SpeedFreak Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 As some of you know, I have had my car up for sale for a while now. And have been advertising it on PistonHeads.Well I have just been asked if I was interested in swapping for an Evo 4. (Awaiting for pictures)My insurance company have done a quote for £1000 Comp with me and my partner on the insurance. I think this is quite good. Being 21 (22 in March).What do you guys think of Evo 4's? I know the Tax is going to be alot higher, and so will petrol, but I have wanted to change to something more powerful for a while.Thanks Peeps! Quote
Kara GTT Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Yep do it,my fella wants to get rid of his pulsar for a evo!So i think do it,you can always swap it or sale it for another glanza if you dont like it Quote
Glanza_cl Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 evo 4's are nice, not a fan of the front with the HUGE fogs but still nice, if you wanted power you should have just modded your v along time ago lol Quote
Guest Enzo Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 do it! evo 4s rock, plus with the stickers on your ep it would always be harder to sell, so do it id say Quote
Glanza-Love Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 What do you guys think of Evo 4's? I know the Tax is going to be alot higher, and so will petrol, but I have wanted to change to something more powerful for a while.Haha your sooooo right love...Tax high..Petrol high..Maintainence HIGH..Repairs pretty expensive..your glanza is lovely and just needs a paint job.. imo id keep it but thats me im a starlet freak... if you want something bigger but just remember bigger car... bigger bills Quote
SpeedFreak Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 The thing is with my Glanza - I don't want to waste money having it re-sprayed. Mainly because my heart isn't in it, and I think it's a waste of money for me to do.I have wanted an Evo for a while, and have always liked the 4. But the only thing that puts me off is the cost of running it. But that would be the same for any car that's higher power! I have loved having the Glanza, but don't love it any more. I want something thats 5 door, and just something more powerful.I haven't spent money on making my Glanza quicker, because it's technically cheaper to just buy a more powerful car as standard. Quote
andy.i Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 be prepared for HUGE repair and maintenance bills.......... Quote
SpeedFreak Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 See you say that, but I have known a few people with them and they didn't have any problems with theirs.I regret not swapping it for a GSR 1800 in July now. Quote
Glanza_cl Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 well you have clearly made up your mind what you want to do, so do it and pics of the possible new car? Quote
StarletCraigy Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 my friend has an Evo4 for sale, he works in Plymouth so is getting rid, he lives in Middlesbrough, he wants something cheaper to run up and down, not sure if it's what he may consider but worth a try, i can vouch he's had no bother with it, nice car i drove it back from Plymouth Quote
SpeedFreak Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 These I am waiting for.If it isn't nice enough, or you know has decent Tax/Mot etc etc on it, then obviously I won't have it.But whether it's nice or not, I am still looking at the possibility of having one any ways.Just wanted to know what people thought of them really.I have always wanted a GSR1800, but they are so rare and hard to get hold of, it's unlikely I will find one and sell my car at the same time. I have worked out my money, and with savings and stuff I can afford to run it easily. Quote

Thanks! Quote
Glanza_cl Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 get the evo 4, join a evo forum then put up a post for a GSR1800 swop for evo4 or along those lines that way you get a more powerful car and if a GSR comes along you can snap it up when it does.or if you decide you dont like the evo buy another starlet Quote
SpeedFreak Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 LOL - To be honest, if I got one and didn't like it or it was way to expensive then I think the first car I would look at is another Glanza! BenV - This is a comment I heard someone make before, so I am going to be asking a few people to see whats with that? Il ask my bloke tonight when I see him, as he has an Evo 3 and is quite clued up on them all in general. Quote
BenV Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 yeah one of my mates was on about them before as we knew a boy who was planning an evo 4 engine swap into a colt. cant remember what goes wrong though. i'll see if i can find out for youBen Quote
BenV Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 just text my mate and he said that the cranks are made of chocolate and that it would only be worth it to him if it were forgedBen Quote
SpeedFreak Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 That sounds like the other comment I heard from someone else.I think I shall sign up to an Evo forum and ask their advice. I know they will be biased, but they will say the truth about running costs. Quote
Callan Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 crank walk....low mpg and theyre not the best car to run as a dailykeep the 91 imo spray it, de sticker it and hybrid or td04 Quote
SpeedFreak Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 I have already said I don't want to do any of that! Quote
Sparky Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Lets see the 4 Na you have been wanting this for ages so just do it already I do like the 4's tbh not the most reliable though Quote
SpeedFreak Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 LOL.Well I am waiting on some pictures and info, and once I have them I will post them up for you all.In the mean time, if anyone see's any Mitsubishi Lancer GSR 1800's for sale, let me know! Quote
Glanza-Love Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I have always wanted a GSR1800, but they are so rare and hard to get hold of, it's unlikely I will find one and sell my car at the same time. you dont come from my end theres a good few down here a gunmetal grey one amazing car.. spotless and!!! done up to the nuts.. 12K Quote
