No one wants a $60k evo with high monthly payments, get out now and buy a 9.

Agreed. Too bad you didn't get to enjoy it for longer in full beast mode before parting some of it out. |

But yea, if the stress of breaking your car outweighs the enjoyment you receive from driving it, then it's time to re-think the game plan.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
reminder: its nice out, its summer, the car is in good working order.
Enjoy it for a few months as-is and tear it apart this fall.
Turn the boost down if you are worried

Good luck with what you decide. I'd like a ride still though.
I wish I had a motor already I'd buy all that stuff apart from teh injectors. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I will eventually move to a c6 z06 i think, or if I get a nice bonus a c7 myself haha.
I don't want to risk it breaking any more and honestly I don't have the funds to keep it right now unless I want to keep paying interest. I hate interest and just having the evo sit for a bit will be a good thing I think.
I will try to stop by, maybe this weekend Aaron and give a ride before I take it apart.
Anyone want to help take the turbo kit off? I am guessing it won't be too hard but I have never done it. Beers for all!
I would guess I will start it Sunday if I get time or next week/weekend. |
