This was my thought process for the Evo. First of all, both of my brother in law's worked for ralli art, and one still works at Mitsubishi, so I'm lucky in the sense that, when I do go to look at one, I can take either of them and they can show me what to look for, also the do's and don'ts of owning one. I know the fluids have to be kept on top of as a must.
They are a great investment at this time, especially as I plan to keep it relatively stock, new wheels, intercooler and remap upgrade. 4 doors, turbocharged, good power, 4wd and in turn, a great daily to a certain extent. Not much of a rust problem either, on imports or UK specs, but it does mean, I'd have to get rid of the Z....but, it's a turbo jap car, a friend of mine has one and has kindly said he'll let me have a go in his to get an idea of what they are like to drive.
