How much you spent on your Evo in the last 2 years?

Hi, I'm just trying to get an idea how much people have spent on repairs that were not expected the last couple of years.

I'm thinking of getting an evo 8 mr and just want to get an idea of yearly costs and try get an average to get an idea.

I spent £120 on another radiator, this time changed it completely for a ali rad instead of atandard, also new fan was required at £15 and thats it for the last couple years. Aside from rubber. But then i hardly use it now it gathers dirt outside the flat.

They are well made and look after you if you look after them. Service it, feed it and it will be fine. I have the 8 and its a cracking car.

How ever!!!!! Although repairs are few...... Upgrades are a must and will set you back a fortune its a drug. Im just lucky i have a cheaper toy to upgrade now, bikes cost a fraction of an evo

depends on what you can do yourself ?if you drive it hard it will eat brake pads and discs ,
clutches ,drinks fuel, fluid changes which have to be done regular but they are high performance
and you have to stay on top of them!
what have i spent on mine this year?suppose about £300 and its been off the road for most of that,but if
she needs it she gets it ! last year i most probably spent about £1300 though

It also depends massively on your mechanical compentency, I've changed my clutch, OEM replacement was £200 but if you add labour from a garage to that you could be looking at over £800? (not sure what the going rate is) Ive also used a dead shock as an excuse to get coilovers that cost £800 but could have had it fixed much cheaper. I've also Polybushed the whole front end, replaced the wishbones, drop links and track rod ends that didn't need doing as such but I like to keep on top of things. Finally it's recomended you service the things every 4.5k miles, decent Diff oils gearbox oil and engine oil etc aren't cheap so if you do a lot of miles that will rack up very quickly!
