RNGTR Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) Saff Cossie - Yeah I'd say it had some mods when it was in Japan Alan..... got the Carbony exhaust thingy, an ARC heat shield & a Cusco rear Strut Brace.... susp isnt stock ethier, cant be as it sits really low...... but on the hoist today the Springs etc are plain black Mitsubishi ones!?! Its also got some sort of aftermarket clutch as its a fair PIA ! Nah I love it...... Matt - Thanks man, I cant stop driving it... even though I really shouldnt be on the permit! We need to to do a photoshoot! Archie01 - RNEVO? I dunno dude, i'll stick with the old one For now!...... Hows your beast going? Snowy - Gunmetal Wheels FTW!!!!! I wanted a Yellow Evo at first, but White swayed me, they look awesome with nicely offset rims & tasteful carbon bits. I'll take some more pix over the weekend with the HKS exhaust on it, and the tint is pretty awful too, so ive got to (carefully) peel it off & get it all redone...as well as give it a good detail!

miniwog Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 My sig says it all... while no evo can be called attractive being based on a lancer of all things, there are many things that look worse than a turd... like your car!

eMsta Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Thanks for the replies everyone. Tuesday night must of been Evo night! Three Fangers getting Evo's..... I would of loved a new IX, but its more than I could afford, the VII will do nicely. I had a nice surprise when I picked it up, a set of Factory ( i assume ) HID's on the seat! Heres a crappy pic(s) of it outside my workshop I took this morning..... didnt do too much work, fitted my HKS HiPower exhaust instead! Rod very very nice - according to top gear the 400bhp evo that they tested kept up with the murcielago stock on the outside (cept for wheels and exhaust), modify on the inside i say - bit like me see (innocent enough on the outside, but the most evil person on the inside ) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/145326-team-evo-gains-another-member/page/3/#findComment-2718913 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very fast but as demonstrated at the end of the feature, massively laggy.

Jamezilla Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Jackie Chan agrees BTW - mine all fixed. Was 4th gear slider - it warped due to heat. Seems the part was just a Friday arvo job and likely to have been at the limit of manufacturing tolerances. No driver error (GAGF sLowth), no GB oil problems (Castrol Syntrax), and no damage to other components. Still - an expensive exercise non the less. Fingers crossed it stays fixed so I can beat Snowy and Chris at DECA in Feb Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/145326-team-evo-gains-another-member/page/3/#findComment-2719419 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Links Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hmmm... more Evo's.. after test driving the new Evo9 with the sports pack, was quite impressed.. almost enough to buy it till they offered me f&*k all for my R33 (which was to be expected).. Def impressive round the corners, pretty stiff, was nice driving something new rather than old... Great buy on the VII..

Very fast but as demonstrated at the end of the feature, massively laggy. saff - is your evo laggy as well? or is that just for the FQ models? I thought the newer turbo models are less laggy in general.

matlowth Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 (edited) Emsta, All the FQ models (excluding the FQ400) used the factory turbo. As such - the only one which suffered terrible lag was the 400. Cheers, matt saff - is your evo laggy as well? or is that just for the FQ models? I thought the newer turbo models are less laggy in general.
