The NUT Member 163 Member For: 18y 16d Location: Townsville Posted 03/06/08 07:22 AM Share Posted 03/06/08 07:22 AM Hey guys,Just wanted to get a few opinions from you all. A friend of mine is currently looking to sell his Mitsubishi Evo VIII which has approx 30,000km's on it, Tein coil over suspension upgrade, Brembo brake upgrade, ECU flash (not sure what system it is but apparently brings power up to approx that of the Jap sec Evo, has not been tuned by a tuner). Otherwise the car is stock and is in absolutely immaculate condition (he is a serious fanatic), has never been raced etc.So im entertaining the idea of possibly selling the T and getting this Evo. Does anyone have any opinions for me? Would it be a worthwhile change? Or would it be a car I would grow tired of quickly?Has anyone/does anyone own one?He is selling the car at quite a reasonable price, and is only selling it because he currently has the Evo, an Audi RS4 and just ordered the Audi R8, so he decided the Evo might need to go....Of course by posting this on here im expecting most to say stick with the T but any constructive advise would be much appreciated....CheersNut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evos are so good you can forgive the low rent interior and tinny body.I would own one, just not as a daily driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing too drastic but possibly a few more herbs might be on the cards (few things remain stock dont they?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
