Traded my Evo for...
2003 Nissan 350Z Touring. 6sp, Black w/ Black heats leather seats and mirrors, 225/45 front 245/45 rear 18" wheels and tires, Bose 6 disc 7 speaker stereo, VDC.
Here my old Evo:
Mods: ACT Clutch/ Alpine deck/ Autometer boost gauge/ BFG KDW Tyres/ Blitz FATT/ Greddy Shift ****/ Hallman MBC/ Hawk Rear pads/ JDM MR BOV/ NGK spark plugs/
Perrin antenna/ Project Mu pads/ Rockford Fosgate amp & sub/ RS*R cat-back/ Seibon CF hood/ Tein H-Tech/ TurboXS intake/ Quaife Limited Slip Diff.
Got rid of it cause it kept breaking and having too many problems.

Rep Power: 0 Stock Advans were replaced at 10k miles, I replace the hvac at 13k miles, the clutch at 20k miles, the front diff at 30k, the power sterring pump and starter at 33k miles. Think the transmisson was going out as well as the rear diff.

What specific problems did the Evo give you? I may want to pick one up soon. Is there a forum where i can read about common problems?

Rep Power: 258 now that will definitely help me cancel my decision in trading in my civic for an evo. I guess all of those horror stories about the maintenance of the evo are true.

Rep Power: 334 i guess its just a risk you gotta take. If i get an Evo and it has alot of problems, i just gotta end up selling it.
What im scared about is that i will put a lot of money into modifying it and than oem parts like starters and transmissions will fail or even the hvac.
