I'm thinking of buyin my mates jap import evo 4 he's had it 8 years and can't afford to run it anymore. He's spent a lot of money doin bits on it but only wants £2,700 for it here's a pix
What's people's thoughts

nice motor seems like a steal for that price

I agree it's alot of bang for buck but the upkeep cost will be phenomenal and if anything goes wrong it could mean big money, if you can afford it without straining your wallet go for it!

Just don't go too far down the power route as its never ending and costly, get the bug and before you know it you'll be left with a 600bhp monster or so which guzzles gas :lol:

looks nice that dazza.

The only thing is they are getting old now and i know everyone raves about jap reliability but even the best parts wear out eventually. give it a thorough going over and at that money its a hell of a lot of car.

Thats cheap for an evo 4, normally get an evo 1 for that price and they say things that seem to good to be true often are so just be careful, even if it is a mate

It's got decat exhaust with straght pipe from turbo big intercooler. Had a few things done to the engine. Ap front race calipers and brakes evo6 rear brakes evo8 recaro seats.

I know what your sayin about goin down the power route my mates evo8 is 510hp now with a lot if work and money gone on the engine

I think thats one of the best looking styles.

Are the running costs going to hurt, does it need a friendly mot tester

I think everyone with an evo or scooby know a friendly tester :lol: every one around me seems to have stupid power and definately sound like decats!

i love evo 4's especially the black and white ones in Initial D lol!!

I'd keep your RS as a daily and keep this for weekends or trackdays.

I imagine the running costs are quite big for this.

But it looks awesome, love the wheels!

Daz ignore this lot blabbering on about running costs that's never important with cars. You know you just want it as a weekend toy

I know chicken I so want it

 

[Daveyb133]

then buy it mate

 

[Dazza1]

I would if the wife would lend me the cash

 

[Martin_172]

The running costs with an evo or any other jap 4wd car are massive though early egos are a bit better due to no yaw control to worry about but still getting older and older doesn't help things and rust is an issue on imports

Say it is a good winter car when it finally snows cheap to buy too plus if you will use it as a weekend car it won't cost too much!
