Non ford

[Ed_van_Dijk]

My mate has got himself a Evo 3 that i had the chance to drive yesterday so i jumped at the chance, I have never drove anything this quick before, its an import with the restrictor!

 

i just thought i would post up a couple of pics as i was shaking once i got out of it i loved it so much!

Anyone else had any experience with these, I think i prefer the Evo 3 to the newer ones!

 

Its going for a full respray and everything cleaned up and the engine is being rebuit during next winter, hes hoping to have it pushing apox 400 horses!

 

anyway here it is!

looks nice.. you can just tell its quick... but it does look dated now compared to the newer models.. not that thats a bad thing

far from jap crap! my mate had one a few months back! i drove that and i agree they are impressive cars! awesome infact! look old but beat most things on the road!

 

good idea to have the engine re - built so you know its all fresh and good! as my mate just left it and ended up getting the dreaded bottom end knock! so a jap mag brought it from him as there drift project car!

I like it, apart from the wind deflectors

 

How much did he give for it?

[Ed_van_Dijk]

I was only joking about Jap crap, Its just im jealous, I want one!

 

Imo I think Jap and german cars are the way forward, Later in the day yesterday i drove my mates new focus ST and i prefered the evo by quite a bit!

 

Think he paid £4000 for it, which i thought was a good deal!

you say that till you need it serviced... then youll wish you had the st

I don't like Jap cars at all..

 

Ok they are fast and reliable, but when it comes to fixing something, it gets complicated.

 

Not to mention the fact that I think they look aweful. Just no character.

they are awesome machines. The bodyshop I used to work for had the contract for the local Mitsy dealer.

Funny how it was always me that drove up there, when it was an evo to pick up!

drove most models, from 4-8. Very fast cars, handling is spot on, but they have no character.

 

They are built to go fast. does exactly what it says on the tin!

 

not cheap to run tho, not like the good ol' 'scorts!

[rs2k2008]

my face out the evo bunch, so in your face. Will own one of these one day when i can afford the insurance lol

[fekyo]

Badman car! Love these in all-black (bodywork/wheels/lights/windows).

[spanner]

Had the pleasure of navigating in the NOrthern ireland Forestry championship in a EVO6 real fast car and good handling, must say they are very forgiving when you get it out of shape.

 

But still don't think i would buy one.
