Tundra has major issues... i should know, they are built in San Antonio by kids from my school (not kidding).

The Audi is a mainanance *****. Its hard to work on, parts are expensive, and they have electrical issues.

The EVO is not alone... it has a ****ty clutch... but thats just about it : )

sebba give up on the Evo clutch, its not that bad. its the people who drive them. My clutch lasted 41k with tons of bolt ons and when I pulled it out it still had life left on it. A EvoM member I was just talking to has 116k on his 03 Evo that has been making 330 HP since it had 33k on the car and he ran the stock clutch to 95k miles


IMO that is not that bad just dont launch the car every stop and your good
