Your not going to get hold of a decent evo for 4 grand though dude, when i have looked at those sort of cars in recent months you need to be spending a fair bit more than that to get something that does not need a whole bunch of money spending on it.
That's the biggest problem money but then if I were going to spend 6k on an EVO is get a delta
Haldex on the s3, s4 has proper 4wd no electronics, and half as fast? Don't think so, Eco with the same power might have u off the line but 2 turbos and 2.7l of v6 will soon see him off. My s4 would regularly and with ease dispatch itself well past 150mph. Reliable but do cost abit if they go wrong and solid with not much in the way rust issues

Why not just settle for FWD and buy another Renault?
Lots of choice for 4k.

LOL you won't get a delta for under £12k
Break your 5 for the good bits get what you can and scrap the shell or sell shell on. Your R5 is prob worth more in parts than as a working car although all yours needs is a spray job but then it's the cost of that the buyer will look at unless they have contacts whom can sort cheap

fun practical fwd car..... honda accord type r. lsd as standard, recaros as standard and go very well. 4 doors and a boot and a big one at that. cheap easy to work on but no turbo. remap is needed to get the vtec to sing a little better. i like the look of the pre face lifts better as they had extra bumper lips though the later ones had a stronger gearbox, most have been rebuilt by now. h22a7 engine produces more power than the prelude version and you will have change from 4kWhy not just settle for FWD and buy another Renault?

love the "related videos" on the side. "Sexy Gisele - Off Roading" etc
Was thinking 172 turbo. But would want to buy it all ready done. Wouldn't be able to get an integrale EVO but an integrale he 16v I could
You don't want much LOL done alreadyWas thinking 172 turbo. But would want to buy it all ready done. Wouldn't be able to get an integrale EVO but an integrale he 16v I could
And if you do the turbo on a budget yourself I reckon you could do it all for £4k including buying the clio
I loved my Evo 5, I'd have another tomorrow.
But being a practical daily isn't their thing really. 30 liter tanks on 19mpg cars don't get you many miles. From Luton to the Surrey meet and back done a tank. But if you don't mind filling up every 100 milds than they're brilliant!
All the original requirements seem to have gone out of the window, or new ones come in to dispatch good suggestions, lol. It's a free for all!
what about this gaz

What about this
bilge pumps always go on thoseWhat about this
M3 !
Take one out and it will change your mind change your mind. I know what your saying about them i was the same before i got it, but now i can't fault mine which I use every day bud..
What about this
Its still EVO winning. I will go out and test drive an m3 I know there a brilliant car mechanically I would like to see how they feel to drive. Looked at Mitsubishi gto twin turbos but think they would feel big and lumbery.
Mick I wouldn't mind a skyline but its in the same boat as the EVO and in that case the EVO wins.
Just buy a feckin Evo & be done with it man !
any news on your mates 4 yet matey? realistically a 4 is more in my price range I also really like the look of the older ones but just dont want the engine round the other way
If your toying with an M3 see if you can get stu21 to take you form blast in his, it doesn't hang about!
hopefully he will pop down in it to the next surrey meet
hopefully he will pop down in it to the next surrey meet
Don't forget Stu's is no ordinary M3 isn't it an M3 GT quiet a rare version
I think stus is a gt model and fetch quit a few more quid than your standard e36 m3, it has different spoilers splitters etc along with a half leather half alcantara trim with a one off British racing green paint work, some came with aluminium doors, don't think they had much extra in the engine department as they were the 3.0 litre, later came the 3.2 evo which had another 35hp.
Why do I allways like the look of the older ones
My brother had an oldschool M5, that didn't hang about & LSD =
Or if you can handle the tip box, the C32 AMG is a lovely car for the money, SC & 350 bhp out the box.. loads of room, 3x3 belts in the rear...

dont know why gaz started this thread steve, he said he wanted a evo @ the start and will end up with one i bet
That cavalier looks awesome bit like a lotus Carlton. Yes Mick will prob end up with an EVO but its nice to look at something different that I havnt thought of all ready.
Good call love these my old man had one of these when they came out in the 90's was a black one with smoked rear light's.
I can see you in one of these Gary very cool
stop pissing about and just get this renault

Theres your answer right there.......
Cavalier - that's lovely, always wanted one. Crying out for a twin pipe exhaust.
21 Quadra - Now that looks like a decent motor. Strong money for a 21 though?
love the look of the 21 quadra just not the performance
top end performance 21 turbo 150mph+ will leave your evo behindits not all about bhp figures that make a quick car
Having never driven either of them, what's the 21's handling like? We know the EVO handles well but I havnt really heard much about the 21.

I only did a quick comparison site check to give me some idea need to check properly when I'm next on the computer not phone
A coustomer just dropped round a lovely RS6 Avant. The gadgets in it are so cool. V8 twin turbo toomay go for an audi
No idea how much these are but from just sitting in it, I'd pick this over an Evo 4
dont think the rs6 will be in my price range
Had a standard S3 few years back hated it worse car I ever bought lame power probably due to the extra weight of the car, crap handling, poor quality interior trim,door bottoms going rusty when it was 8yrs old..Sold an impreza classic turbo 2000 standard UK wagon to get the S3 as well, the wagon drove like a dream was a fantastic allround car handling was just epic power delivery for standard was superb, if you drove the S3 like you could the impreza you would end up in a ditch each and every time you pushed it the S3 was nice enough to look at but that was about it..
