If you have $0 in savings, then modding should be the least of your worries, let alone affording an Evo to begin with.

My only concern with upgrading from my Si to an Evo (besides insurance) is the reliability. The 8s are 9-10 years old now. Are they still holding up as being reliable?

Thanks for any info!

There's a guy in the forums who's been driving his Evo for 300k miles. And I think he had to change the engine somewhere in the 200's
