These look absolutely stunning and I've always wanted one, but never quite got around to buying one, so reading this hasn't helped!
I'm sure that an Evo of this era feels fast, but are they actually that fast compared to the plethora of 300+ HP hot hatches commonly available now?
New cars bore me to tears, there's such a lack of driver engagement if you can't spend £100,000 plus. I'm sure that an Evo of this era feels fast, but are they actually that fast compared to the plethora of 300+ HP hot hatches commonly available now?
Sure a 335D could probably walk away in a straight line, but..

Parts, now that’s another story. More and more going ‘no longer available’!

After 21 years of driving Evo 6's, I'm now selling and moving onto pastures new, should my GSR/TME/RS mongrel be of interest to anyone.

Hi!
I’ve recently done a 2k mile journey to the south of France and back via the Alps (from the Frejus tunnel to Nice) in an FK8 Civic Type R and I was truly blown away by how good it was at every part of the journey!
Motorway cruising was a big surprise and so were all the controls and ability in the Alps and it was plenty fast enough standard power but I didn’t think about selling my 6!!
I know you’ve loved this car, I hope you don’f regret selling it!

Fantastic looking car, sure it will go fast!!
What's next?
I'm being tight lipped, there is just one specific car in mind. It's a vehicle that is modified to a similar degree as the Evo, but if it doesn't work out I will simply keep the Evo. What's next?

I will regret it, I know I will. It's a fantastic machine, one capable of making me grin like not many can. But, the replacement is / will be just as wonderful.

Ok so you’ve spent some time with the possible replacement?
Enough to have really convinced you?
I've been lucky to have done a handful of track days with it, and a few hundred road miles, yes! Enough to have really convinced you?

Good luck with the sale mate! Looking forward to seeing what's next.
Been thinking on and off about potentially selling mine since I've done what I wanted with it, and still can't bring myself to cut it up and cage it...but genuinely don't know what I would replace it with.
It's almost irreplaceable isn't it, there's just such a void of anything interesting in the price bracket, with that much feedback.

they are just fantastic cars and regarding vs current hot hatches - evo's can absolutely hold their own on the road!
good luck with the sale!
Indeed they can, and thanks! good luck with the sale!
I sold the Evo to a couple of guys in the USA, who imported it earlier this year. Unfortunately, they are needing to move it on already, but it’ll be interesting to see what it goes for!
