i must say that the evos got alittle of everything, good for rallying, drag and circuit.

have u realized that the evo have evolved from when it first started ? they at this time have gone to more of a luxury status than it's race bred design as we have seen that the market is looking for both power and luxury and overall safety , back in the days people were more into power and the raw feel of the car .

but let me compare toyota to mitsu , if i have a corolla and an evo and the timing belt "burst" which one go have the most damage? which one will be cheaper (especially at this time we going through) to repair? or should i say Faster to repair? so which more reliable car would u choose ?? remember pickney have fu eat , bill have to pay , car haffa service, when u want a car u want one that Will last not one 2 bruck ur pocket

Ya, if the belt bursts, the valves will receed into the head, so no worries about bending them

I had that problem with the opel astra that I had. The timing belt gave away and warped my valves. It gave me hell to take them out! Not a good experience at all.......but hey everyday you learn somethin new...... like not to mess with aluminium heads. I jacked up one boss while trying to disassemble the head. The bolt broke off in the head, an me in dont know self at the time, tried to drill it out. Wat a mess boss!!! I have some pics that i'll post up some time.

well Toyota is one of the easiest cars to work on, and i did a survey of prices to maintain a vehicle and the cheapest worked out to be a Toyota, and they are also the number 1 in 4x4 today. Toyota got a little of everything, speed, looks and very strong indeed. if my glanza break down today i can just run down the road or go a junk yard and up running again in less than no time, i am a poor man so Toyota works out good for me
