Newbie evo 8

[AL31]

Hi everyone

I will be on the look out for an evo 8 in the next couple of months as I am in the process of selling my rx8

I will probably be looking for a red/yellow one with mileage under 50k with full service history I have about 11k to spend is this realistic for an pristine condition evo 8?

Where are the best places to look other than piston heads, auto trader and eBay? And this forum

Are the any regular meets in the Manchester area?

Hi and welcome. If you look hard enough you could get a 9 for that much with crimbo round the corner

Hi thanks for all the friendly welcomes

What kind of power would you be able to get with 11k on a evo 8 and 9? Would you be looking at about 350-400 bhp on a pristine 8? And 300 bhp for a 9 if you could find one? I do like the rear of the 9 better than the 8 but I could put the back bumper off a 9 on the 8. I also like all the carbon goodies which I would defiantly do

Welcome along mate

You should pick up a decent evo 8 for that sort of money plenty around the 400bhp mark.
Yellow is a good colour too
