Hi well after spending a good few weeks looking at e46 m3s I came across an ad for a 2004 evo 8 fq300 went to look at it today and I've put a deposit down and I pick it up tomorrow
What an awesome car iv always had vag cars but the evo put a smile on my face from ear to ear so hello to the evo community happy to be here
Some photos of the new ride

Thanks matey
Iv had it 2 days and iv washed it on both of them it's like my daily homage to this awesome car my jaw hurts because iv had a permanent grin on my face since I picked it up

Looking good, pretty much looks like a 9 and with cheeky mr fq360 wheels aswell, mr carbon fibre rear vortex and front splitter would finish it off a treat! Very nice in red, dont tend to see many red ones about even when i go to car shows so bit special.

Thanks tomy that's what I'm planing on mate few carbon touches
Had a chance to take it out for a spirited drive today dam these things can shift I'm not happy with the current suspension but that's something I can look into car feels solid and stops on a dime gearbox very tight all 6 gears pull well the car takes me back to being 17 in my Renault 5gt turbo I'm spending a lot of time on the net at the min trying to get my bearings I'm totally out my comfort vag zone but enjoying the window shopping there are a crazy amount of parts for these cars and some of the prices lol... If only
