I have just bought an evo 9 and currently try to sell the teg
I have owned it three weeks now and have spent over 2k on it
Bought it with a slipping clutch as its been modded to 420 hp so that cost me £775 in parts
Done all the fluids at the same time, engine, gearbox and both diffs and spark plugs which cost me around £200
Checked the front brakes whilst it was on the ramp and the discs and pads where pretty much worn out, decent 2 piece discs where £650 pads where £200 braided lines and new fluid came to about £200
Also need to refurbish the ayc pump of which the going rate seems to be about £500 for a drive in drive out service
Luckily i can do all the work myself otherwise i would have been looking for another £1000+ in labour
So yeah they are very expensive to run but its an absolute machine to drive, my integra was 270hp but is nothing compared to the evo, the way it puts its power down is insane.
Fuel wise its not much worst then the teg, as long as you run it on the fuel its mapped to i get 22-25 mpg if i run it on 95 ron its more like 16-17, tax is £500 though
I did love the teg but dont think ill be going back to one, a turboed car suits my driving style alot more
