change from Civic Sports to EVO VII - downgrade or upgrade?

[denot]

Hi all,

yes just got bored @ work and comes up with this idea of selling my FD2 and buy EVO VII (or EVO VII GTA). Do you guys think its downgrading or upgrading? Any comments?

^_^

[totti]

performance upgrade

reliability & luxury/comfort downgrade

simple!

[GreekWarrior]

how would it be a downgrade? lol

[denot]

performance upgrade

reliability & luxury/comfort downgrade

simple!

hmmm luxury maybe downgrade, but reliability? is EVOs crapier than thai build civic?

[rpm boy]

UPGRADE... the reason its less comportable is cause ur actually able to do rediculous g forsed in the evo when u cant in the civic :p

[totti]

2001 turbo import vs 2006/2007 n/a honda? you do the maths

[Nax]

god damnit rob

trade the fd for a evo x

then we can talk


u wanna be another lancer driver? honestly? honestly?! i can send u a wig and some breast implants or some skin whitener if you want

stay in the fd, if ur gonna upgrade, make sure its a massive upgrade:D

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

EVO>Civic

real answer is a test drive ffs.

[OMG.JAI xD]

4wd compared to 2wd.

fd sport isnt even in the same category as the evo.

youre asking on a honda forum.
its gonna be still biased to honda.
older car doesnt mean downgrade.


08 micra to 03 euro.
think about it. no way in hell micra>euro.

[denot]

08 micra to 03 euro.
think about it. no way in hell micra>euro.

08 micra (new) is cheaper than 03 euro (used)

so 06 civic fd2 (new) is cheaper than 01 EVO VII (used)

so u sed 100% evo > civic FD2?

[string]

There is pretty much nothing more reliable than a Honda engine, they last _forever_. That's what you get from a company who makes more of them than anyone else.

[wokstar88]

AWD>FWD

Different performance groups: Upgrade to Evo
As many said before, luxury downgrade.

[Type R Positive]

Definate upgrade. An Evo will introduce you the the 'real car world'.

[philBo]

upgrade for sure bro!

[Crapdaz]

upgrade 4 more PWR!

[INVSBL]

the only downside of a swap like that is comfert....

but who gives a shit when ur hauling ass.

[xtercii]

changing from honda to anything else will be downgrade...

honda is on the top of the world mate....

[defect]

yeap, on top of the world.

sad to see Honda pull out of F1 after 44 years!!

Ill take a Evo Vii over a Fd2 anyday. just wouldnt pick the GT-A Evo

[denot]

hahahah

found more drawbacks:
1. insurance is a beep
2. my baby is on the way, will evos be too loud? dont want him to cry everytime I rev the car :p

edit: woot??? just realise that this is now on noob forum, not lounge :eek:

[INVSBL]

mabye cause its a noob question?? :p

[SiReal]

Define your requirement of a car, then that should clearly guide you in a direction for the solution.

[denot]

or use my force to determine which one is the best for me :p

[Type R Positive]

stock evo's are quiet.

[CB7_OWNER]

GTA is the Automatic one isn't it?? well for the EVO VII GTA at least

[denot]

^^^ yep GTA is only available for EVO VII...

[Type R Positive]

Please don't get a GTA......

[denot]

y not?

[hiepy]

all i wanted to say was the turning circle on evos suck.
higher insurance
cost more to maintain

advatanges-
4dr, performance

anyways, both cars understeer

[farkmedead]

Definately evo. I'm planning on getting one in 2 years. I'll see how the finances add up.

evo VII in 2 years time? wow thats going to be a 9 years old car? :(

[defect]

y not?

whats new, all AWD have shit turning circle, so did the gti-r, so does the wrx. who gives a shit about doing 3 point turns :>


EVO > Fd2

[dupac->]

lol

evo owns civic

[farkmedead]

evo VII in 2 years time? wow thats going to be a 9 years old car? :(

lol ye i've considered that, but I really don't want the six speed in the 8.

