There is a 03 yellow evo with some mods. The engine is new and only has 10,000 miles. Or a 05 black evo that has 46,000 miles and is pretty much stock. I have wanted an evo for awhile and my goal with an evo is around 450-500 becasue it will still be my daily driver when it is nice out. Which would you go with?

Mods on the yellow:
Buschur Racing Cat-back
HKS 272 cams
RPS race clutch
ACT flywheel
Worx Tuning BOV
XS Engineering front mount intercooler
FIC 750cc injectors
Greddy Profec B electronic boost controller
Apexi turbo timer
Megan short shifter
Kartboy shifter bushings
Cusco titanium strut bar
Hotchkis rear sway bar
Custom harness bar on the floor in the backseat
BBS MR rims
25% tint
K&N intake

Mods on the black:
Greddy turbo back exhaust

 

totally depends. The yellow evo has very low miles on it and probably putting down some good hp already. The black has higher milage but 46000 isn't that bad. I would look at how they have been driven and maintained. You then have to ask yourself the question weather or not you want to do the build yourself ie. picking which parts yourself and going through the sweat and money and accomplishing something. Or you can take someone else work and add to it. Me personally I would go with the black and do my own build. I have an 03 evo with 74000 miles and not had any problems with the engine so don't let the milage part scare you off. good luck

 

yeah i know i like both. I mean the yellow i would have to put less money into it and i feel like they are rare and more of an eye catcher.

 

Thats true. Yellow is an eye catcher, I drive one myself. You just need to work out a goal of how much you want to put into the car. Getting an evo to a reliable 450 at the wheels does cost a little money and then also maintaining the car is also pretty costly. Don't always go with the easiest route(some one else put parts on the car)as this can sometimes come back to bite you.
