Hey guys looking to sell my current car and having a few hard decisions. It's between an Evo 8 MR FQ400 and a Evo 9 MR FQ360 by HKS.. Any owners on here that can give me some advice and help me make my decision.

Thanks
Alex

360 every time, if you want your 360 to have 400bhp it's very easy to do and doesn't cost a fortune to do, it will also drive far better than the FQ400!

Thanks for your input mate... Still undecided on what colour if I go for the 360. Ruri blue or the gunmetal grey!

I think that now you have to go with the best one you can afford over your perfect colour, I would go with grey EVERY time if looking at 2 cars with identical spec / miles / price.

I would avoid the 8 FQ400 completely and don`t get too hung up on the HKS 360, if you found a perfect non HKS 360 don`t rule it out (nice as they are)

Or here http://jksc.co.uk/ he was the first to import them with the EVO 6 and even prepared the cars for Mitsi UK when they didn`t have a clue about them!

Any model of evo can be pushing 400 with £1000 a a decent tuner - dont pay £5k too much for a badge.

The MR models are holding good money and offer better bang for your buck

Personally I'd go for the fq400.

Purely personal reasons of the fact I love bonkers oem cars and very exclusive ones. See FQ evos every other day and don't really turn my head but only ever seen one fq400.
Like the experienced evo posters above have posted the lower end ones will no doubt be very drive able and just as quick with a little fettling if not quicker in 90% of the situations.

But the fq400 is quite a bonkers OEM car which I love.
