Yo EvoM population. I'm a S2K owner and 2nd Gen RX-7 owner. I'm here to shop around and learn about Evo's. I will be looking to sell the S2K in the spring and hope to find an Evo VIII and if some luck on my side, I might be able to own a IX. I like the S2K, but they its too similar to my FC. High Revving, light weight, not enough luxary critters.

S2K is stock silverstone, just something to get good gas mileage and get around town....by get around I mean I've put 12k miles in 6 months.

My FC has been an on going project since I was 18(now 23). It made 284 rwhp on a hybrid/stock turbo and lightly ported motor. Now its sporting an aggressive ported Cosmo 13b with a 35R; made around 325 on 7lbs.

Thanks.

 

sounds good man theres plenty f/s all the time just go troll over there and leave pms cuz u cant post yet.

 

Welcome tho Cyborg!

 

at least its not like the s2ki forums, they make you pay money inorder to sell anything there.

 

yea im new to the site as well and im in the same boat im 16 and im looking for an evo as a first or second car theyve been the evy of my eye for along time but i cant seem to find one in my area and besides i also need a job gorsg it sucks right now too much to do and not enough time

 

16 yrs old and looking for an evo huh? Cant you even ride a bicycle without the training wheels?

 

Wow that was great but I think you meant training wheels.

 

I use to think like you when I was 16. Boy was I naive. You can't get a car without a job, so get a job, save the pennies, buy the Evo when you have a better job. Trust me, throwing 70% of your paycheck at a car is a HORRIBLE idea.

 

and don't go cheap into an evo either... next thing you know you will need a clutch and realize... oh ISH i can't afford this

 

Is the premature clutch wear mostly on the 8's or is it through out all the Evo generations?

 

for the IXs its supposed to last for 10-13k miles and 30-40 launches. Mine lasted till now (22k miles) and only because I fcked it up launching and now im slipping and gotta spend some Gs on the exedy twin.

too answer your qustion, yes, they are all equally weaksauce.

 

So upon buying used Evo's make sure previous owner replaced the clutch with someting else than stock. Got Cha.

 

dont do it

 

Not enough luxury critters? The Evo maybe the wrong car dude, they're differently not that luxurious. Other then that, they're awesome, and good luck to you.
