after having a std car, then spending a shed load on mods on my evo 6 - i personally would rather buy another escos with stg 3 already done - my esocs had a manky exhaust and phase 0 chip butotherwise std - i set a budget of 1200 quid to put right the tatty bits - up to 3K now doh! and most oif that is one upgrade bits or replacement std bits of trim etc.
