Esoteric Posted 27, July 2011 Report Share Posted 27, July 2011 Hi all, I currently have an Aussie delivered Evo6 that's modded nicely but just bought a house a little way out of the city (after living 1km from the office for years). Given that in its current tune the Evo gets about 200-250km a tank and has track spec suspension which feels like being paddled (I imagine).. am looking to offload my baby and pick up something more commute friendly. All came about when I saw a gold/yellow R26 drive by a few weeks back and really stood out so am after one of them.. none for sale in Perth so hopefully one pops up soon. Will be in Melb next week so going to check one out over there and maybe ship it back. Hopefully will be posting about my new car soon Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzSport Posted 27, July 2011 Report Share Posted 27, July 2011 Hi mate, welcome to the forums. Why not get an R26 from the East and bring it over? There are a few available atm and its easy getting a car sent from the East. I just sold my black one to Hamish on the forums here, miss it greatly as they are a GREAT car. Best of luck in the search and the sale of the Evo. Be good to get another Perth RS owner on board. Cheers, Justin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 27, July 2011 Report Share Posted 27, July 2011 Welcome! Hope you find one soon, as well as a new home for your Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esoteric Posted 27, July 2011 Author Report Share Posted 27, July 2011 Thanks guys, I wouldn't mind "having" to keep the evo if it doesn't sell to be honest.. not sure what the missus would say about that though. I actually bought the evo from melb which was painless so yep, if I find something over that way I'll bring it back to sunny Perth Will keep you updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted 27, July 2011 Report Share Posted 27, July 2011 Welcome aboard, and all the best with the hunt. 2 mighty fine vehicles indeed. Pics when you get the R26 and feel free to post some of the Evo. Cheers, WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian-Bstar Posted 6, September 2011 Report Share Posted 6, September 2011 I can vouch for Jeffie's car, it is in mint condition.
