Yea the way the fenders come out of the evos door so suddenly to get wider is alot like the BMW e30 m3 or the Lancia evo fenders. Mix that with a pearl flake paint and it look like a completely different shade in different angles.

Here is also a pretty cool pic a painter showed me of how angles in light play with shades on cars. These are the exact same colour, cover the middle with your finger:

 

Hey guys, moving this here https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...l#post11965086

 

It must be the hotspot for low milage evo's at the moment, haha! and yeah it's pretty much mint but I am extremely **** about interiors especially. pretty much everything exterior wise was perfect, engine so clean. When I say bring it back, I truly mean bring it back to brand new shape all around.

Thank you!!

It was clean. I had a third party go in and do a PPI on it before I flew out there. Engine was super healthy and I had plans for it anyway so the mods didnt bother me much. The guys did a hell of a job on the paint work because until they pointed out what they did, I honestly couldnt even tell.

Thank you!! I am thrilled.

haha right! I thought all the evo's I was seeing were dented or something. So strange!! But this was the best era for cars, ever IMO. The aggressive body lines and cars that actually have hips just makes me feel tingly....I miss real cars

That is wild. I love all the angles in this car. Cars nowadays are just minimalist smooth and boring.

 

Enjoy it my friend! I just picked mine up after getting belt service done - which was a must imho

 

Thanks man! Looks clean!!! every time I see an evo I smile. Still can’t believe I have one. I’m sure you feel the same about that beauty. The true “look back” car. It’s stunning.

 

100%. Like you I have much more expensive cars. The EVO I love it. Can't stop. I hardly seem them on the road around here.

 

Same. Don't get me wrong, I love Ferrari / Porsche and am very passionate about the brands and my cars, but (and anybody who actually knows me will agree) for the last 15 years when I see an EVO, the world stops. I turn into a full blown kid again. I get my phone out and immediately film and take pics and send them to my good buddies. Sadly this has only been a 2-3 time occurrence over the last few years. e46 M3, Evo, a proper s2k, e36, mk5/mk6 VW's and other cars from that era always break my neck. I am so excited to get this car here to enjoy it and start the process on making it what my 16 year old self would have wanted it to be. I felt more emotional when I bought this car than when I bought my first Ferrari, and that is saying a lot. Still surreal to me that I own one of these and it's the people on this thread that are making it that much more of an enjoyable experience so thank you all. It feels nice to be on a forum that isn't full of pompus D I C K S, which is what I've become so used to with these other brands. You guys rock.

 

same here! I shouls have bought one new - live and learn

for what i paid for a mint stock one - people are like you can get an evora you can get new GR blah blah.

As I tell them - the evo comes closest to my Lotus Elise as a 4 door.

I love the purity of driving it.

You either get or you dont.

Glad you are enjoying yours. I went to a big evo shop today - lots of eye candy. Was fun

 

Awesome ride and cool to see how passionate you are about the platform! Hope it continues to bring you tons of smiles!

 

thanks a lot man!! Smiles are the goal

 

Congrats! Drive it in good health!

Question. How did you find such a great example? I’ve been toying with the idea of getting own for awhile and figured let’s do it haha

 

They are out there - search diligently

 

Any suggestions? I’ve started checking daily on BAT, the for sale section, and all the car sales sites. Prefer a transaction directly with seller, so I guess I’ll have to be patient

 

honestly I just browsed BAT, cars.com, and other basic used car sites super casually for a few years just waiting for one to pop up. When it’s not your only car it gets a lot easier because you don’t NEED it. Just be patient. Look frequently. One will come up. I’ll keep an eye out for you as well.

 

True, easier to be patient to look for the right one. Took me a year of looking before I stumbled across my 997.1 GT3.

Just want to check those bucket list cars now. I’m on the ‘let’s get those circa late 90’s/early 2000s Gran Turismo Japanese cars I could never afford’ right at this point in time haha

Thank you for keeping an eye out!
