Message: <blockquote data-quote="DDgreystar" data-source="post: 2114089" data-attributes="member: 5158">hmm........buying an evo......evo 7 u looking for specifically ? or is there a specific budget u after ?choosing a recond evo is difficult task, u hear tons of stories, car had very bad accident in jap and was fixed to look like new (check out some other threads here in zth, i recalled seeing a skyline r34 head smash teruk n yet the reworks was made to look like a perfection !!!), car had blown engine b4, car was stolen from singapore more n more n morebut the basics u should REALLY look into is the condition of the car. Yes, condition of the chasis, if there is any special phenomenon to it. I recalled a visitor enquiring for a evo 7, had a choice to choose a great deal with tons of mild mods car condition was great however just becoz of budget difference, the deal was dragged n the car was sold to some other buyer eventually. Later on he bought a evo from another dealer at a slightly cheaper price but the chasis was full of RUST and having headaches to do touch ups and minor corrections here n there......So wat does dis tell us?.....all in all....choosing a evo....a cult status isnt dat simple....its not just by gauging on....oh the engine is e7, e8 or even e9. or just becoz its cover might be even a e5 or e6 ?? U need to go more than that....for all u know....it was JUST a change of the VALVE COVER, well i seen engines having authentic internals but the valve cover is different though.Assuming u got the great luck by finding a authentic e7 engine with the e7 chassis, but how abt the rest ? we had members who bought cars dat need a change on the AYC or gearbox malfunctioning probs just after 1 or 2 months of purchase, we also had frens who had engine internal probs dat the car was under performing.......all in all............its a matter of HOW MUCH do u know abt checking WAT EXACTLY is an evo , and of coz ......the biggest tip is...WHERE, WHAT, n HOW to look for in the midst of choosing 1.....not just 1....but the RITE 1in short all i can think of is.........perhaps u have a buddy or a fren who have experience in an evo....n can help u to give u some pointers...more importantly...u should have a mechanic who is willing to help u out to check the potential ride .....n MOST IMPORTANTLY......is to get a TEST DRIVE.........a car which is problematic, be it engine wise, performance wise, drive train, suspension, etc etc....can be revealed through a thorough test drive.......but of coz, coming back to the basic, u need to know WHAT you should be looking for......as for me.........your concerns reminds me of the time I was eagerly searching for my ride.........thank goodness i got a great SIFU/bro he was more than willing to help me to search for a gud ride........n of coz when all is almost confirmed, i brought my mechanic down to do a thorough checking to make sure the fundamentals r in the right place. All in all, only small tiny stuff need to be change for example...just the 4 tyres need replacement n oil change. After dat i suffer from no major mechanical failure until my buntuk gets itchy for modding hehehe but of coz the process of modding n facing mechanical or tunning probs is another faithful chapter which is even more tedious in processing.....Last but not least, wish u have a fruitful hunting....the ppl in here r of coz frendlier to live up with the club name.....all I can say is ......MAY THE FORCE BE WITH U :D</blockquote>
