evo's

[Adey]

ok so ive chatted to a few people regarding evo's and a friend is putting his up for sale shortly. Going for a test drive next week. Its an evo 4, the one i want. with a few choice bits, fresh evo 7 bottom end with arp bolts all round. 4 head, turbo and ecu (needs to be changed im told?) uprated clutch, coilovers and a few other bits. Imported oct 2010 but blew the original engine and sat for about a year, 11 months mot 5 months tax. White but bonnet and front bumper need a respray. 129km on the clock. Hes asking strong money for it but, 1 its local and 2 the b'e was a new supplied one.

What should i look out for?
Whats it worth ruffly?
What can i get out of it powerwise?

Id sign up on MLR but im not feeling membership until i actually decide to buy one, so come on peeps sway me for or against one

I'm pro evo4 classic motor!

 

[Adey]

indeed, its the one that has always caught my eye, not stupidly in your face like the 5 onwards but not as dated looking as the 1-2-3. i like the 8 too, but a bit passed my price range.

 

[R5 Skywalker]

Completely agree. They're a lot more subtler be a good toy!

Do you know the history of the car, i.e who built the engine? If its all good then yea go for it the 4 would be my choice if i was to have one.

Plus if you need someone too maintain it or fix it, i would recommend this guy Chris.

The engine was built up by my mate, ex mechanic and trust his work. It's done a few k since built back up. The car was his brother in laws before that. Never driven one so once I get a test drive I'll get a feel for it

Great cars but eye watering running costs

 

[Adey]

It's a white one, needs the bonnet painting and front bumper really. They that bad Dave? Only other ones I've toyed with was a 5 on track but it must of been standard as I repeatedly laid waste to it in the leon round Combe
