Will be moving abroad within a year. So i've been thinking, why not own/drive an Evo before i go.

Don't have a fortune to spend, around the £18k mark.

Don't want to give up the pace either, so was thinking about an Evo 8 MR FQ320/340 with decent mods to be close to the magic 400.

There seems to be so many different models, like the old classics.

This the model i should be lOOking at??

 

If your not going to keep it long,for 18k there are some Evo 6's about with 500+bhp You may have some change left aswell for fuel

 

Noooooooooooo don't do it Gaz. You've put to much into your car to go throwing it away on an Evo.

FQ MR340 won't be as involving to drive as your STi or as fast

 

Do it mate , the 8 MR is the one to have

wifes got an evo 9,very good was going to get an RC 380 pack but realy she dosnt need it but they are good with it on you will get a 9 for that money mrs are old now but look good so enjoy if you go over

 

Really really weird Gaz. I think we have a connection................

I've recently been toying with the thought of a Gunmetal 340 MR (like Lukeys). Looking on the MLR there have been some for sale at decent money mapped to around 400 bhp.

Not 100% sure what to do yet so going to get Xmas out of the way and have a think but feel its just something I need to do to get it out of my system once and for all.

Thinking of a test drive but worried that I'll want one!

 

i sold my my03 sti ppp just before i moved to sweden a year ago, just came over with my jeep wrangler, missed the power, so i went back to the uk 4 weeks ago and picked up a late 03 fq 330 and came back to sweden with it, love it more than the scoob, cant really say why, just do.

 

I've always fancied an Evo too eventually but the running costs have put me off til now I must admit.

 

Since the day I went out in a mates evo6 i've always wanted one. But after owning a Scooby I can't help but feel it is a step sideways. I think the impreza is more than a match for it and the flat 4 sounds so much better than any evo If you want to change then the only way to go is a skyline

 

agree r34 gtr top boy me mate had sti then went to the darkside (evo7) and went back to a sti,he said evo quick and nice car but the amount that went wrong withit and the service costs was unreal

 

Just been reading some comments on the results from the Top Gear survey.....you know...the one based upon customer satisfaction and stuff.....

Well........apparently, the Mitsubishi Evo came second to bottom on running costs and apparently many owners (even though expecting pretty expensive costs) were shocked at just how much they cars cost to run, insure and maintain.
Also one in three owners said "never again".
I did however (as you'd expect) score well on driving experience.

Oh yeah...comments were in Top Gear magazine, so I guess they would know the results.

The Impreza didn't fare much better mind you!!!!!!

 

I say do it if you're gonna be selling the Scoob when you leave anyway !

Where are you off to Gaz ?
