Okay so I have a dilemma that has been bothering me the last week. I have 2 offers on my Evo IV that has been sitting since May and still is just Sitting . I have a offer for Well Over what I bought the car for and what I have into it. and another guy that wants too trade strait across for a slightly modded Evo 8. So I would like to still have 2 Evo's one for DD and one for fun as a weekend/ track car. On the other hand I really could use the Money to help me get out of Debt and help with my down payment on a house. still thinking it over. I have had that Evo 4 for 2 Years now and would love to have it forever, but I may be thinking its time to move on I can't believe I am thinking this tho. What do you guys think?

If I had 4 cars... I'd sell one, especially if I was getting more out of it than I put into it.

Eric I don't think there is anything wrong with spacers on the Evos. If you install them right and get the right ones they are fine. Most of the Cars cars at the track run them.
I would prefer not running spacers, but sometimes you need to. I know that the Perfect setup for my car is a Enkie RPF1 18x10.5 with a +15 offset sits perfect no spacers need front or rear. Just look up offsets and setups on the aggressive wheel thread and see for your car. I would run a 18x9.5 with a +25 to +30 offset for a aggressive wheel for you. some others run a higher offset but you need spacers for those. If I had a stock Evo (body wise ) I would like to have a set of RPF1's in 17x10 with a stretched 245 or 255/40 tire. Nice and aggressive for 17'S
The thing I don't like is the fact that they have such an impact on geometry....scrub radius & SAI, not to mention the added stress on the rack, tie rods, ball joints, bushings & so on.

American Window Tint in Layton is the ****! By far the best tint job I've ever had. Darren is WAY good. Lifetime warranty on the tint and it's so close to the edge of the window, it'll bring a tear to your eye! 801 547 0263 His name is Darren. Tell him Evan with the blue evo sent you over. His prices are good.
I need someone to settle me down girls keep trying to do it and it works for a minute...then back to being me

My friend Chaz still is doing tint and clear bra if you need another source he did my car tint & clear bra headlights n hood

I hear ya man, there is a few things to keep in mind though. You say it would help you get outta debt but if you got a traded evo 8 slightly modified thats not really going to help. You could get the cash from the IV and pay off debt, buy a cheap DD or just drive one of the other cars you have for a DD.

The IV is hard to come by it's not something that you see alot of...**** it's not something you see alot of in the states your a lucky guy ya know but it's all on you just please don't jump on taking any trade offers if your going to make some money off the car then make some money off it.

Well I sold both of my other BMW'S and just have the 2 Evos now. So I would still need another car for DD. I may be getting a Promotion now that a Guy high up at my JOB is getting canned for stealling. So If I get this promotion ( I Really Hope) I will for sure keep the Evo and be able to get a house no prob. , But nothing is set in stone yet.

On another note did anyone hear about that carzzy Bus incident in Canada? I don't want to ride a bus again

Jake has it right too. It was only around 10 hp iirc and that is when I decided it was fine to run the hfc.
Ah, ok. Yah I had my old 88 RX7 at that dyno day too. I remember being pretty pumped I put out more horsepower than your car (but less torque), although I think it was only like 2hp more

I do remember wanting an evo really bad after seeing yours, so maybe that's why like 4 years later I ended up buying one... you influenced me subliminally and you didn't even know it!

People are crazy. Especially in countries like Canada.

It was alright... Too bad I'm a man/woman when it comes to driving. Usually both hands on the wheel, my cars have always had a name, and I feel they are a part of me, and seperate... at the same time

I influenced you, nobody gets inspired by blue cars, except to pull them over
