Evo 8/9 Vs MY06 STI

Of course, with looks like that id rather drive a bowl of dicks.

At least one isnt trying to hide its gayness.

Evo - I think the scene here is dying a little too. The IT boom is over and belts are being tightened. The lack of good tuneable turbo cars is a factor and also the focus on bling/chrome rims over speed. The restrictions on car ownership for p-platers will be an issue, as thats where a large part of the market with high disposable incomes comes from.

I live in the country remember Troy, so city driving is ~2% of my time As Travers sad, my old WRX was not the best in traffic. But I did >60,000kms in that in just over 26 months.

At the end of the day I will drive both back to back when ready and pick from that.

EVO may be performance king, but STi still looks tougher. EVO looks straight outta Talon factory.

So many Lancers = so many EVO fakers = gay street cred.

I don't get this comment. The last real IT "boom" was nearly 10 years ago. IT salaries are still steadily increasing (10% last year) and there is a massive shortage in the highly skilled areas such as development and systems design/engineering.

The IT boom for "unskilled" tech monkeys has died (or moved to India). Anyone with skills is in the market at good rates.

Ie .net/java coder $800/day, IT PM $1000/day, Infrastructure specialist $1200/day. Sydney rates, so give or take couple of hundred bucks either way.

[wiggah]

Yeah thats spot on.
I don't see the relevance of IT jobs to the "car scene dying" unless he is talking about 2001.

coders @ $800/day?!? there must be massively inflated compensation money for living in such a shithole city or something.

i can't see the car scene magically dying off due to a single industry anyway, it's not like all the cars already getting around suddenly get put in storage, somebody always owns them.

At least in a bug eye you can hide the abortion with a headlight conversion kit etc.

Theres no hiding the rim job design of the new thing.

fixed Same with any industry really.

Bloody hell when were imprezza ever any good looking? Even the 22b is farkin ugly and really only scores points because the pump guards look tough.

[TonyJZX]

i reckon the 2003 model look pretty good (one after the bug eyed)

bit conservative for many though...

[DrNick]

I would like the MY06/7 motor in the MY05. That would make me happy.

4g63 in a MY03 would pootle along nice
