Just want to figure out what people are gonna do or are doing with their Evos. I see a lot of mods going on people's cars so I just wanted to figure out what exactly the purpose was.

Face it, the Evo is a guy magnet, not a chick magnet (not for girls of legal age, anyway ;)). Every time I drive to a place like Santana Row (where there's a relatively equal ratio of men vs. women) I'll parade the Evo down the row and my friends take a count of who turns to look at the car. Usually it's 90%+ guys.

I use mine mainly for weekend fun in the mountains (not racing) and just cruising around town.

I use mine as my weekend car, visiting friends and relatives, going to monthly meet, and hangout with fellow Evo owners.

i use my Evo as an everyday driver. not really much into the racing aspects of it all (at the moment). just want to trick out my Evo a little here and there for pure pleasure and the love of the game! and to show some V8's out of course! :wink:

I was thinking about starting up a group buy on some spinners for the Evo. Maybe Cal has some friends who could hook us up?

My Evo is my daily driver. I rarely drive it on the weekends. Definitely more track time is what my Evo's goal this year!! :drool:

I always wanted a fast, smog legal car. Since the evo is affordable, what the heck. I mainly use it on the weekend when there is no traffic. Also I like to collect things and cars are one of them.

i don't know what to vote for. i use it for a little of everything. i eventually want to mod to be able to hit up the track becuase i could go just as fast safer without worry of popos or accidents and i think that would make things more fun. but i also wanna smoke the occasional idiot er two

Jan, you want a set of Spinners? real ones or fake ones? :)

TheJANG
03-21-2004, 08:24 PM
I've heard that the fake ones that are set about 4" out from the wheel face act as excellent vortex generators. A physicist friend of mine estimated that at right around 194mph you would be able to create two parallel wormholes, so any vehicle driving off of one corner of your car would be sucked in and instantly re-appear at the other corner.

I'd say a little bit of everything as well, except show and street racing. Im not into the whole show car thing; and well, street racing, is just really fucking lame. Im down for the occasional freeway run, or stoplight run given theres no traffic or pedestrians, but honestly imo, all those fools who go to the actual street races(racing or just watching, you're still supporting it) are fucking idiots.

Just saving up money to put down payment of half to get me started.
Planning to get a Tarmac Black Evo 03'.
Should I wait till the RS and or the MR comes out or what? What are you guy's suggestions? :computer:

nebolic
05-10-2004, 10:37 AM
try to get an 03 asap, cause some guy on EVOm that is a dealer said the new prices MSRP for an 04 Evo 8 with sunroof and spoiler is $33k + i believe a lot of people got the 03 Evo 8 for ~$28.5K with sunroof and spoiler. If you want a RS or MR expect to pay a hefty premiumn.

Is the 03 version a thing that goes rare all of a sudden, I plan to get the 03 version in the summer, around maybe June or July. BTW, when will the 04 start coming out? I have not even seen the RS version out yet, when is that one coming? I meant the RS version?
