No. end off ,attracts dirt & shit & that alone is enough to say No to lubing gears
Definitely. stay away form the pipes or boards and nothing is going to break or bend, unless some backmarkers decide to take you out. i have had a few hits on both my Evo 5's but nothing bent or broken yet!
i also run the gears in the front and rear gearboxes dry. you will also notice that tends to pick up less dust than when you lube it.
@ C_Suzuki. the cars are very similar, but there are many factors that affect the performnace of a car. if we don't take any of the factors into consideration, i would say that the cars are almost identical performance wise, the Evo5 has bit of advantage in that it has a lower CG and better steering system.
