I really like the look of the 2 with all its random bits of plastic stuck all over it, its got a kind of "function over form" look about it

You seem to hear nothing but reliability issues with them though

Take a look at the Model Info on MLR

A girl down the road from me had an Evo III, the transfer box went on it after a couple of months and cost her over Ł2k + to get a new one.

If you want a serious EVO 2 RS - take a look at this one for sale.....

Has been sucessful this year at TOTB and in the Time Attack rounds.

Awesome car that one Cola, but TBH most people buying a 2 only do so cause its cheap, and that one is dearer than sheady's evo

It's alright, I always get you and Phil confused as moody fookers who kick off on internet forums

Cola

Fair, there's a good ten of us about

I think you mean phil and dingy, i dont ever get moody, im always the one still laughing at the end

At least my mistake was an accurate one

Cola

lol - mine wasn't a mistake

Anyway, I don't play with you kids any more... just wanted to point out that alas, sometimes you ARE wrong

You "hear" of crank walk on all the Evos up to and including the V....

By hear i mean i actually know people in ral life that it has happened to, not just some internet rumour, are you trying to imply its not actually a real problem

gingeRS

impressive engine though

Are the transfer box problems because of how the engine sits in the bay?

Anonymous

Not really, the later ones are transverse too and yet are very strong

Mr Whippy

Had my E2 for a year now, and its not put a foot wrong

Cost less than 3k, goes well and grips like a bastard!

Chip,
I have only "personally" heard it happening on tuned cars, but have read internet rumours of it happening on high mileage standard cars....

How easy is it to whack a new set of thrust wshers into an evo engine while its still in the car?

And is that all that causes it, as ive not ever personally inspected one with the problem

ive heard of the crank walk problem on engines with as little milage as 7000 miles, but i think it is still quite rare,

the evo 3 rs is the one to go for if you can put up with the lack off electric windows,

stay away from any thing with a fuel cut defender,
dont go much above 1.1- 1.2 bar on stock internalls,


get one, my old mans got a 4, and fuck me it moves,
276 bhp at o.9 bar, and revs all the way to 8000 with falt line boost,

great cars

One of the ugliest cars on the road, I know that much!

And a proton

The evo's that look nice are the IV V VI the rest are just plain ugly in stock form.

Not rare at all unfortunately. Have a read on the MLR, it seems most early evo's have a design fault that will make this happen a lot.

I love the look of the Evo 4
