Interesting guys :D Would you's still choose an 8 even if it was the most basic model? Evo 8 260 gsr or even just an 260? They seem to sell for a bit cheaper and some with the Evo 8 me bits and bobs.. Kinda like buying an ej9 or ek3/4 and then putting in a b16 and all the bits of an ek9 on...

What do you think of Evo 6's? :P

Massive brakes, coilovers, but generally it's track ready.. Hmm I know what you mean! That's why I'd rather leave the bills out and see what people would still pick :p I love both cars, dc5 looks more evil looking but Evo is more aggressive looking :/

I know it ain't an ek9 but would be great for opinions. The cost of an supercharged dc5 is about the same as an Evo 8, if not dc5's can cost more. Supercharged dc5 is about 300bhp/200tq An Evo 8 would be remapped to 400bhp/400tq Forget about running costs and servicing. What...

My dad use to have an Evo 7 and then sold it. Then later he got an Evo 8 fq340 and it was fast as.. and now I'm itching to get an Evo! Want one so bad, seen a few decent Evo 8's with around 400bhp for good money. How much does it cost owning and running one compared to a general type r? Mot...

I was considering putting that on the list but its more of a rare car and its worth more so didnt want a massive price gap! Although i love an fd2! Seen a white one a few weeks back, looked amazing!

Sorry about these posts but just seeing what choices you guys would make. Kinda like a poll :P So lets say all these cars are in standard form, every part is oem and hasnt been tinkered with. I know its the ek9 forum but driving an ek9 doesnt mean you wouldn't pick another car.. So, If you had...

Interesting choices guys! :nice:

My only problem is, i can't wait lol my ek3 is kinda :angry2: so ideally i need another car as soon as.. Plus i'm kind of bored of it regardless as it is causing problems, theres Type R's getting better mpg than i do and i'm the one with the eco civic :(( Don't want to chuck more money into it...

Right so for the past few weeks i've been looking about for a new car. I've always wanted an EK9 but insurance is still steep. EP3 insurance is steep as well. Although i wouldn't mind paying a bit more for insurance if its a really nice example. Been looking at cars ranging from DC2, Audi A4/8...

Tbh I use to hate this car. Compared to the ep3 it was like a spaceship! But now... It's growing on me lol and I'm even considering in buying one. Insurance is alot cheaper than an ep3/ek9 aswell! Who has one and what is it like compared to an ek9? Is it much more to run?

Thanks for all the replies! I'm not sure which A4 I'd like. Diesel ones have good torque but lack power, quite like the 2 or 3 litre ones which have 200bhp+! Insurance aint too bad on them too. Seen an Audi A5 today which I also quite like. Not sure what other cars to get. Bmw's are nice but...

Audi's are really starting to grow on me lately, but does anyone know how they run? Are the reliable? And so on... Quite like the Audi A4. Been looking about and some decent ones with about 250bhp :D only thing putting me off is I can imagine them costing a bomb to maintain..

Yeah the dials really do it for me tbh :D and i heard the back is tiny too.. Never actually sat in one before. But going to test drive one later on today! :)) Problem with that is i can't afford a brand new car, i'd imagine them both being in the £20k region.. I also forgot to mention if i...

So the cylinder head gasket has fryed on my ek3 and the costs fixing it might not be worth it as the body work isn't the best. So it's either fix it which would cost about £400. Or finance another car. Ideally always wanted an ek9, dc2 etc but insurance is still abit crazy. Road tax and...

So if you were in the position you would just save for another car? I wouldnt get much for my ek tbh, rust is bad and the rest of the bodywork, i'd get more scrapping it lol. Don't understand how people younger than me have ek9's and just started driving and paying less than my car, im 21...

Yeah gearbox and everything is included. Its just fitting it being expensive, the guy i was going to get to fit the engine use to charge £600 but due to it being a pain in the backside he now charges £800 to fit it. But i just asked my uncles mate there and he quoted me alot cheaper. So i...

Well maybe not £3000 exact but a few hundred off.. B18c is off my mate and he is selling it to me a lot cheaper than they sell for, its just i need mounts and loom. it should be costing me about £2300 for the engine, loom, mounts and to get it fitted. Its just its better off getting a remap so...

Good thing about ek3's compared to ej9's is my car comes with 262mm brakes and front anti roll bar. So in the meantime i would get better brake pads and i guess i'll just have to brake earlier, and save up until i can afford better discs and pads, and also a rear brake conversion as i have...
