G'day from Sydney

Hello,

I currently own an Evo 6. Used to have an EP3R. Came on here to check out members rides and buy/sell parts.

Cheers

Welcome!

How's the transition from front wheel to all wheel?

[derku]

This is a difficult to answer... considering I have only driven manual for 2 years, I can say that AWD is definitely a lot harder to drive compared to FWD(or RWD). Starting from stand-still and not bogging plus shifting into gear at the wrong RPM is more forgiving in the FWD. Stability on AWD is second to none, so from a performance point of view(especially traction), FWD lacks in that department. Hell, I couldnt really put the power down properly even on a near stock EP3R(215 front tires) but on AWD you dont need to consider it as much... just stamp it down lol.

I really miss the linearity and response of the EP3, especially in day to day traffic where most of my driving is. Fuel consumption hurts more on AWD as well.
Would I ever go back from AWD to FWD? yes but It'd be for an earlier model type R, something that is more raw.
