yeah, there's no sense in putting yourself in a bind just for an Evo. it's an incredible car, but there are more important things in life. especially at your age. I would just stick with the Honda (acura). they're super reliable, easy and cheap to fix. plus that R is pretty bad *** anyways. good luck with whatever you decide to do. The evo is the ultimate car to own, but make sure you own it. and it doesn't own you. alot of people put there selfs in that situation. good luck.

i hope you dont mean without turbo

 

Any thought of the Eclipse GSX? =]

Only thing is, i'll have exact same car as my friend, only red with CF hood and stock turbo/ic.

car has a turbo back turbo xs exhaust with 3 inch cat (just passed e-check and inspection perfectly) , boost controller (16psi) and k+n air filter in stock modified airbox. All just installed and car is FAST for a wrx (i know i had a few and my evo) . Anyway its still $12000 obo!

 

nothing wrong with automatics. always in boost, don't loose any between shifts. it doesn't look like it's a turbo model with that price so yeah forget it.

 

..... if you talking about the mods I listed to do if the motor if it's shot. I obviously mean with a turbo. the car already has a decent turbo kit on it. that why I only mentioned the general parts he would need.

hahaha... i don't loose any boost between shift in the Evo... ahhahah no-lift-shift... ahhah j/k... I left that with the honda w/hondata. then you can do it anyways. full throttle shift would be a sweet option on the Xede.

A car with " JE pistons, rods, bearings, HKS crankshaft, ssqv blow off valve, camshafts, piston rings, head gasket, carbon fiber titanium exhaust system with 3 inch piping, the turbo, exhaust manifold, intake manifold have all been ported and polished, the motor itself has been ported and polished,..."


Think that engine used Nos?

 

if you don't go with the type r, then you should def go for the gsx. only prob with the teg besides that it might have been beaten on is that they are stolen ALOT. If the car isn't stolen then it is likely that parts of the car would be stolen.

 

I'm going tomorrow morning to take a look at the GSX. I'm not even going to bother with the Type-R because A: it was probably beaten on and B: the guy used Nos and the engine is probably shot or close to it being.

 

Drove in the GSX today. Man, that thing is FAST. The guy said last time it dino'd it hit 320whp.

However, the 2nd gear in tranny isn't working correct. A lot of grinding and no sync.
