Hi guys, I've been here for a few years just reading and browsing the F/S section. I am about to start Evo shopping for real and I'm excited. I used to have an STi and currently have an 06 Si Civic, but the Evo 8 has been my dream car for a while now and soon I will be financially stable enough to get one. My budget will be roughly 13-19k. Any advice would be welcome (yes I read through all of the newbie stickies already....several times lol)

PS: Am I the longest tenured member on here to never own an Evo? I have to be close.

 

good luck in your search

Get an evo 9 instead of the 8. So many revisions to the 9 that it makes it the obvious choice

 

could I switch over the front bumpers? I just love the 8 front end so much more

 

good job

 

O_o

 

im in the same boat. really joined here to learn before i buy. cant wait!

 

good luck.i looked for a month before i found one that i liked.take someone mechanical(if you aren't yourself) with you to look at them when you go.

best part about the EVO 8 is you can buy one that is already a beast for under 20k.i found one with huge upgrades making big power and got it a the same price as a stock EVO 8 would have been.

 

Yes, the bumpers are interchangable.

And PS. no you are not, I still have no evo.
Got you beat by 3 months

 

good info on the bumpers....and curse you for beating me
