What?

You all talk about this Evo VII like every single person here can afford it. You are talking about $30,000! Have you all gone to LaLa Land? I dont doubt there MAY(not likely) someone who could get it, but theres like a hundred of you talking about "Im gonna get one!" Hello! I myself would love an Evo VI RS-2 left hand drive more than anything, but if I can only afford an Mirage DE sedan, im not going to cream my pants about an Evo IV,V or VI. Be realistic, and dont sell dreams to yourself.

Some of us have spoiled parents, such as I :)

i totally agree with you
i myself would do almost anything to have a blue evolution VI GSR left hand drive. but i live in canada man. :mad:
well i know how you feel about people saying how their buying an EVO. but most people are in UK. they get lancers imported from japan. and in america we only get the crappy lancer OZ model or something.
most people buying these cars are probably middle to late 20's. with a very good paying job. or rich family.
but dont be mad at yourself. we all in north america share the same feeling and some are just BSing.

I am graduating college in May and I have a really good job lined up. I have a decent car that I will sell, which will provide for a heafty down payment. Not to mention the $ I will save from now till 2003. Also, Mitsubishi will give a instant $500 off for anyone that has graduated college in the past 2 yrs. That should bring monthly finance payments on the Evo to somewhere around $375 a month.

Not to mention I have already put down a deposit which makes me $500 closer to an Evo than everyone else. :evillaugh

Don't ask me how all the teenagers out there are going to swing a 30K car without their parents. After all that arguing, I guess everyone is getting 29K for their b-day and x-mas just like morgnum...

and some of us actually DO make enough money to afford one...

yea, but unfortunately you know he is right, most of the people on this site are just pozers and couldnt afford the EVO VII if it was less....

thats why you all need to buy the cheaper model and stick stickers on it to make it look like the more expensive model....hey it works with civics....

By the time I can afford one, There will probably be an EVO 10 out :(

I want a Evo VI eXtreme 2 badly.. but i'd be joyed with a Evo VI RS-2.

Under 30K could mean $29,999. I am hoping for $25,000 to $27,000.

I don't know how long the $500 off is for.
Just go to www.mitsucars.com (site is down right now)

hey man the 30k is just for the car. dont forget the taxes. that will rise the price to more than 30k. also insurance

Why dont you guys quit trying to discourage everyone. Anyone who wants this car can get it if they educate themselves correctly....its people like you who sit around and bitch that dont get it. Get a sales job making 8 an hour right now......manage your money correctly...invest...maybe real estate..flip property...rent apartments on 30 year loans...16% tax liens..How about you guys who cant afford it set a goal and do whatever is possible to reach it? Learn about personal finance instead of bitching how you cant afford it. Although im not talking about high school students.....and I believe you can make TONS more money educating yourself properly on the subject of money than going to college....but thats just me...I know I'll be able to afford it...I dont like people who try to ruin other peoples dreams....that dream just may be what gets them the car.....and you giving up hope may be what keeps you from getting the car

I am a college student currently probably till around 2004ish
i have a ranger that i will trade in or possibly sell private like= aproximately $8-10k

i have a schwab account that has a decent puddle of cash brewing

leaving +or- $20k for my own damn means

hmmm early retirement or an EVO 7....?

you all know what i plan on doing......
:bloated:

Just wait till the car really comes out because no one will know how much it will actually cost. Over 30k or under, its no biggy because if you can fork out at least 27k for it it wouldn't make much difference because you will probably be able to afford one. But I doubt the car will be under 30k including taxes and stuff. This is a rare car and not just a typical car you see on the streets everyday. Also it wont be out until next year so you never know if the price will increase because its too early to tell. Theres no GUARANTEE it will be under 30k by the time its available. I have seen alot of magazines quote prices on cars but when it really does come out its not always true on what they say. Just chill and wait :D

If you love the car so much I am pretty sure that even though its a couple of grand more, you will eventually fork out the extra cash to get one.

Here's some perspective for you folks: my E7 cost me US$83,780 in this part of the world. Which is about the same price you'd pay for a BMW 318 here. That was just for informational purposes only, don't read too deeply into that.

Peace out.

That has to be a typo......$83,000 US????

Well, I can afford it. I don't even have to sell any bodyparts or donate any fluids! :flipa:

whoever started this thread, to lazy to look at name.....first off, i dont see the majority of people saying they are gonna get it. I see alot of people saying how they want it and other half saying how they will get it. Im 20 years old and i can buy the car right out. Thats not with mommy or daddy helping me. I was wise enough to save well over 20k the last 5 years ive been working.

anyhow, stop bitching.

oh and btw i WILL be getting the evo WHEN it does finally come out.

