Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

[LingLing]

I fail? I remember going there to grab parts and seeing the tag read $24xxx,. It must've been a Ralliart. My apologies.

I vote build the x and forget about it. You sound like most girls I know that can't make up their mind.

If you want to go fast and do it cheaply, why not just get a dsm then? Motor are cheap, a ton of parts, etc, etc. Then you could buy a decent daily too with the money you save.

I would love a DSM, but as a third car. I love my evo and the 8/9's as well. At this point in my life I want a fast evo.

As of now I need a second car for sure, something reliable and boring.

And sorry i don't think spending every cent to my name that i have now and will make in the next few months on my car, its a big deal to me.

I just checked Brookdale, the cheapest new X they have is 34560...not exactly 24k.

They also have no used ones.

Hence, my apology.

Sorry missed that, wasn't trying to be a jerk, just figured i would check. I would really be screwed if new X's were that much. i would for sure keep it then.

I feel ya man, I spent almost all my money on my car last summer. Although it was, it sucked at the same time. If I could I think I would sell my two cars and get an evo as well.

Whatever you decide hope you're happy with it! Good luck!

Thanks, I will figure it out eventually. I was just planning to fix up my new house that i bought last summer, yard needs a lot of work. Honestly if my yard was in good shape, this wouldn't be a decision, built motor would win.

Ya, I test drove a BASE EvoX @ brookdale and they were talking like $32k or so, sticker is $34,500 IIRC.

Anyways, save up, buy long block, install drop-ins, and continue to beat some ass. :)

Also, what's with this $60k comment? That's kinda a half-truth.

Kind of, kind of not...If I keep the car and build the motor, my investment total will be in the 50's, possibly close to 60, i don't even want to add it up at that point.