[billysch]

....i recently sell my 94 eg VTI, and got a 02 WRX

... thats a fuXking damn good upgrade due to its performence

EVO7 is not as good as EVO8 ... they are much different in everything

EVO8 will be the best, if you only have 20000 - 25000 , go for 02-04 STI WRX...

much faster than Evo 7



luxury ??? fuXk that ... dont be silly , how can a civic call "luxury" ? not even a accord

i am a civic lover but compare to EVO ... the new civic is shit...

not as "luxury" [as someone said] as accord

not as "fast" as many other car , even in the similar price range and year


if i were you and i have that much... why take the civic ??

unless i brought the civic since its brand new, otherwise... get rip of it

Hi all,

^_^

lol how are you denny?

well in your case. its definately a upgrade because its going to be more practical. evo has the performance of a sports car and still maintaining the presence of a family sedan. with reliability. they are both japanese built cars. ones obviously newer than the other. so its roughly the same. anyways denny, you might as well buy a evo. your going to spend money & effort modding up your civic to look and feel like a sports car so why not spend the effort and money towards a real sports car. just my 2 cents anywayz. good luck with it bro :thumbsup:

[F.O.B Squad]

The EVO will be an all round performance upgrade. But i never liked the sevens too be honest. I liked EVOS except that model.

hey mingy... planning to test drive some 2molo, but i think i'm more into V35 now :p the probs is I dun like the 4 doors one... anyway, wat abt u? y u go for the S15? also, u have suggestion on a good importers (which doesnt sell their cars expensive)

cheers

[VTECMACHINE]

For a daily... i'd definately go with the Civic, for fuel efficiency, and a chilled ride. Also reliablility and costs and avaialablilty of parts that may break.

But overall, the EVO is a MUCH better car in terms or performance.

[denot]

how "unreliable" do you guys think of 2001 EVO VII with 35k-ish kilometers on it? Will it become "junk" in 2-3 years?

[dc2dc2dc2]

dc2r = worst turning circle
lulz

anywayz
evo shits all over fd2
seiously how can u even compare.

[NightKids]

EP3R vs Evo... let the discussions begin!

[denot]

^^^ no coz ep3r has 2 doors, no good 4 my baby later :p

[Riviera]

lol its an upgrade for sure...

whats there to argue, you really cant compare the 2...

ones AWD turbo ones a FWD 2liter NA... whats worth discussing...


maybe just start a pros and cons...


whats are the pro's and con's with going FD2 to EVO?

Pros :thumbsup:
*Turbo...
*AWD = safer in wet conditions...
*Very sexy Family car lol...

Cons :thumbdwn:
*your looking at auto.... poo box...
*its not a honda...
*its a mitsubitshi
* i dunno what else really cause i dunno much about them lol

[drated]

buy an evo 7 with a manual box !

[cupnoodle]

The only thing that could possibly be a downgrade from a Civic is quite literally, a piece of poo.

[040501912]

its all depends how ur driving style are.

Young in heart, daring and like to do stupid crap
FD - last long as more reliable
EVO - Will break to piece after 1-2 years

Matured drive, sensible, hardly trash
EVO is you choice - sporty, Fast, 4 Doors but you loose your comfy n fuel economy :p
FD - Luxury, slower than evo, drive in style! good fuel eco! and still have warranty LOL!

make your mind! is your choice.

[VTECMACHINE]

Wouldn't call either an FD Civic or a Evo, stylish. Both have crappy interior. New FD interiors rattle and shit. Build quality of the FD is quite crap. However, the actual Chassis is beautiful.

Evo is more fun and raw end of the day. It won't fall apart after a few years. Get the Evo.

I Have to disagree with you there mate... the one that i love the most from my fd is the interior (despite its "rattle and shit")... especially the "cockpit" area...

[BC8]

Go the Evo.!