Nope, it's not. Look here. (http://www.ez-import.com/model.ezi?cmd=show-details&carid=64#price). The conversion rate is $US 1 = $SGD 1.85

Now, if you had to pay that kind of money for a BMW 318 or an Evo, I think the choice is pretty clear.... :D

BTW yes I paid for the car myself, I'm in my late 20s....

Cheers.

GaDang!!!!

Well...congratz man....it's a beautiful ride...

Do you have any pics of it?

Thanks man.... anyway I haven't gotten any pics of it cos it's really a common car here and I haven't made any mods to it. It's also hampered by the fact that I don't have a digital camera (all the money went to the car loan haha. :) )

Anyway, I'd think it be a cool car to drive in MN; I spent 4 years in UW-Madison :)

Cheers.

i got the lancer oz and i am happy with it.anyway performance parts are showing up every where. i can have that oz with the same power as the evo7 with just a rre trubo kit and a magnaflow Exhaust System.all they have over oz is the all wheel drive .


:flipa: die civic's die:badass: :badass:

and the fact that if you mod it as much as you did the OZ, you'd get raped by it.


anyways, I plan on getting the evo within a year of graduating from college (I'm a second sem. freshman right now). I'll be working part time during school, full time during the summer, and getting gigs on the side in a quartet, which can be very lucrative in and of itself, especially considering I'm not half bad, and I manage to get a good reputation whenever I play, which leads to even more gigs. With that, and the fact that i have almost no personal expenses since my parents are paying for college and living, getting 30k by my own devices really isn't going to be that hard. I actually had it all budgeted out about 4 months ago, but I don't remember all of the figures. If everything goes as planned though, I should have at LEAST 35k for the car in 3 1/2 years, and that provides a cushion. If I don't make it to the cost, I'll have enought to make an extremely large down payment, and enough monthly income to finance. I don't think its going to be a problem, since I'm a very patient person, and I can out stubborn a rock, so I wont get sidetracked into any other major purchases. I'm not worried, I'll have an evo.

well, I definitely wont have enough money to buy a Skyline. Besides, I want an evo more. I've wanted one for the past 5 years, and thats the car I'll want 2-3 years from now (I'll be setting up a test-drive of one as soon as I can. I'm very focused on buying it as soon as I have the money, or the steady income and credit rating to afford monthly payments, and the way things are going, that means I'll be buying the car as a graduation present to myself. Or a present for going to grad school or something (getting my PhD in classical violin performance, and hopefully a degree of some sort in education or theory. my parents are proud of me. :D .).

I have a car now that will easily last me until then. probably even longer if need be.

I am pretty set on buying an evo new. I really want to make sure the car gets the TLC it deserves from day 1, and my past experiences with used cars is that people usually don't care for their cars as much as I do.

Don't worry about me, More planning has gone into this then just saying "I like evos, I'm gonna buy one."

lanceroz17,

you're going to have a lancer OZ going as fast as an Evo with just a RRE turbo kit and a MagnaFlow exhaust? that's right up there with all the little highschoolies saying how they're buying an Evo with their job at Pizza Hut. what about stronger pistons and rods? what about cylinder sleeves? you try putting more than 6 pounds of boost in that engine and you're going to crack the block the first time you hit the gas. to turbocharge an N/A car with anything more than 5-6 psi you're going to have to make extensive engine mods.

to the post:
i start a nice paying job in September when i graduate with a Masters degree. which gives me 'til january to save up for a nice down payment and hopefully monthly payments in the low 400s.

-moldy

if you didn't know the rmr lancer has all those mods on the engine to allow it to hold more pounds of boost and it only cost $6,000 to do it .ok and blair told me that he was head to head to evo7 when he race it ok.anyway you guys will see some pic's and spec,s at summer time of the trenton lancer club then you see what i mean.and if any lancer's evo want some come and see us .bye



:flipa: die civic's die:badass:

Not to step on your toes Lanzeroz17, but unless RRE has changed their specs on the turbo upgrade they put out, then the horspower increase on the dino from the techs mouth on the phone to me was:
140 HP to the wheels. That was probably untuned of course, but they threw it togethor last year for the SEMA. So quite possibly they could have built a better kit. But just the turbo and exhaust won't get you to the RAW 276hp of the EVO. And RhysMillinRacing(RMR), is building there own kits, but no release on parts or price yet, I talk to these guys alot as well. Lots more work need done "grasshopper."

The manifold on the kit your talking about is the stock manifold cut to house a turbo, and I havn't seen any new products from them yet.

So post all fo your links, scince my 14 hours a day of searching is pulling up slim parts in US right now...Or your dreaming. Either way, i want parts for my OZ just as bad as you, so i custome built and fit a couple.

