thinking about getting one

fuzzy

i do.

is there much difference in the normal one and the evo

Steven_RW

it goes a bit quicker and it has a higher risk of reliability issues due to dual vanos (which the non evo doesnt have)

im in the process of stripping one for a mate (a rich one) and turning it into a track car, as it stands with all the standard parts fitted it is fairly quick motor, so once all the interior is stripped and uprated stuff is fitted then i think it should be quite a weapon

steer clear of the dsg gearbox, it will break and you will cry at the bill

I had an early 96' Evo in Estoril Blue, 42k, full Beemer history, sexy staggered 'Sunflower' rims and lovely cloth M-Sport cloth trim and rate them higly. Like a few people have said listen for the clicking of the Vanos unit (although, that said, they can go at any time so it's luck of the draw) and steer clear of those wafty boxes and they're pretty bulletproof. Here's a pic of my old one to wet you appetite.

Everyone seems to like them so far... I don't rate them though, really lack feel IMO

Ginge !

there great cars, they seem to launch off the lights better than a scooby sti pmsl

who ever says they feel quick has NEVER been out in anything quicker than a transit connect or is just talking shite as they DONT feel quick,,,,,, even though they are quick if that makes sence

motorways are a PROPER dream with these cars though,,,,,, just perfect and a great car to drive just dont have that acceleration kick that makes it a childish fun car imo

i would say id have one but im lying as when i was looking for one it wasnt what i wanted and so bought a chavs car

my boss has an estorial blue just like the one above up for sale with the cream leather for 5k but its got the silly box

i think there great cars, generally will do everything you can ask for of a car

make sure you look for one with working indicators though
