Daily evo 1 for newbie?
I saw that the evo 1s are finally able to be imported to the USA. I'm am new to this site and to evos in general. I have a e30 that enjoy wrenching on and wanted to get a awd turbo car to rally on gravel and normal everyday use. I know the 4g63 is able to make lots of power on stock internals which is good because my goal is 250hp and daily driving. I would love to work on a turbo car
I had a few questions before I pulled the trigger on getting the car that I haven't been able to find answers to online.
Are the 4g63t parts and transmissions from the evo 8 and 9 straight swappable?
For the evo 1 is it possible to use the evo 3 side skirts, front bumper, spoiler and rear bumper?
Lastly Does anyone know tuners in South Florida and in the Tampa side of Florida?

Hey
Welcome aboard & thanks for posting
Pretty sure the 8 & 9 trannys can be swapped, as there are many similar parts. Heads & front diffs are different
Not familiar w/the EvO1 (what a rare bird in the US)
Please make yourself at home & search around for answers

1.) 4G63 bottom end parts should be same as long as it is 7 bolt, head from EVO 4~9 is rotated 180 degree(Look at where the cam gear seat) so no, EVO 4~9 head parts is not compatible. However, early EVO share running gear and head with DSM/Galant VR4, parts for those is easily obtainable.
2.) Yes, you can convert to EVO 3 bod parts if you like.
3.) Not a local US peeps so no answer in that regard.
Hope these info helps.

Alright thanks guys think I'm gonna pull the trigger and go for it. I do need to save a bit more pennies. I'm gonna talk to a few importers near and see if I can get a solid car from japan.

I would recommend against daily driving an Evo 1. They aren't very reliable, not very comfortable/well built, and some parts can be extremely hard to find. You will have downtime with this car, it's unavoidable.
You can convert just about anything on E1 to E3 spec pretty easily, but the E1 GSR is kinda junk and pretty limp (viscous rear LSD, less power, seats aren't as good, and they understeer). Grab yourself an Evo 2 GSR and a $500 beater, and enjoy the Evo as much as you can. There is so little difference between the 2 and the 3 (aero aside), and you won't pay the E3 tax. There is a lot of novelty to these cars since they are the first Evo and very rare - but make no mistake, they weren't built very well, arent the most fun to drive, and RHD in North America isn't the greatest.
