    Evo 4's

    Has anyone had any dealings with these? good? bad? I think ive fallen in love with a car thats not french... thinking its time to leave clio ownership and move onwards to 4wd turbo power... Hybrid may soon well be up for sale soon, so whats a clean widetracked hybrid worth with heaps of history?

    hybrids are hard to sell atm, ive got a realy cleen green which ive struggle to sell at 1500 for 3 months, 12 month mot aswell..

    evo 4... i almost bought one around christmas time, a friend of mine has just got one aswell its nice and fast not as fast as i expected but it is fast, his is grey which imo does nothing for the car white is the way forward, the interior on the 4's isnt very nice either but easily changed.

    I am not a fan of the fours, especially seeing as i sat on the bumper of one in my hybrid.

    Buy a Six.

    had been thinking about this real hard the past few days, the way i see it my clio will never depreciate any more provided i keep on top of maintenance etc and im Itching to get back on a bike again ive been looking at ducati 916's I think keeping the clio is the way forward, will get a bike at the end of summer (cheaper) and a mental spec engine rebuild for the clio next year,
    Then i wont be needing an evo

    mr2 turbo?

    you can get a real nice rev3 turbo for around 4k with some nice mods

    few bolt ons will see 300bhp and they do go very well

    correct me if i'm wrong just going on past experiences, but evo 4's are hard to tune due to the management/ecu being restricted also they seem to have an issue with melting pistons maybe my mate had a bad one but it was forever getting engine rebuilds, the 5's and 6's seem to be stronger.....just..
