evo is still evo man.. You cannot just simply buy other cars to suit you evoness needs.. I believe that there are many other cars out there which can suit your budget.. but if you still required the evo looks with 50k, I think some 90s lancers should be a good start..

yes..i know that for sure....that's why i started this thread in the the first place...
im not looking for a 50k car that can replace evo..
i just want to know...if i have 50k to spend...
is it ok to buy the converted one....and how's the engine....especially turbo...
or is it wiser for me to save that 50 bucks and spend it on other car...
i like sport cars with turbo actually..but with all i have,its kinda limited...

50k as down payment for an Evo is possible, but you have to pay the other 50k-60k on a 7-9 years monthly payment:)

yes...i know that as well...50k as a down payment...i pretty much can own many sport cars..:proud:
actually the car will be paid by my dad...he suggested me a myvi...hehe...
so im thinking within that range of budget...what better car could i get...
and i think...with that limited budget..not that i couldn't get my dream car....i couldn't get a better car too...better means a car that would not cause any trouble as my daily usage....as this car is sponsored by my dad....he will definitely pissed off by the problems that may arise from the car...
maybe i should get a normal ordinary car as my friends suggested and try to get the evo of my dream 1 fine day....hurm.,

yeah..i could get a fully converted wira..
but the thing is..im not so much into converted car...
but a converted lancer to evo 5 or 6 i maybe interested...but im afraid that it would cause many problems..as i am a rookie in this field...
this is my first car...and hopefully it would last for some times..as i dont have a stable job yet...
besides myvi,are there any ordinary second hand cars in that range of budget that perform as good as a new myvi though it has been on the road for several years...
jazz,swift,vios,airtrek maybe...any suggestion...

there is alot of things need to be consider especially getting a JDM or sport cars..mainly its the financial status..well its not either u able to pay up the monthly installment but r u able to maintain tat car...if things goes wrong..i can assure u the maintain cost gonna be much more costlier than ya monthly installment..so pls do consider properly before u owning a nice sport cars but don have any penny left in ya pocket monthly?? or u prefer to have a cheaper ride for now and got tonnes of cash in ya pocket..i will advised u to get ya dream car later on when u capable of owning one...cheers...

yes indeed...
i know that i could afford some turbo cars fro 50k...
but i also know that second hand cars especially sport cars could create some major problems..
so i have to plan for the worse...even i want it so much...
thanks guys ....
i think i go for a normal affordable car....

I am a young boy who likes evo very much too.And your idea to buy an old "cheap" evo do cross my head during even before I got my license on hand.As this sifu said.....maintaning a performance car is really a very SCARY issue(for me).My dad told me to stick to HIS car until I got my own cash.:banghead::banghead:

if rm50k is max you can obtain to get a car.. advise is not to get an evo so fast... i was too once having this crave for any evo series... my first dream came through was buying a lancer mx (stock) which is now about rm40+k. then after some time only i started modding it. hhahahaha.. so it really depends what can you afford monthly like some forumer has mention. maintaining is another issue. if really die die want a mitsu or at least as close as possible.. get a lancer mx.. at least you can mod your car look into an evo4 first for a start? kekekekke

cheers!

Hi Emp,

Fyi,still many peoples out there can't even afford to own an what you so called Old Evo....

No offence.

Cheers..

I don't an Evo anymore.. I used to own Black TME before this.. 7474.. Had to let go because I am getting married. I love the evo but to maintain is quite expensive .. You don;t have to go far, just servicing your gearbox will give you headache. for those who use it as a daily driven car..

Clutch, brakes, tyres wear is quite fast.. Plus Evo fuel consumption is quite heavy too espevcially you got heavy right foot. Modding is another story ..If money is an issue stick to NA that is my advice. Not all of us are rich man's son or has big income..

just my 2 cents..

if i would trash an evo...how the maintainance would be?...given everything engine related stock...only mod handling department...i know tires 18" is a bomb

i heard lot stories about turbo car....:bawling:...can i hold the rpm up high everytime?

am considering evo or subaru...since it got 4doors

or maybe stick with NA...haih only could go for dc5...fd2 still expensive

Bro, I drive my Evo hard everyday. No issue bro. The engine is strong. totally agree with you on the car part.. That's why I got myself a DC5.. It may not be an Evo but ok lor.. Still got power..

most importantly for owning an evo is to find a good mechanic......don listen to ppl's recommendations, observe and do some homework, read & do some research on the background of the workshop....then only proceed to buy Evo,

Evo is a great car, but being a performance car, you need to maintain and take care of it from time to time, if u have good mechanic, life will be easy but of coz u need to spend some money la but if you have some bullshits mechanic...life is like hell for you man....then forget about owning an evo....go buy proton saga or myvi that comes with 3 to 5 years warranty.
