OK so I have an evo 1 that I was building in to a drag only car but life seems to be taking me other directions now so it may not be possible to get this done in the next few years like I intended so it ran prior to me taking her apart and was fun to drive on the street and first Gen evos really are the ultimate in the evo generations as they are light but my question is should I bail now or just sit on it? If I sit on it its just dead Weight and if I bail I will lose a lot of cash as I paid 13k for it which is a lot for a car just to tear it down and make a drag car out of it but I was after the performance potential of it so what are your thoughts on the situation?

I have a local Orlando guy wanting to trade me a nicer but high mile Toyota sequoia which I am entertaining.

 

sit on it, they're rare, they're awesome.

if you don't sit on it, you are not awesome and in turn later in life not sit in it.

 

yes that's another thing, I know I will never get an opportunity to get another one state side again which is why it's such a hard choice to make

 

Keeo it there's no way in hell I'd get rid of any evo 1-7 with how difficult they are to get

 

ill trade you a kidney and ill cover all the fees and shipping also will express it usps

 

lol I most likely will keep it the more I think about it and get her to run 8's like I originally intended

 

Why turn it to an 8 second car? Just keep her clean looking and fun to drive on the street. No need to gut the such rare car.

 

it was low mileage and great running but the previous owner was some rich kid who hacked it dsm style with stereo stuff and in the process destroyed a lot of the interior bits.


I really only wanted it for the performance value as it's an easy car to make fast.

 

As above

 

I'm not seeing the straight line advantage of a Evo (I/II/III) over a similary prepped 1G or even 2G DSM

What would you try selling it for? State titled as a Evo I?

 

Chris,

Save your self time just junk it. That'll **** some people off

Make it a complete circuit car that will be fun on the street. My .02

 

I dont know why anyone would even start a "three year drag project" especially to such a rare fun to drive early evo. I have been daily driving my early evo for ten years. no desire to drive anything else. there is not a better driving car on the planet (sub 30k) Do us a favor and sell it to someone who will put it to better use.

 

It is a shame that these rare cars end up in the hands of people who just destroy them. What do people think about when they decide to do this?

 

thats the problem they dont think