By chance, hope I havn't pissed you off, but can you tell me who makes cams and cam-gear for the lancer, if so, would be nice. No one I have heard of yet, and I've called Crane and a couple of the other big ones, they all tell me it's in the works, but no promises, so if you know, please tell.

Im not attracted to the EVO VII as much as I am to the VI. But by the time I can afford one ill probably looking at purchasing a EVO VII anyway.

Does anyone think the EVO VI or EVO's in general have an expired date? what i mean is, a period of time when they just lose their fashion.

I still think the EVO VI is great, wonder how long it will last though.. :(

I just want to point out that the lancer oz can be mod to allmost the same hp with a little bit of things.i am not saying that it would destory it just that it could keep up with it .plus i know the oz cant destory a evo its a evo A.K.A the Supra and WRX Eater.IF THE LANCER NAME IS ON IT THE CAR IS GOOD .IF IT HAS EVO NEXT TO THE LANCER NAME IS A GREAT CAR.


:flipa: CIVIC'S DIE !:badass:

lanceroz17,

i'm calling the bullshit flag on you again. you're not going to go from 120 HP to 260 HP without EXTENSIVE engine modifications. that's more than double the horsepower. if it was as simple as you say, we'd all be driving around in 12 second cars. since there isn't much of a tuner market yet for the american lancer, surf around and look at other kits for non-turbo cars to get an idea of price and performance. my friend's got his 98 civic up to 180 HP to the wheels, and it cost him around $5 grand. you can't just strap a turbo and exhaust on a naturally aspirated car and expect it to do much. the engine's just aren't designed for that. they'll blow apart.

-moldy

hahahahaha.....idiot...sounds like this one kid at school that thought the size of your engine decided how much oil to put in, ahahahaha

Humanoid Typhoon hahahahaha.....idiot...sounds like this one kid at school that thought the size of your engine decided how much oil to put in, ahahahaha

HEY!!!! when i was younger thats waht i thought.. no j/k hehe :D


I hate the states.. i am just gonna end up moving to japan to get either my evo vi or my silvia or my subby STi, or my skyline.. well u get teh picture:licker: :sun: :D

the size of your engine DOES determine the amount of oil to put in your car, and graphics make a car go faster, I SWEAR. oh yeah, and all you have to do to make your car as fast as an Evo is strap a turbo and exhaust on it, you don't even have to hook it up.

import freak, where in S. Florida are you?

-moldy

you guys have it all wrong...
horsepower is determinded by:
the amount of neon lights your car has on it,
the pitch of your exhaust note,
the ratio of Tail wing to wheel diameter,
and the # of Type-R logos hot glued to your trunk lid

the stickers increase your cornering

and yes of course you can turbocharge NA cars with out any further modications besides a K&N air filter


but hey thats just my opinion I could be dumb

vrooom vroom!

i always thought it was just the hub caps that gave it speed

oil... oops.. i thought it was gasoline.. my bad

this thread has definately gone to shit

hey you guys see the new Maxim?!?!?


hehehehe:bloated:

Moldy.....To a degree you are right....I dont agree with him that he will be pulling 267 from the OZ anytime soon, but just because an engine isnt turbo doesent mean it cant hold the pressure....if your friend spent that much moding a USDM engine....then, no offense, but hes a fool and obviously didnt do his research..I have a friend with a crx, jdm b16a1 running 10 pounds of boost all day every day.....The engine takes it and pulls like a mother....the car was built for under 6 grand, It hasnt been dynoed by I expect somewhere upwards of 200hp from it. We plan to up the boost to 13 psi (still on stock internals) and bring it to the track...I expect low 13's maybe even high 12's from it.

Back to the main subject.....

Yes... some of us make our own money. Some of us can an WILL buy an EVO VII for almost 30,000.

Technicly...after rent and bills, I should be able to pay it off in 2 years of buying it. But I will probably go for 5 years and buy other goodies also.

kevin

Mekanikal Threat,

i never said a N/A engine can't hold some pressure. my friend had only 6 lbs because he hadn't done any internals. he bought the new civic and just started to fix it up cuz he liked the looks, he wasn't looking for a race car. if the CRX is holding 10 lbs that's great. those cars were built to handle a little more than todays civics. but i wouldn't want to dump 13 lbs into it without reinforced sleeves, rods, pistons and rings. it may hold 13 lbs for a while. but the engine just wasn't designed to run under that kinda pressure. at the minimum i'd say there's pretty good chance of frying a piston ring. good luck to him though.

but there's no way you're going to take a US lancer OZ and drop the necessary 16-17 psi into it that lanceroz17 thinks he will. NO WAY! and if he wants to try it, i wanna be there the first time he floors it with the turbo strapped on.
