this is the car, this feels right, it's newer, safer, more reliable and i can drive it all the time.... or one similar to this

come on guys i need your help, this is the sensible thing to do isn't it !!!!!!!!!!!!

originally you wanted something that will appreciate in value? evo x is the last evo, not even the "final edition" either.. there quite a few of them around, no way is this going to appreciate in value any time soon.. unless you're planning on keeping it for another 15 years in that mint condition.
 
I'd say 'stop dreaming' as that's all this thread feels like but on second thoughts, it's too funny to encourage it to stop.

Sorry I'm out, this thread is just ridiculous.

yes, it's a thousand quid more than the monster Evo and it looks like it's in perfect condition.

there's a Stage 2 kit for it that'll take it up to 400HP, this car isn't popular with the guys because it's Auto and not regarded as a ``true Evo``
 
I thought the FQ300 was lacking a fair bit more than just a 'stage 2 kit' to bring it anywhere near a 'proper' FQ360 or higher model
 


here's a photo of the 530HP Evo with the original gold wheels, this car has a far better paintjob than the 4Star Evo i saw

i prefer the look of this car, it's a classic, but the Evo X is more ``sensible``, this is going to be a hard decision to make

The decision is easy and simple, if your too scared or question your ability enough to not drive whatever Evo you dream up home you don't need nor want an Evo in the first place.
 
I would not get a DKR evo X. It's the most common colour and the 300 sst is slow. There was one at an OCUK RR day a couple of years ago and I think it made about 280bhp. Couple that with the fact it's 200Kg heavier than that evo 5 and you can guess just how slow it will be.
Also. You can't really push the power on them as the SST box can't take as much torque as the manual (without spending a fair amount of money on it).

With regards to the 530bhp one. It will be fine to drive. Just drive it like any other car. It's not like it's going to be 0 bhp - 530bhp in an instant. You'll soon get used to all the power.

thanks M8 i appreciate that, i'm just worried about the roads and getting lost that's all, but it does have Sat Nav.
...........that is if i can borrow the money and i'm not sure it's a wise thing to do anyway, the repayments are huge and there's other things i want this year too....another TV to start !!!!!
