Had one quite a few years ago, great cars dont remember having any problems apart from when i got carried away once and hit a kerb resulting in a £1500 repair bill. They replaced everything but it never felt the same 
Mates got one with an evo engine. It might even be 4x4 by now, havent seen him for a while.

I hope your 2nd pic isnt ment to be one of an Evo engine in a Satria,as that aint no Evo motor in the pic.

Didnt say i didnt beleive u mate.Just that dosnt look like an Evo engine.
However i have never seen an Evo1 engine so cant really comment now.I was just thinking it would maybe have been a newer Evo motor.From a 4 upwards.

No worries, it has to be a 1-3 evo engine to drop straight in
