go as stock as possible, UNLESS you have good and i say GOOD mechanics around.

go price some of the evo parts and you will see the kind of $$s

I'm really trying to get one stock(ish) but everytime I check one, its got some negative history to go with it

If anyone has got a link to one lemme know.

Thanks. I have checked out quite a few already mind you, and for various reasons I've had to walk away.

because you'll crash it... and still pay installments while you get a patch-up repair locally.

Ease into cornering hard and learn the car's characteristics gradually...or you'll be sorry.

I like this 8-)

Me too. Every car I've owned, whether sedate or a wild, I've ALWAYS made sure to learn the cars' characteristics before even attempting to push its limits.

i was wondering the same thing recently, but decided against buy a very modified vehicle for the same reasons listed above,

Although its a nice idea to some to just pay for another mans sweat and vision, its also a dangerous chance and you may actually end up sweating more,
Also as scantifier stated performance modifiacations usually take a toll on the vehicle, so you might just be buying another mans headake.
however if you trust the person you are buying the car from and know ppl that can vouch for him, you know ppl like mechanics ,or, orther tuners then it may be worth it ,

many factors to consider but for me the general rule is to build it my self.

I think a highly modded evo will inevitably have "issues". I feel strongly that a car must be up to daily use, boost at 4500RPM is not as driveable as say 3500RPM.

Then a gain, a lightly modded Evo will have the driveability with a lot of power eh.

not true.... moded car is aplus to a new owner....juss get the details of the mods and get a real mechanic to run through the car

The car seems well built on paper with reputable brand name parts(Cosworth, Eagle,Walbro,CP etc.) Mechanic/Tuner are Anil/Prentice. The major problem seems to be to get to actually see the car
