too old, i'm so old that the Evo only costs 320 quid to insure :cool:

but i think the Fiesta is powerful enough for me, i've always wanted an Evo, but i think it's too extreme and attracts too much attention....

i think i'm going to have to take a look at this one next week

Mine is £240 a year with all mods declared :D

If the evo you linked to is standard then they're really not that fast. Don't get me wrong, they're quicker than most normal cars but a standard evo 6 will need a few tweaks to feel really fast.

You don't get that much attention. At the end of the day. It's just a 4 door jap saloon. You only get attention if you drive it like a buffoon.

is this one fast enough !
 
I don't have first hand experience of them but Clives Performance don't have a particularly good reputation. Least not on Scoobynet.
 
i can afford the Civic Type R, but it means i'll have to do a 4 day week..... because if i was going to drive a fast car all the time i'd go for that.... it is a much better car in real life than in the photos..it's just awesome

i have doubts about buying the 4 Star Evo for weekend use only, because it's just an expensive toy isn't it, plus for driving every day it's simply too old, because you cant beat the reliability of a new car

if i order the Type R i wont get it till April, because it's imported by order only, it wont be stocked in the U.K

it's so hard to work out what to do
 
Have you got any experience in owning and running a heavily modified car? If you're after an Evo get yourself on MLR and lurk for awhile doing your homework, there's some proper good lads on it.

My brother has had five Evo's on the trot now and every incarnation has it's foibles, he's just sold his 670bhp TRL Developments Evo X as he was sick of the CONSTANT issues with it. His favourite was his 8 MR apparently.

that Evo is worthless.... it is non-standard, you should never mix and match the bodywork of a modern classic, it totally devalues it...........only the engine and running gear

yes, i had a Firebird Formula 400 and two Drag cars.... the big difference is that the Yank V8 engine lasts forever, it's a very strong block....

600 HP from a 2 litre engine is really straining it, but 600HP from 7 litres is dead easy.

the Evo guys i've spoken to are fine, i spoke to one tonight, he's selling a 520HP Evo, he's spent 25k on it over the past 3 years.....he warned me to be careful of the expense.... he's replacing parts all the time, i saw his receipts, SCARY :eek:

The car is made in Swindon.
 
You're bangimg on about the type R, but have you driven the thing? It's not a patch on a well sorted evo (imo),- no drama yet double the cost of even that one you've linked

Incant believe for a second anyone serious about an evo would consider a fiesta st. If you are serious about something that might appreciate slightly there are some other good suggestions here too

Pretty much.

£15k should be mint TM Evo VI money? Or it was 2/3 years ago.

Also £16.5k for a P1? They were about £8-10k 2/3 years ago too. Looks like I missed the boat on that one.

no, a mint TM Evo is about 22k to 24k, 15k is for a Mint standard EVO 6, because they're all price competitive with each other

a much lower quality EVO 6 is about 5k to 10k, but the difference is quality and mileage is massive.

that Evo 6.....26000 miles......15K is definitely worth it, but i wont offer him that much, i'll go no higher than 14k
the thing is, there's loads of Evos being imported all the time, there's about 5 new ones every day
