I Know It Has Been Done...

[Savage Bliss]

Hey all... I know some of you have made the transition... what transition?

Skyline to Evo

Its time to give my baby up, regretfully, and look towards the future, i.e. buying an Evo. So, expect to see my car up here and in the trader in the next couple of months.

I'm pretty much sorted in terms of hooking one up i.e. importers, I just want to know peoples personal experiences with these rockets; what are they like to live with? Drive everyday, that sorta thing. (I've only ever heard good things, and from my experience in them I think it's a wise choice).

Interested to know... cheers!

p.s. looking at a 7.

Easiest car to live with I've ever owned.

4-doors, lots of space, reasonable on fuel, easy to beat Cougar at DECA - what more do you want?

I know an awesome yellow VII for sale - loads of goodery on it too.

White always looks good.

[saff_cossie]

Evo VII's are definately the best choice

Seats are tighter and a few more angles over the VIII and IX so I think it has a tougher stance

Mine is very economical so I regularly see 420-450kms to 40 litres on the freeway. Even around town it seldom drops below 400 with fanging returning about 380 to a tank.

Definately upgrade the springs to get the most from the handling as they have some body roll from factory.

I am hoping to put mine up to 200kw in the next few months with a couple of mods but don't want much more as it is used daily and for about 600kms a week. Being blue, mine attracts little attention which is another plus point and as such, have never been pulled over in it.

Servicing is also quite reasonable with a basic service being around the $250-$300 mark.

Personally I would buy here for peace of mind although the company James used seems to be very good.

Not really much else to say except they are ace cars that do the job during the week and enable you to mix it up at the weekend with the other performance cars.

Buy a skyline their quicker

But on the quiet the evo is very nice as a daily driver

[Paradizzle]

Jesus.. rename this place to Evos/traitorsAustralia ETA!!

[West]

Its a trend.

[R34NRG]

honestly out of all the evos i like the #6 i rkn it still looks very importish (if that makes sense)

all the newer evos look like euro cars.....

Evo VIII was a car i was considering too a while ago, but i decided to stick with a RWD for my next beast... more fun

[Borgs]

I think i'll stick with my R33 GTR, when your Vll has its 12th birthday and still holds its chin up high, and manages to send a unnerving shake up the spine of people driving so called factory packed high performance vehicles of the day.

I'll be forced to agree with ya's...but from what ive seen they are just a glorified Rex....good for 2-3yrs than get rid of them for the next model,

b4 you get left with a boat anchor.

This is my personal bias oppinion as a zilla owner and fan for life.... "no car can give you more long term bang for your buck"

[RNGTR]

Been there, owned the 600+ hp GT-R..... Got over it.

Evo's are great, I love mine to death best thing I ever did was sell the GT-R & move on. So far its cost me SFA to own & maintain & given heaps of thrills the (few) times ive driven it.

The VII's are great value nowdays, lots of fruit for your money & look great in white.....

Owning the GT-R was fun, but ment I was always broke, because something else always needed to be upgraded in the quest for powah!

Yeah whatever Rod,

Deep inside we know you've regret and want your GTR back but its too late . (KHOA)

Don't get a VII, get a IX. I find the price difference isn't a hug margine at all and the IX looks so much SHARPER. I got to agree with you about a WHITE EVO though, can't go wrong there.

[phunky_monkey]

Tisk tisk Sav... another one bites the dust...

No slideways fun in an Evo, but apart from that they're awesome cars. Beautiful to drive, have nice poke stock, big brakes, unbelievable handling, plenty of room to put you purse, the list is endless.

Nice choice in the VII, that'd be my choice too if I suddenly lost my balls

[Savage Bliss]

Thanks for all the responses people. Appreciated, I'm not a traitor, done the Skyline thing now it's time to move on. Who knows, chances are I'll come back at some stage... but for now... Evo all the way!

Dane... f**k you... that is all!

But thank you!

[R-SPEC]

hmm quite a few people seem to have gone from gtr to evo.

does that mean evo's > gtr's ?

is it an "upgrade" ? or is it just coz your all getting old or somethin?

[Savage Bliss]

Getting OLD! 26 on Saturday!

Plus, the way my car is set up, well it's not the most comfortable thing to drive on a day to day basis. Rock-hard suspension Bride-brix seat and the likes!

Plus, would like to sell her before I pile too many more k's on her.

Plus, would be nice for a change!
