    Evos - whats the difference

    i know audi forum but this because audi related reason, i was trying to tell a friend about a type 81 audi and my idea of 'dubing' one and how the styling was way different to that a type 89 which i have
    then he decided who was i to tell him about way cars look because i cant see the difference in a evo 4,5 and 6 or the differences between 7,8 and 9's

    so can anyone tell me what are these massive differences, all i can see is the differences in the bumpers which since i dont have one dont care to remember...

      These arguments are the same nonsensical ones that my 7yr old kid has with his 'friends' who occassionally take the piss out of him for not having a PS3 console... I mean how can you possibly be cool if you only have a PS2. Kids ehh... They get sucked into the whole marketing hype of the highest number being the best all of the time - and so often do their parents in keep up with the Jones' style.

      Oh enough social commentary already - only just had mee breakfast !

        must admit I can tell the difference bwteen the 4s, 5s and 6s and the Tommi Mäkinen specials (even from a distance ) but the 7s 8s and 9s all blend into one boring sports saloon...

          The 3s the best... the most raw. we never got em over here, only the 8,9 and 10

          but I know a few guys who race 3s in rally around here.
          Plus, I always liked the way they looked. not as boy racer as the later ones.



          The CE9A chassis is definitely the best (lanevo2 and lanevo3)
          none of that wacky technology getting in the way... just real diffs, real gearboxes... no weird yaw control or fancy traction control.

                great engines.

                if i was in the market for a fast 4x4 with tuning potential it would be an evo. so easy to tune to high hp.

                the early evos have more character likem the early subarus. problem with 2's and 3'2 is they look like a proton thats crashed into ripspeed

                      They are proton shells.

                            yeah, the Proton Wira was based on the 1992 Mitsubishi Lancer, but had Colt headlights, Galant tail lights and Mirage bumpers.

                            I'll stand by the Evo 3 though

                            the 1 and 2 are WAY more sedate, but low on power

                            Lan Evo2


                            Lan Evo1

                            When I was younger, i liked the ones with the enormous fog lamps.

                            Look at the 4 with all the wings and spiky bits...

                            the 5 brought it WAY back down to earth though:

                            I always thought the 6 looked exactly like the 5, so I won't bother

                            But look at the old STIs too

                            Version 2 (I think)

                              exactly , with the early vertical lights and sitting down low tiny bit camber, set decent 8j's with a 205 on for the slightly stretch look, and then full red lamps at the back, im getting carried away now

                              any back to evos, it really is just the bumpers and bonnet that visually changed between the last 3 generations of body shells that spaned from the first evo to the evo 9, right?
                              bit like difference in a aby and 3b is the wheels, head lights and indicators, visually that is
