WTA: Evo8 or Evo8 MR?

[ongteckweng]

hi guys...first of all, thanks for reading this thread n i know its a very often asked Qs. but i am still in dilemma here...i have been dreaming abt owning an evo since the legendary Evo 3 n now i think i am ready to own one of the legend in rallying...

i have a budget of rm150k+/- max and can't decide which one to get...Evo 8 or Evo 8 MR? been looking ard few units n most r selling ard rm14xk to rm15xk (used)...i know MR has much difference spec comparing to stock E8 but it is really worth it? i love the MR exterior but they r rare n hard to find replacement comparing to E8.

btw, would love if anyone know a used unit for sale so i can have more option before deciding which to get...thanks in advance...

go for E8 MR..u wont regret...

 

[azizi.aziz]

for me....evo8 gud enuff....what's so different? beside seat got E8MR badge (shape and feel same others),BBS rim (people will change also eventually),full carbon spoiler....

 

[ongteckweng]

thanks for the feedback. btw, performance wise, no diff?

 

[azizi.aziz]

performance...wise...got 2 only..Turbine and suspension i.e bilstein absorber....

Stock MR is good as it is without further modification. If you intend to mod your evo beyond original stock form (ie: turbo, upgrade engine internals, etc) it worth to get E8 instead. Just my opinion..

 

[kampoon]

MR = Mitsubishi Racing Edition....so is ur choice to get MR or not.....
MR also = Must Race in MLOCian term....hehe

 

[ongteckweng]

thanks guys...will keep that in mind...

Ong, like what Azizi and Sub7 mentioned, it depends what u expecting out of the car (at least for the 1st few years .. (hopefully) of use) ... if u expect to Upgrade theperformance upon buying the car within the 1st year or 2, then a Evo8 should do nicely ... (or an E7 .. have more $$ to mod. Bodykit also can upgrade to E9)

But if u intend not to touch anything for the next 4-5 years, then go for E8MR if u can find a good condition one ....

Good luck in your search ..

if join MLOC, my wallet sure kantoi big time...currently i am planning to keep the ride without modding @ least 2-3 yrs before doing anything on it...my target is 380 to 400whp which i think its achievable for a CT9A

found a nice looking MR in EOA WXX7x7 (04/08) which is in excellent condition but too bad i was late as someone make a booking n applying for loan. if they didn't go thru, will go for it...btw, the asking price is almost rm160k...what u guys think? reasonable? comes with greddy blow off n waste gate, hks power flow, custom banana, trust titanium exhaust, nology cable, lots of samco hoses, 2x Defi, 17" RGII, carbon fibre bonnet, fenders n side mirrors...
