chilli Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Only on the wind up;) .. i broke three clutches in less than a year in my evo 7 and i broke one gearbox and one transfer box.. That was with only 371bhp... shit car imo... sorry. Sounds familiar. I think that is a general problem with 4wd. You don't get amazing launches for free. With all that grip and power something has to give eventually, and it is usually the clutch/gearbox/transmission I'm happier with the supra's bullet proof transmission and LSD/RLTC these days, probably likely to last a lot longer even if it is a few points of a second slower on a 0-60 dash, compared to if it were the same car but with 4wd. I've destroyed clutches and transmission myself doing 'full on' 4wd launches before - gets anoying and expensive after a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 The Evo 7 is supposed to bde the worst one isn't it? drivetrain is almost identical in evo 5 onwards.. only 9 had mivec engine;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 drivetrain is almost identical in evo 5 onwards.. only 9 had mivec engine;) didnt the evo7 have different engine internals to the others making it a less tuneable car? weakened con-rods maybe?

JamieP Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 didnt the evo7 have different engine internals to the others making it a less tuneable car? weakened con-rods maybe?

LeeT Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Nah.. the 4 had different conrods... cant go over 300bhp with them safely iirc;) i'm sure i read this on the evo forums when i was researching them.
