Evo 6 Or Dc5r

[jakez88]

keep in mind the evo 6 has a 50 litre tank and the skyliens are usually 65 litres

[baron25]

65L? Doubt it, a full fill for me from low fuel light (which had been on for about 30km) to full was 54L, which would indicate a 55ish litre tank.

And also remember, ADM DC5R is hugely different to the JDM version (which can't be imported). Aus Spec R's where basically the "spoiler and cool bodykit" version, where the JDM ones where stripped out, more power versions like the original R.

Yeah nah.

When the light comes on you have around the 10-15L mark left in reserve.

if you're worried about fuel, then go get a yaris. Sorry to sound mean but its the truth.. performance cars burn fuel thats all there is to it

My mate has an Evo 8 and he gets around 250km a tank i have a r34 and i only get max 300 a tank.. but thats due to tuning and how we drive etc...

In reply to your question .. An evo 6 TME would be better than a DC5R.. but by the sounds of it you dont want to spend money on maintence so go get the dc5r

damn man! only 300km? i always fill up at around the 480km mark and thats still with fuel left in the tank!

So both cars have a weakness.....

The EVO has a small fuel tank.

The Honda suffer's from VTEC Lag.

[eMsta]

so, OP, whats the verdict?

Evo? or DC5R?

[HIZOKU]

Having worked for honda and i own a evo 6

i whould go the integra just for sale value and so on

evo 6 have droped in price heaps in the last year and if you want get a evo 5 you can import them now and they are even cheaper evo 6 are fun but they have turned into the new WRX alot of people buying them and thrashing them treating them like shit thinking that they have become a good driver overnight due to the car doing all the work

if you want i will sell you my evo 6 HAHA comes with a blown motor but comes with a BC 2.4L stroker kit and HKS inletmanifold HAHA

leaning more towards to the evo bro ! lol

thought to save more for a TME, which i guess it might hold its value better

what do you think ?

Thx for the offer bro, but i think i would go for something stock. Dont think i have the skills to to handle a 2.4 now lol

[HIZOKU]

Also a TME will hold its value better if you dont mod it like basic mods are fine just keep stock parts as once you start modding them they seem to go for the same price as a gsr

i guess aftermarket cold air intake, catback, front pipe, boost controller, coilovers and wheels are still in the basic mods list yea ? wont be touching much bout the engine. And just want to know, will the price drop alot after the car went for track ? Thx for any comment

+1 for those mods and yes the price will drop if you sell it with all the mods on it IMO.

Or you won't get back the same amount of money you put in, but in some cases ppl do get the money back on the mods.

[Stagea_Neo]

omg these fuel figures are making my stag look economical.

my 1600kg shaggin wagon gets 350-400km depending on how nice i drive it

[sprinter666]

if your going to mod a car u are going to resell just keep the original parts handy saves u trouble later IMO.

I test drove a new one of these (HARD) a couple of years ago.

Had just stepped out of a Renault Sport CUp Clio which blew me away on it's handling.

Although the Honda revved to 8,400 rpm and gave me a head ache after 20mins of driving (noise from behind firewall, not exhaust), the handling was deplorable and the interior was basic for the $ asked.

I've never been in an Evo 6, but the Honda handled like my old Corolla. The end.

Thanks for the advise bro. yea agree with the handling, FWD cant make much special on handling, and i guess the dc5r is now out from my choise because might quite hard to get one with 20k budget

The question is not what the resale value is, its what gets your heart racing the most

I never buy a car with the thought in my mind that i have to baby it or be scared of it because itll end up with someone else.

Hence the 25 000 dollar, 13 year old R33 in my driveway

Who cares how old it is or how much someone else is gonna pay for it.

Its about how much fun you have in it while its yours

end thread here good call kamikaze
