[caymanr26]

if you can afford one like the grey one go for it - looks wicked - if you wanna sell your wheels let me know

 

[Big Iain]

yeah what wheels are they they look good!

 

[dutty_112]

i want ur wheels

 

[SCOTTY2HOTTIE]

dont sell after xmas mate, jan and feb is the worst months in the car trade! sell before xmas, when prices are jacked up

 

[caymanr26]

rota wheels they are

 

[portal172]

Can you afford to service it every few of months? Not to mention the extra fuel you will use.

 

[Ross16V]

if youcan offord the 8 then go for it, so much better looking than the seven.

 

[BREMBO]

Get an Evo 8 MR ... minted minted car!

 

[Neil G]

Good cars but the more I see them the more ugly they look.

Different league in terms of running costs as well...very, very expensive.

Go for it if you can afford it

 

[Neil G]

Go for the 6 or 8....seven is worst looking.

 

[Chris n nic]

Are the 7 and 8 almost the same to look at minus a few small changes?

Chris

 

[DanCup]

get an 8 in that flint greyey type colour!

love it!

 

[Zmaster2k]

my mate has just put down deposit on an evo 9 fq320

propper jealous!

 

[SpaceMonkey]

MASSIVE MASSIVE step imo.

Good, but I'd rather a TM VI than a VII tbh

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

What's the average length of ownership of an EVO? lol

Are you a lottery winner?

7's looks the nuts

 

[Englebert]

That numberplate could probably buy you an EVO!

 

[prince_zorro]

Keep the 172 man,,much fun to driveand it looks greatttt..

 

[Christopher]

VI TME imo.

what about a RA spec C scoob too?

 

[TJ182]

Dont they need servicing every 4500 miles?

 

[DebV6]

If you can afford it then go for it!

 

[sh33n]

VI TME for me; but I couldn't afford to run that to work everyday.

If you can fair play, do it!! I very much doubt you'd regret it!

 

[Iain C]

remember real men go for rwd

 

[Stevie]

defo 8!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

It'll last 6 months tops

 

[Leeph1]

my old man had a evo 6, serviced every 4500 miles or six months.

he went through 2 clutches in a year both costing 700 quid each time.

there bloody lovely but very expensive to run

 

[hoggaz]

A lad I work with said he had a mate who who had an evo 8, not sure which model and it cost him about £1 a mile to run... I dunno how true this is.

I don't think a standard Evo 8 will cost £1 a mile to run ..
think your mate's Evo 8 must be a highly mod one ..
and I will only use it 2-3 days a week, probably 70-100 miles/w ..
= about 4000-5000 miles a year .. so only one service each year ...

oh .. coz I'm going to sell my 172 soon ..
but how much I'm looking for?
02 reg 172 with 42,000 miles
16" rota light alloys
apex -40mm springs
k-tec stealth exhaust system

around £5.5k??

 

[hoggaz]

Don't think you'll strugle selling it for that price. Ask for 6, you never know.

cheers mate ..

three gargaes???? a think he will be able t afford it lol

 

[R20 CWH]

massive step, but a bold quality one, so why not!

Evo 8 FQ 330 for me.

 

[shepdogg]

oil change every 3000 miles, full service every 6000, i came from an evo 4 at 350 bhp to the 182, and in all honestly i would say i prefer the clio 182 a lot more. evos are just money pits

 

[R20 CWH]

^^ surely it was great for a while despite the cashflow equation?

giving an evo full beans and the banter with the turbo etc :approve:

 

[Fletcher]

Theres a Gun metal grey evo down the road from me, lovely looking cars imo. When i have enough space for a second car thats what i'm going to get.

 

[Justin]

those 8's are awesome!
