Nice, I had an evo 3, mine wasn't a great example though. Lots of fun to drive and nothing keeps up through 1st and 2nd.

I do really like the early evo's can't help but think money pit tho!

^ I think he meant cars not bikes 
Had it about 4 months now mate, sold the integra for £4400 and bought this for £3300 fresh import
Yeah i dont like the rear ralliart sticker either, unfurtunately its been put on under the tint!!
When i get time im going to remove both and have the rear window rear tinted but a lighter shade
Money pit?
They are as reliable as any other evo infact theres a lot less to go wrong on them than anything Evo 4 and above! No AYC to go wrong. Just pure mechanical diffs
They are so light, 1200kgs compared to modern scoobies and evos which are at least 1400kgs
Its kept up with my mates evo 8 fq330 running 350bhp and has beaten a mates gt4 running 350bhp and easily left a p1.Still running standard boost as well (0.7bar) I have a walbro pump to go on then im getting ecu socketed for an ostrich trip and getting it remapped for 1 bar.
As standard they are
270bhp 228ft/lb
0 - 60 4.5 Secs
They will do quarter mile in low - mid 13 seconds
Its got:
Rebuilt Head
1.2mm Steel Headgasket
3inch Kakimoto Full exhaust system
HKS Mushroom Filter
Japspeed Large Alloy Rad
Spal 12" Slimline Fan
Uprated Plugs
Magnecore Leads
Earthing Kit
Cusco Front & Rear Strut Braces
5zigen Lowering Springs
Carbotech XP8 Front Pads
HEL Braided Hoses
RBF600 Brake Fluid

I stand corrected, my friend has just bought an EVO 6 and I dread to think how much she has spent on it already just doing little things that needed doing!!
How does the rust problem compare? just make sure it's been well undersealed I guess? Are they all imports without the underseal?
Book is 1240 and the rs is even lighter at 1190kg iirc
Sound deadening is minimal, no fancy carpeting or anything in the boot, bonnet is alloy. No extra weight of ayc or airbags.
I will get it on a weighbridge asap just to see how accurate those book weight figures are lol.
Its definately a LOT lighter than later evos which are meant to be about 1400kgs as i keep with my mates Evo 8 FQ which is running 350bhp and 350lbs/ft
Turbo comes in at 2600 and max boost is 3200
