Was going to trade mine in for a Forester XT as we're expecting in November, but the wife (!!) became teary eyed at the thought, looked at me, and said no way. She's keeping her crv, and I get to buy a baby recaro seat for when he's old enough to ride in the X.

This thread should get renamed to, 'What would you buy if you could afford something more expensive than an evo."

coming from the point where my evo is at lol tons of cars would be a downgrade persay but the bmw 135i is not ugly and gives off that a killer look by just putting on some basic exterior mods. I would not build another car whatever i got least im not claiming GTR or R8 like they cost 20k . Might buy a salvage evoX for cheap and take my time putting it back together would save alot of money

I have a 2011 x gsr and if the eng ever blew and warrenty would not cover it I would ditch the eng and order a R32 or R34 from Japan swap it in and the tranny ecu and tune still have my evo x but with inline 6 twin turbo haha.
Will never sell why spend all that for a new skyline when I can make my own.lol godzilla in a tiger outfit.

x2. There's no way that was a serious post.

As for me, I don't plan on selling either of my Evo's. When people ask "why are you dumping money into a car you can't keep (JDM Evo IV)?" I reply that I fully intend to either a) get it into the US SOMEHOW or b) not move back to America.

If I DID part with a car, it would be the IV. Once it's fixed up it should make a nice down payment on a Toyota/Subaru FT-86/BRZ. That's the only realistically affordable car I would consider for now.

If we are talking "the sky is the limit", the only other cars I want and constantly work out the finances of acquiring (always a depressing process ) are an R34 GT-R, an R35 GT-R, and a twin turbo Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4.

Even with unlimited funds I would still keep my X MR as my primary daily driver.

I imagine those that bought an evo and want a GT-R are going to wait 10yrs before they drop down around EVO prices. haha

What's not to understand? Take a first gen Mustang, dump a Skyline motor into it and in less than 48 hours and you have a winner. Same concept here.
