Insurance twice as much
it's a hundred quid cheaper for my Evo than the Escos.
do you think thats got any thing to do with the escort not being standed?
just out of intrest which do you prefur to day day2day escort or evo and which car is best on track?
More than likely
But there again, the Evo has a few light mods and is an import which I believe costs slightly more in insurance.
Day to day driving, definitely the Evo, I am averaging 29-30mpg on a long run and about 25mpg round town. The cossie on a run is less than 20mpg, I haven't driven it as such 'round town' because the speed humps prevent that.
I haven't had the Evo on track yet, I wouldn't have trusted the standard Brembos, the discs warp like hell. I managed to warp mine after less than 2k miles - but this week I had Alcon 6-pots put on off an FQ400 and they are brilliant
I also had some MR wheels put on too, so now I have the old wheels specifically for track use
Scuse the crap quality of the pics.
