Buying a Lancer Evo?

[FT_Vaughn]

hi guys! i need some inputs and comments.. if im planning to purchase an EVO3 imported from japan in the philippines, then have it converted from RHD to LHD.. do you think it's worth it? or buy a front and rear cut EVO3 then transfer EVO parts and to an orig LHD CB3?

you need to check the chasis number.... let me find if i still keep them..

Bro,

Hope this might help you. Since I used as my reference before (unless they change all over the parts)
For further details u need to strip the carpet at clutch area.
Check at the body welding/additional near the engine bay.

Which Evo 7 u refer to in KK?

the one black color wit sunroof at car dealer, infront Allianz inanam(oppositie proton)

the chassis i see is GH-CT9A, forgot to take down the full chassis

huakenny,

Saw that car few time on the road.
If not mistaken the car been there almost 2 years.
But unfortunately didn't have further details about the owner/car.
I will try around asking anybody knew any history of the car.

Conversion from GTA - Manual in KK? I never heard before.
Only few mechanic can do the job (maybe).

If to check manufacture date. You may use this link:-
Check Manufacture Year - Japan Partner

I disagree with you.
It depend how much u spend the money into the car (even for E7GTA/7/8/9)
More money = More speed (with the correct path/way).
GTA need to be careful due to gearbox maintainance & gearbox parts availability.

its almost impossible task to convert GTA to manual...not impossible but almost...and its rather stupid to do so...if its really converted then sthng must have gone really wrong with the car...and i seriously suggest NOT GETTING THE CAR man

Hey there,

I'm going to be purchasing an evo soon. Just some queries.

Are evos stolen often? if so, why and how?
Are evos fast? cos 75% of the fastest 4wds in Sepang seem to be Scoobies.
Name the most reliable evo workshop in Klang Valley, its okay if they are expensive.

Thanks in advance.

elsm80,

Stock Evo vs Stock Impreza (I loose)
I like Evo coz easy to pronounce rather than I.M.P.R.E.Z.A
2nd hand part availability can be tolerate.

All sport car are thief magnet.
Want be fast it depends how much money do you spend on the car.
More Money = More Speed

Are evos stolen often?
**not really cos easy to track them down by MLOC members, so thieves will think twice
if so, why and how?
**depends on luck also.
Are evos fast? cos 75% of the fastest 4wds in Sepang seem to be Scoobies.
**of course they're damn fast......disagree on that.....depends on the driver as well.
