will be bringing the evo out for its first cruise for this one!

Nice time Andrew, very impressive! You still running the stock bottom end?

got one lined up!

u can definitely put me down!

for sure, i head to whyalla a fair bit with work so the drive doesn't seem as long nowadays, would be different in the skyline though. The one down the south east would only take us 3 hours to get to, checked it out last week when i went to Mt. Gambier!

not too bad at all Andrew, should be good for a low 11 high 10? Really wana take the 32 down the 1/4 before i get rid of it!

bit of an update. put the battery on charge last night just to make sure thats not the problem, put that back in once it was reading 14.5v on the charger while being charged. I then tried cranking it again and still got nothing, i tried this a couple of times and ended up blowing/melting the ignition fuse again that went originally, the alarm guy had replaced that 40amp fuse with a 50 amp fuse and it still went, this now to me is pointining more and more to the starter circuit relay and something there shorting?!?!?, keeping in mind that I am able to roll start the car though.

Before i start this is an evo 7 we are talking about. I searched under 'starter motor' but had no luck finding what i was after. Anyway to cut a long story short i had an alarm/immobiliser fitted, while my missus was driving it home alone she stopped at the servo and when she went to start the car again she basically got nothing (just the slight cranking sound) with a little bit of smoke coming from under the dash. It appers as though something has shorted which blew the ignition fuse as when i got there and tried to start the car we weren't even getting the cranking, dash lights etc. Now naturally I was peaking as it would appear the alarm install has caused this but after finally getting the alarm guy out he disconnected the alarm entirely, we were now getting dash lights etc but the car still wouldn't start. It now appeared as though it was the starter motor!?!?! So to hopefully prove this we jump started the car which worked proving it was the starter motor but being the sceptic i am i was still thinking to myself this is too much of a coincidence? Basically i'm just after confirmation from you guys that it is the starter motor and that the faulty alarm install was just a coincidence or is there something else that could've happened to be giving me this grief? Cheers in advance!

wish i knew this b4 chef!

i had my alarm fitted at a.p. on the recommendation of everyone here and had/am having a bad experience, car is still off the road more than a week later! won't go into it on the forum but if someone wants a pm i'll share.

Paul said tonight you were looking or had looked at a leggie. how's the finger?

the missus evo 7 gets 380-400kms to the tank, thats with spirited driving too!

can u pm me the meet spot details plz!

sold!

denso injectors sold!

sold, pending payment!

if i dont head out to mallalla i'll bring the evo out if it isn't strictly nissan's!

not having a go mate. If its still there i would love to c pics. If its brand new it can't be an evo 9 wagon as they've ceased production and the evo 10 doesn't come out in a wagon. I guess someone could've turbo'd the new lancer hatch??? mmmmmmmmmmm.............

bumping to the top!

bumping it up!

needs to go

wouldn't be an evo wagon, they're rare as hens teeth, certainly wouldn't be one in a mitsi dealership. Come to think of it i don't think there's one in S.A

Darren, i really like the evo wagon and legnum's but if its space you're worried about you really can't go past the stag even though for me it was third on the list but you're bigger than me. You'll have to come to soccer soon and i'll bring the evo.

just bought my missus an evo 7 as a daily driver, only reason we went a 7 over the 6.5 was the suspension on the 6.5 was too solid for a daily driver, the 7 is perfect. As for fuel i presume they'd be roughly the same, we get 10L/100kms and thats not just babying it. bang for buck they are awesome.

no probs, when you're ready let me know and we'll go from there if i still have it. cheers!