I've got the FD1 as a my daily and looking at an Evo down the track as an upgrade though insurance is killer for me at the moment. Prices are reasonably okay at the moment. Comfortably sits 5 people, can't compare FD1 and Evo. Both have the their own purpose. Wouldn't get the Evo 7 AUTO version.

simple. i went s15 because i wanted a real sports car. i was sick of wasting my money modding the civic and hense i made up my mind. never looked back eversince.

yeah i got one contact for you if you need. its the guy who imported my ride. he sells for good price and get you a car in good condition. i got mine from them. PM me if you need.

[6-SpeedManual]

anywayz
evo shits all over fd2
seiously how can u even compare.

lol he knows what hes talking about.

[DreadAngel]

S15s a toy, a real sports car is a TVR or Porsche or a car of that description lol =P

Evo = Lancer with 4WD + Turbo and Recaros to help you forget its base model origin

Civic Sports = Thai built Civic lol...

[IZY-10]

off topic tvr make shit cars

[DreadAngel]

Shit build quality yes =P

But the rest of the car is too good =P

[INVSBL]

S15s a toy, a real sports car is a TVR or Porsche or a car of that description lol =P

Evo = Lancer with 4WD + Turbo and Recaros to help you forget its base model origin

Civic Sports = Thai built Civic lol...

lol, lets all buy a tvr, coz like they are owned by russians and will break in a one meter radius of a pot hole, and most people cant afford a real porsche.

and s15, lol a toy, yeah a toy that with little money can eat a majority of the porsche line up, and if the same money spent on a porsche was fed into an s15, well ur porsche owner would be crying. evo is pretty much similar.

but i got nothign against the thai civic though.

[DreadAngel]

At least the car will be a blast to drive and you'd go out in a fireball =D

I dunno man, those Porsches with their boxer engines are pretty good lolskies...

[INVSBL]

they are amazing, but not the be all and end all of motoring?
just saying for similar and usually less money, the toy of an s15, or the budget of a lancer can and usually do rip apart porsches

[DreadAngel]

Yeah they are, apparently because they don't agree with something, its like a word of bible (Nissan vs Porsche on the Ring LOL)

Probably do rip them but they're still a Nissan or Mitsubishi *runs like all hell*

Since I said "and car of that description" how much more would it take to beat a Ferrari, Lambo, Pagani, Ascari, Apollo, etc

Lol =P

[INVSBL]

lol dw, i get wat ur saying, yes owning a mistu, nissian or honda with money poured in by the bucket load is still a mistu, nissian or honda.

and im guessing same amount is needed to finish thoughs ones aswell (part from 430 scud, nothing can beat that :p)

as much as i love euro supercars, if u dont care for badges (which i dont), the same performance can be had for less coin.

anyways, back onto this wierd topic, GET A TYPE R SEDAN FROM JAPAN :p

[DreadAngel]

Lol, glad you get what I'm sayin' lolskies...

FD2R... You know most Ozhonda fanboys and fangirls are willing to be raped by Ben and Q to have the keys to a FD2R LOL =P

[INVSBL]

lol, atm isnt that the process t get one into australia :p

those two are standing at the loading docks, and the attack once u sign your name two ownership :p

[NightKids]

Let me just settle everything & say get a Supra!

[6-SpeedManual]

Denny. just save the money. wack on a twin turbo in your civic and stick some evo badges. problem solved. :thumbsup:

[denot]

HOHOOH probs i do that mingy... anyway decided not to swap now and save money for EVO VIII and above later (and give the civic for my wife :p)

[farkmedead]

get a IX =D

I just love the look of the 9, it looks...complete.

[denot]

ya... but I still cant tell the diff between VIII n IX if I see one on passed me on the street :p

[xtercii]

Let me just settle everything & say get a Supra!

haha why? it looked like the supra was getting raped and doing loser fly-bys all day long...

[rk 86 wa]

FD2R... You know most Ozhonda fanboys and fangirls are willing to be raped by Ben and Q to have the keys to a FD2R LOL =P

as long as they make it quick....

LOL

[farkmedead]

ya... but I still cant tell the diff between VIII n IX if I see one on passed me on the street :p

the IX has the nicer front end imo, without the middle triangle plastic bit that the VIII has.
