 AM | ||
Get it back man, we still need to make the evo team! lol |
| Posted by: WATER Feb 26 2005, 06:38 AM | ||
After using my friend's Evo IV to do some TAs, I realised how heavy my Evo VII is..... i was so annoyed by the performance of the Evo IV, exit speed that's not possible with my Evo VII can easily be done with an Evo IV.... |

| heyy water i saw you that day at JP ... im brian.. haha the guy with the yellow rx8 .. |

| Oh yea so that was you...... Such a coincidence...... |
| Posted by: d0ob0o Feb 26 2005, 09:54 AM | ||||
if a driver is skilled enough u can pull off good times newhere with ne car |
| Posted by: kimimaro Feb 26 2005, 10:43 AM |
| Actually how you guys play in Iro? I am driving an EVO3 with A tunes and watanabe bronze and I suck on IRO. How do you guys take those turns especially the first sharp turn to the right and the third sharp turn to the right. Oh yeah and what is the best way to take all the shortcuts downhill? I also want to know why is the Lancers rule on this course? What they have the others dont? |
| Posted by: sUp3rMaN Feb 26 2005, 03:48 PM |
| prepare for the 1st corner .. by letting off gas early, downshift and brake hard ..and of cos turn ur steering wheel .. |
| Posted by: Evolll_Drv3r Feb 26 2005, 09:03 PM |
| good wheels for iro are Enkei's |
| Posted by: Kutsuju Feb 26 2005, 09:54 PM |
| Iro is so easy to play. My evo iv has volks 6 spoke for now until i get the enkei 6 spoke. Full Atune. |
| Posted by: Eric Mar 1 2005, 12:29 PM |
| i now have a 20 star evo3 only ten more |
| Posted by: HAVOC 77 Mar 1 2005, 12:33 PM |
| damn 30 is gonna be hard for u to get cas of bunta on akina he is hard that is where i struggled. |
| Posted by: Eric Mar 1 2005, 12:35 PM | ||
happo and akina are the 2 im worried about |
| Posted by: HAVOC 77 Mar 1 2005, 12:36 PM |
| happo is a breeze its not even funny how easy he is i think u only need like a 2'27 for 10 star bunta. |
| Posted by: CoastalmixX Mar 1 2005, 01:46 PM | ||
I beat 10star by passing him on the very last section. Time: 2'30. |
| Posted by: Driftmonkey77 Mar 1 2005, 09:40 PM |
| e4 or e5 whitch one bc i like my e4 but i dont like how loose it is but its great on iro and happo....thank if u can tell me e4 or e5 |
