im 16, just got an evo 8
First of all, don't assume your opinion is fact.
Kids don't crash these cars cause they are fast, they crash these cars because they are tempted to prove that they are fast. If kids drove their EVO's like they Toyota Camry's they wouldn't end up sideways wrapped around a tree in the daily newspaper. The maturity level is what matters most, not the car.
BTW, I never said the EVO is a good choice for a 16 year old. I don't even think 16 year olds should be allowed to drive let alone drive an EVO.

^^pekpekbuster, i like ur name haha
i havent met a 16 year old responsible enough to drive anything fast or "sporty." if you're that person, prove everyone wrong...but still, i see older people drivin like douche bags all the time. im 22 and i still sometimes get the urge to boost and go WOT on the merging lane...but most of my actual "racing" stays on the track.

I know you are tired of hearing it but PLEASE drive the car for a while before you modd it. Yes they are fast, but it can be controlled with constant effort. Do your self a favor go to a driving school, learn how to handle the car, and dont let your friends ride with you for a while. This can be a lot of fun or it can be deadly. Please be smart!!!
dnt get a bov first everyone wants to do taht for some reason bc they like the noise it doesnt do anything for h/p and torque wise. just look up information on here. and u will find alot of good things and wat to do first to ur evo and good luck dude.
Im 16, just got a 2003 evolution VIII, im pretty new to the evos, i just got one as my second car(its a pretty big step up from a 93 civic hb lol). I just wanted 2 no some helpful tips about the cars, and was wondering if i should do any mods.(i was thinking of getting a bov first.) thanx
Don't in courage him, he's 16 yrs old. He needs to learn how to drive the car first b4 he starts going crazy and get the car to where he can't handle it and hurt him self and other's.
Man 16yrs old, I was hardly able to get enough dough for my evo 8 at 19, but still I agree with most of this guys, first bov, not really good mod if its a vta, remember sound doesn't always equal performance, next I would go to guys like buschur racing or AMS those guys would def. be able to teach and point u in the right direction, I previously owned a 96 eclipse gst, so I already had knowledge about the 4g63 which was why I was so comfortable buying n evo, n like everybody said learn the limit n how to drive the car, stock evo's are pretty fast already, n when driven right can rival even high end cars then figure out what u want, such as top end power, quick response etc, oh yeah, radar detector is def. a good mod lol
Congrats on the Evo buddy!!! Yes, so, forget about modding the car, you should start on saving enough money for all of the maintenance your car will need, like clutch($500+not including install) , tires($600+for cheap ones), timing belt+balance belt($150+ not including install) might as well change out the water pump while you are at it($180), among other things...
My first car at sixteen was a 95 eclipse gsx, and i ran the crap out of it, jumped it, j-turned it, , street raced it out in ontario ca alot!! all to impress my friends, my poor 95 finally had enough of me and died sadly and withered away in my garage. Great way to waste 20k!!!
Be safe, dont drink and drive, dont do drugs, stay in school, brush your teeth, eat a well balanced diet,......hehe
