how long do evos last, in terms of mileage? i heard somewhere that when u buy an evo u have to sign somethign saying u will only drive it on the weekends... is this true?

 

efript how old are you?

only drive it on the weekends, are YOU for real asking this question

 

why would u ask how old i am after asking that question? thats what i read on some other forum...

 

It's true, and you can only drive it to and from autosport events (not at) or they void the warranty.

ok well anyway, how about reliability? will these things go for a good amount of miles?

 

please post a link to where you saw this dumn thing. if Ferrari don't do such things than what makes you think that would on a car that cost so little? think about it this way, you buy the car than it is YOUR car and you can do whatever the **** you want with it (paint on it, eat in eat, paint it blue and dump it in the ocean). the only car IIRC that had a contarct signed on purchase is the ENZO. i think the contract stated that the owner can not give it for magazine test drives, can't park it as a collector item and not drive it at all etc.. i think even that is bull**** but it makes more sense than signing contacts about the little EVO.

 

because you seem to accept that idea as remotely possible. unless you live in communist society you can drive whenever you want. or in your case whenever your parents let you.

 

There is only one car in the US that I know of with any kind of driving restrictions and that is the Porsche 959. You can only drive that 2500 miles a year.

Link to 959 story.

 

Well the 4G63 has been around for about 14 years now. Mitsu has had problems with the trannys hooked up to the 4G63's for some reason or another. I would hope that our's is stronger than a 93 GSX(and I am sure it is). The EVO engine is based on there rally car engine; so I would have to say that it will be very reliable for a performance car. Remember it puts out over 135HP per liter(stock that is).

 

So.......is this car a 100k mile car? 150k mile car? 200K mile car? I would think the tranny would die first.

 

I would say 100-150K, and that depends on how you maintain/baby your car. I will always change my engine oil around 2,500-3,000K and change the tranny/diff at around 10K or so.

 

As long as you take care of it, the car should last forever.

 

how long has the Model A's lasted? Basically you can make anything last for as long as you want. If you have the $$

 

want relibility? buy my honda so i can get an evo.
