Pretty sure there will be a part out coming. I have had so much fun in this car but just cannot do it anymore. My car has been a trooper and never let me down. But I think I am getting to old or just scared that I will do something stupid in the car. I will wait until the new year just to make 100% sure.

I don't have plans for any other car, but when I do get one it will stay bone *** stock.

I'd like to once again respond to this sort of thread with:


Unless of course my knee goes out or something, then I'll be joining you in that PDK Boxster or whatever.

when you get real old you'll want to do silly stuff again in one, trust me

Hate to see you get out of it man, but I understand as I occasionally think the same till i take a ride in her again ...lol
Thanks to all your contributions to this forum!

I am going through that phase as well. Owned an eagle talon back in Montreal for 4 years, and the evo for 6 years. Every time I try to consider another option, such as a GTR or anything else, I am reminded that it will probably cost me 3x as much as it did, if not more, to build my evo.

Then I take a ride in her and remember how awesome she is.

Yes that is the hard part, for the price you cannot beat an evo. I just don't drive it the way I used to. I slow down for corners now. Even at the track I don't push it.

Try and think about what car you might replace it with, then go rent one for a week. Then at the end of that week drive your evo and see how it feels.

For me it has gotten pretty normal driving an evo. Then I drive something else for a while and when I get back in my evo the fire is reignited. Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder.

Ya I have heard that from a few people. That is what sucks about the evo there is nothing else like it. Mine has been very good to me.

that's a very good idea. I need to do the same with an e92 m3 (to know if I even want one at all, not to replace evo - nothing's going to do that)

There's nothing wrong with that. If it's fun on a cruise and that's all you want to do, more power to you. Doesn't need to be used strictly for autox and track days and that's it.

I'm almost there myself... Just no time or money with a 15 month old. Probably start by selling the FP Red and go from there. Its just sitting on jack stands with a blown headgasket and sold the wheels and my AR15 to go toward building the engine. Have to sell my bike too. The evo has just become a chore.

damn. I learned my lesson and got away from that about 4 years ago now. so much easier to enjoy near stock

Whoever said that the way to fall in love with your Evo all over again is to drive something else for a week speaks truth.


My overwhelming fear is not that I won't enjoy my Evo, but that something will break and I will not be able to find parts for it.

I drove my brothers stock evo 8 for about a week. No wayy

I had a chance to drive a friend's CLA45 AMG, and it reminded me why I love my evo.
Yes mine is heavily modded with a 6466 in comparison to the stock Mercedes, although the transmission is garbage on that thing. Dual clutch and it shifts slower than a Manual.

A buddy's evo 9 with an exhaust + tune beat the Mercedes. Interior is nothing special either, although I love the Recaro seats in that thing !!!
