No idea matey but they are older powerful quite advanced cars... all Evos have very short service intervals, parts wont be cheap as they are all imports etc etc

Awesome awesome cars though Best Evo for me

They dont cost all that to run

Had one still would have until some idiot pushed us into a bloody field

Used to give the car stink all the time and never had any problems, Running costs are next to fuck all too



Watch out for crankwalk

Gf's got an evo 1. I know that they are not as technical. They dont have yaw control etc. Oil/filter change every 3k miles with fully synthetic oil.

Gf get 200 miles to £50 of V power. Its a thirsty litle bugger

one of my good friends got one a few months ago plus i did look at getting V then thought better lol, now i have helped him fit a few bits to save him a bit of money but there still very expensive to run

he had new brakes that cost him 600quid just for parts and that was for nothing special, everything seems really expensive and very hard to get hold of if it goes wrong. his clutch is on its last legs too and i think thats gunna cost a bomb

need servicing every 4.5k, AYC system fluild needs changing and thats a main dear/specialist only ££££

oh and does us a lot of petrol, full tank of 50quid lasts him 160 miles

download this has a lot of info on it
