I'd stay away from cat d's if possible, just for resale value. They're cheap for a reason. I've bought a few cat d's and found it hard to sell on, even when it was the cheapest in the market locally.

Any evo but make sure it's got a 5 motor onwards as there a lot more reliable

Not if they don't have one of those silly twin plate clutches. Standard one's are fine.

Have you ever owned an Evo? Or are you just going by what you see on the Internet?

Anyone that tells you to stay away from a 4 due to crank walk don't listen to them! Not as bad as people make it out to be!

They still have issues that later evos don't what does me owning one have to do with it??

The fact I run a garage and work on the likes of these cars must account for fuck all eh...

Must remember name on the logbook means total knowledge of a car...

Crank moves side to side ie movement from the flywheel to timing belt pully
