Looking to buy first evo
Hey everyone,
I currently own a nissan pulsar but will be on my full licence soon and want to buy an evo. My price range allows me to get either an evo 6 or 7, my main question is what is your opinion between the two? I prefer the 7 but have heard that the first model in each series may have a few small problems as its only the first model in the series. Would anyone highly recommend an evo 6 over a 7? And are there any major common problems with evo 7's?
Definitely looking forward to joining the evo community!

you might need to do some research on here on both models, use the search function and read away. I would recommend an evo 8 if you can afford it, but if you can't, look for both 6 and 7 and see if you can find a clean original one to start yourself out on.

Trust me I would get an 8 if I could but it's a bit out of my price range at the moment. Thanks for your help too, I'll be sure to post updates once I find a nice base to start out with

The 6 has a bit of a cult following of hardline evo fans and seems to be higher priced in Australia than the 7's. For my little knowledge of the 7's it seems they had some design flaws which were addressed in the 8's, then the 8MR addressed the 8 design flaws and then the 9 addressed the 8MR design flaws then the 10 went backwards and became big and heavy with a touch more power stock

theres an importer down at concord on the parramatta road, head down there, they usually have plenty of grey import EVOs to look at and go through just to get a good idea of the condition you can get them in, take a torch and slide under neath, when i was up in sydney this is what i did.
Hit car sales and get out there and check em out.
heres a start on info
