okay wassup everyone need some insight here

Okay I have an evo 9 salvaged but im not sure which one is better for me in the long run. Should I get rid of the 9 and get an 8 or should I keep the 9 and get another 9 evo.

Which one is cheaper to fix for me in the long-run. I plan to sell the salvaged one for cheap and get one that hasnt been hit with a clean title. Whats the up's and downs of having the 8 opposed to the 9 vice-versa?

What are your overall plans with the car?

For the most part they are very similar, but there are some differences. Knowing what your plans are will out.

Well at 320 thats a very small goal, a TBE, intake and tune and you can hit that number. I would have to evaluate the salvaged 9 to see. Your going to spend more money for the second 9 compared to the 8. There are some motor differences in the motor between the 9 and 8, but with your goals your not going to notice any of them.. So it comes down to money, The 8 will have more miles, and the 9 will be more money, but if you find an unmolested 8 or 9 that has been taken care of they will both last you a long time. They both are great cars. you will enjoy either on.


Congrats and best of luck,

That 9 is going to take A LOT of work to fix. If you have some good hook-ups and can get deals on parts then it might be worth it, but the price of body panels on the car are expensive. Your probably looking ~2500 for just the hood, two front fenders and paint. I hope it all works out for your though. Good luck.
