Hi ya. I've been looking for an evo7.i have an astra vxr and been offard a black evo 7 2001 import running at 345bhp but also been offerd an silver evo 7fq300 2002plate. If you guy had choice between these 2 car which one would you go for. I don't no much about evo

Anymore info on the import? The fq models were built for the UK market, there are a few types of imports so if you can find out a little more? Also has it got history etc.? I would prob go for the fq myself as it stands. But depends on the info u can get with the import.

I wouldn't say built for uk market, that was the 260
Fq300 were just rebranded imports sold via Mitsi

There is a guy in for sale section selling his evo 8 and is after an astra vxr.

Ah, yeah your right b6lee I forgot about the baby, "260" I automaticly thought of the 300. So hands up I stand corrected. Import wise excluding the fq models that were sold via UK mitsi there was the gsr and rs models wernt there?

It only has part history .80k . The fq300 model had full history silver with 65k and complete standard . The evo 8 is cat d, us it worth it that price being a cat d.

Personaly I would stay away from a cat-d but I suppose I would have to do some investigating into how it become a cat-d first. So with that being said ild go for the 7 sounds ok and would that be the gsr?. I would check that rattle though for sure! as if its just loose surely you would tighten it and not even mention it? :/ But with the "part history" I'm a fussy git and myself with these type of motors would want full history. Im only going by what you have said. Can't you save a little extra and maybe go for a clean 8? Or look into a tidy 6?
