Now i no this is a toyota page and i myself am a Toyota fan, but i really like evo 4's for some reason and toyota have nothing similar, and their selection of turbo cars are limited compaird to dirty subaru etc etc, just wanted some feedback on them evo's, how realiable they are etc as i have heard very little about them, hopfully the price tag resembles realiablility

Cheers guys

Evo 4's are ok, their main issue they have is the AYC crapping out. They're substantially tougher both engine and gearbox wise than a similar vintage WRX unfortunately.

why bother when you can get an evo7 for not all that much more. Or an ST205 for a whole lot less!!

(although I am quite partial to the looks of evo 4s myself :oops:

thats a 5 i think
they have the guards(way better)

by **Zitchu** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 6:50 pm

Yea dont bother going for a 4 man just hold out a bit longer and get a 5. Better brakes, more flaring, in fact just that little bit better all round.

but i want one yesterday hahahah

by **Zitchu** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 7:00 pm

Yea i was the same :lol:

but after getting the 5 i was glad i did.

by **NOLAW** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 7:20 pm

well my favorite evos would have to be the 5 , 6 and 8

too many people have the 4s these days, half of them a lil muppets thinking there the 'shiz' and turning them into horrible looking things :roll:

keep the exterior standard with nice rims and suspension, few engine mods to give it some more grunt, now that = nice!

I now have a evo 5 definitly would never own another st205... or any 3sgte car.

by **AE82 FXGT** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 7:51 pm

yeah, after wieghing it all up, doing weeks of research and talking to evo nuts, I found that the 4 is the least desirable by evo enthusiasts. Apparently the gizzmos the 4 introduced were a bit iffy, and they sussed it all in the 5

I thought the 3 looked coolest but not so much now cause all the mock evo 3/lancers and evo 3 front bumpers on all most everything.

Just get the latest one you can afford except the 4 IMO

and maintain it well, i saw one the other day with a hole in the side of the transfer case and a $&#$% rear diff, the trade price for the diff and the transfer case and then labour would have bought an st205

yeah i like em too wouldnt get a IV as they as the first of that platform but alot of the issues were sorted out on the V and VI , however the VII is the same deal and therefore there the same deal they were put on diet and refined into the 8 and 9

Been thinkin about gettin one myself definately a 5 with some coilovers and a set of nice volks/rays wheels

bloody nice cars!!!

IV's have the worst power-weight of the range I think. Get a 3 (hah good luck finding one) or a 5.

Get 5 or 6.
4 was the failure of all failures by mitsi.

Will he accept forged money to pay for it

plus the clutch design on the evo4 results in a required engine rebuild due to the crank moving back and forward sometime after 100k
