Hey guyss. I'm a total newb with evo's. Right now I got a civic si. Not an evo by any standards. Next weekend I'm goin evo shopping so I'll have one very soon. I joined early to try n get some education on evo's so I no what to expect when I take it home. A civic is nothing compared to an evo. N.A to turbo is a big change. I no alooot about the civic. But I'm gettin myself into a totally different thing here. If u guys got any pointers or tips for me to help me know what I'm gettin myself into. P.M. me or comment bck. Anyhting. Thnks guysss.

 

Hey bro, I also went from a Honda to Mitsubishi. Except I had an RSX Type-S. The clutch is the first thing you'll notice and need to get use to. Lots of people on this forum DID NOT break in their evo's either. So thats up to you. When you get it do an early oil change at 1K miles and be ready to buy a new clutch soon if you drive a lot. I think thats what everyone told me when I got my Evo...

 

I recommend not getting a highly modified EVO because you don't know how hard they drove the car. Lots of beat up EVOs out there. Maybe going to the dealer and picking up one would be a good idea. You don't want to take over someone's else's problems. Drive the EVO and decide which model you want to fit your budget and pick a mod friendly dealership. My dealership has a tuner on staff that tunes

Good Luck

 

The clutch is fine if ur gettin a new evo. It all depends on how u drive.

Wat do u mean lots of ppl in this forum did not break in their evo??? The majority of members have broken their evo ( the most correct way is to have the car warmed up- drivin it slow a lil first. Then boost occasionally which is around 4500 max rpm, u dont want to baby the car and u dont want to redline the car.

Jus search there been threads on ppl saying new to the evo and stuff. Lots of info has been covered. Jus drive it slow cause this car is quick and ppl tend to crash cause they think their invincible ( b/c they dont kno how to control the car).

 

Oo.. Well I dunno if I'm gettin a new evo or a used one. It'll probly be an evo 9. My dad is a mechanic n is goin wit me to get it so he's gonna check it out so I won't havta wrry. He notices everything from site. But it depnds wht we find and what deals we can get on the evo if it's new or not. I mean I no goin from a civic to an evo is diff. But I mean yea I won't drive it hard and I do drive alot so I'm gonna havta get use to the clutch quick and I'm gonna havta get one on hold as a bck up. Thnks guys. Keep the tips coming.

 

Well which ever way you go, your making a good decision on a great car. Welcome.

 

Thnks mann. I've been tryin to get an evo for a while. I can't wait N I hope this works out very soon.

 

I know what your going through, I had at s#!t eating grin on my face for like a month when I got mine even if I wasn't in it or driving it. Just the thought that it was finally mine was cool.

 

Bro I'm cheesin it rite now knowin I'm goin this weekend to look at them n possibly buy one this weekend. Juss imagine when I actually pull off the lot wit it.. omgggggg LoL

 

yea man i went from an acura integra to an evo...and omg it was the best decision i have ever made in my life. but then again ever since the 8's came out i always wanted one and my dream finally became a reality.

 

Well. We shall see what happens saturday when I go. Hopefully I'm leavin for one. But I mean. life ain't fair n I'll probly havta wait a lil longer. But If not I'll post pics of my car I got now n the evo. When I traded my old civic for the si I took pics of them together.. Guess I gotta do it again lol.

 

the guys were right when they mentioned beatdown evos. I purchased mines used. desperately wanted one that time and couldn't afford the new dogs with the markups. Now it seems like i spend about the same amount replacing the parts into new parts which in turn could've got me a new evo hehe. Just remember keep it safe and first time u do full throttle with that baby, it ain't gonna be no honda I gave up an S2000 for mines.

 

yea thnks. It's gonna be soo tempting to juss floor it. new or used. But I gotta try n control myself. I hope I'm not pushed for time goin sumwhere LoL. I mite be goin thurs or friday now to check them out not saturday which is even better lol. Hope it goes good. Who knows lol. It's me. I'll get the shaft knowin my luck lol. N havta wait a few months or more lol.
