Do we have an Evo owners thread?

But then they're worth 2-3k so a bargain IMO. I've got to know the abilities of my car and it holds the road very well and when the back end is encouraged via lift off it's great fun. Not as mental as a DC2, but then it's a saloon!

I agree. DC2 is an amazing machine. I wouldn't mind a CL1 as I do prefer the looks over the CH1.

i'm looking at getting mine back on the road within the next month or so, time dependant, got a lot coming up over the next month so its gonna be hectic, really should wait till i have time off in april but i'm going nuts driving the civic everyday, time to get the silver beast on the road again and get back to enjoying driving!

My commute is 80 miles a day, I can't justify using an Evo for that. I will use it 1/2 times a week though and the plan is to have another car for the rest.

Should be picking it up this week.

Anyone here use Eibach lowering springs on their Evo's?

This thread is disappointingly short on pics.

Come on, Evo owners!

ChrisD. · 17 Mar 2013 at 13:06

I'll put some up once I've picked it up!

Picked it up.

Here it is at its second home.

Smile ear to ear, loving it.

I love evo's but there's no way my work journey could sustain one.

Rybo89 · 20 Mar 2013 at 07:59

Very nice and awesome colour! You got any plans for it? Think i would have to change the wheels and get a carbon lip for it.

Hows the power?

Maximum Triceratops · 20 Mar 2013 at 17:10

Perfect! enjoy.

Vita · 20 Mar 2013 at 17:42

Looks awesome. I have to admit I'm looking at Evo 5's.

They look so awesome! Could never bring myself to own one though.

ChrisD. · 20 Mar 2013 at 17:48

If you can afford one, do it, don't muller about it, just buy one.

No plans, I like the wheels and car as they are.

I could in the near future. I will have to have a go in one. They look awesome, but I read somewhere the 4's and 5's had weak blocks or something like that?

dazza1980 · 20 Mar 2013 at 18:21

Mines the black 8.

should do the devil hid look makes the front end look better

4 has a weak block due to crankwalk, 5's onwards are fine.
