Default Would you PX your 2wd cozzie for an evo 3

Just been offered a px on my 2wd cosworth against an evo 3. Is there anything to look out for that I need to know about?

Cheers
Dave

Chipped 270bhp, RS500 cooler, alloy rad, stainless exhaust, standard wheels, not messed around with. Know very little on the spec of the Evo at the min. No pics of my car as yet will take some in the morning. I was just parking up and got talking to the lad who wanted a Cosworth. I know very little about Evos so thought I'd come on here and ask.

If it was a daily driver maybe. For fun I wouldn't. As much as I love evolutions they are too capable for my liking.

It would be used as a daily driver. I currently use the cossie to do around 200 miles a week. lol.
