Yes they are the same to mod, the point being if you buy the slightly cheaper 320 as appossed to buying the 340 because it is the ECU you are changing any way,
I have just brought a load of bits in the states great price
So hopefully soon will see knocking 400 brake giddy fucking up

Yes it is a shame but what can you to do about it 
As said above, if you cant afford to buy one or/and run one then dont buy one
The escos is such a lovely car, and i will be sooo gutted but there is NO way i am using it everyday, think how dirty it will get
And all that mileage going on it No thanks 
Mike thanks for your input mate With regards to the two models, 320 and 340, are these both the same to mod?

(with the expensive running costs aside) seems silly to me and just a waste. Especially when only doing 5k a year. Thats just my view mate although obviously loads of people dont mind doing it. Although most just regret it once its sold.

I know ill regret selling the escos, its the best looking car to have 
But its just a waste sitting there, and only coming out on dry sunny days in the summer I want something i can use all the time or at least every weekend in all weather and not worry about it getting dirty and something i can drive hard and fast
Yes everyone does say they regret selling there escos and usually end up buying another I hope ill be making the right decision If it sells this summer then evo here i come i guess
Mike what have you bought then???

I don't regret selling my Escos one little bit, nor do I miss it and I shan't be getting another.... Evo is a far better car in all respects IMO

My mates dad has an FQ300 51 plate. I must admit, it doesn't feel all that quick when your in it. But look at the dials and you soon realise it is. The chassis is so good on them that you just don't feel it.
Before his evo, he owned a 400bhp escos and he hasn't looked back. He says the evo is faster, handles better, more reliable and reasonably cheap to service. Best car he's owned!"
My S1 is quick and have played with quite a few cossies in the past. Yes I have lost, but not by much. Following the evo on the other hand.... forget it!"
There is a roundabout along this stretch of road near me. The RS is on the limit at 65/70ish. The evo can cross it at 100 without even braking a sweat!"

How much do you guys think it will be worth in a year or two, if its 26k now?

So based on doing 5000 miles a year as said above, thats £1 down the drain after every mile you drive!!!!
Quite scary looking at it like that. And thats not even taking running costs and servicing into account.
but good luck any way
