Can't beat a turbo charged, 4 wheel drive saloon derived from a rally car that you can drive around with all the family in the back.

Subaru, by far, has the best sound and mitsubishi has the aggression so win win all round I say......
100% agree!!

6's are extremely hard to find solid rot free now, I wanted to build another like mine as out of circa 50 cars it's the only car I've really missed, do not buy one that has been undersealed, try and find one that's original underneath at least you can see what's going on!

Looking at possibly importing one.

Like you said, ones that have been here a while are rotting.

Agree with what Rob say's. The Evo is very good at letting you drift.
I think I had Robs (origin of his username) Evo 5 more sideways in a 15 minute test drive then I have had a scoob sideways in 15 years.

Compared to other things you were thinking about, good choice and nice looking Evo. Enjoy mate, Will certainly see you and hear you coming around town. I think every petrol head should own at least one Evo in the lifetime...

I'm likening that! I'm not a fan of red cars in general (personal thing) but I'm feeling a bit coy over that evo!

Looks very mean....
Anger I thought those were the mr rear lights?????

Went to see this today.....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3311244568...84.m1423.l2649

Brilliant car, has a few more mods than on the list (re-map, GT30) and is solid underneath
Unfortunately the paint lets it down. No accident damage, but it's had panels sprayed and they don't match brilliantly, so for me it'd need a re-spray.

Gutted as it's an amazing car, but too much work for me.

A GT30 would be on a aftermarket manifold unless it's a hybrid and they have a habit of ****ting thereselves on Evo's

Very undecided at the moment.

I know where i am with the Impreza, it's how i want it to be.
But a big part of me feels like i'd like a change, even if it's just for a while

It'd have to be the right Evo though, and it'd appear very difficult to find.

It's if you can find another car after that is the same as what you had before... I would still have the trooper if I could turn back time
