Nice! When did you get that?

Had it about 4 months now mate, sold the integra for £4400 and bought this for £3300 fresh import

Tints + rear window sticker = absolute failure.

Other than that its nice!

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

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

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.

Anything before an Evo 6 is an import.

This was fresh import and is MINT underneath. Im getting it undersealed for the winter in the next couple of weeks.

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
