im hopeless with knowing the difference between evo 7/8/9 unless i can see rear lights, but just as a guess evo 7?

ive wanted an evo 7/8/9 for a daily for awhile now. theyre awesome cars

It's an Evo 8. You're best to look at the front bar to tell, but all CT9A body panels are interchangable, so you cant really tell without a VIN or a close look at the interior.

I'm using mine as a daily at the moment, I love it but if you want one as a daily beware the service intervals are very frequent and parts are expensive. You should treat this like a mini Skyline GT-R.

lol i own a rotary as a daily. i service my car every 2000-3000kms depending on how much ive been thrashing it. something like this would be a step up in the maintenance department.

Oh wow I remember you!
So much has changed since your old '31.

I used to own dor132, the r32 sedan with ssr meshies on it, cant remember where i met you.

Evo is a big step up!

Ahhhhh, you had the soarer you swapped with Dan?

Lol remember an Evo has AYC, ACD and more Diff's than an RX7, I service mine every 3000-5000k's and do the AYC every service. I think it would be more reliable than a rotary but parts are more expensive (4-6k for a standard gearbox), as I said I daily it at the moment and it's fucking awesome.

Oh really, man that car was awesome to me. I drove it daily for almost a year...I dont get why he has no luck.
But ive had an ae86 for about a year now, i think theres a build thread somewhere on here. Though it sits in the garage most of the time....like they all do, lol

Thanks for the compliments man. I'm a pretty amature photographer, I dont know a great deal I just use an old body with some good lenses and correct stuff in Photoshop.

I'd like to plan a really epic photoshoot for my evo some time soon.

Hey just to give you an update on the soarer its currently not running (surprize surprize).

as far as i know he has gone threw 4 engines and the latest one has a blown head gasket and siezed turbo's :(

on topic,

ive heard alot about you Tim from various people on the coast but never had the pleasure of meeting you.

Sarah has talked quite abit about your 31 and up until recently i had never seen any photo's of it. was definatly a nice looking car :)

anyway nice collection of cars you have had.

im currently driving a R32 but early next year i plan to buy or import a AE86 hence why im on these forums :)

Sir, your Golf is/was pure win.

I like how you had the red Corolla on your red P's then worked your way up from there, haha.
