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 ! :P Nah I love it...... :D

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!

Cheers for all the replys :)

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! :laugh:

Marry me Dave :D

gah, everyone's got an evo but me

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! :)

very very nice - according to top gear the 400bhp evo that they tested kept up with the murcielago :D

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 :laugh: )

That was the FQ400 (if 400bhp) but thought it was the FQ360 when I saw it. Very fast but as demonstrated at the end of the feature, massively laggy. :)

OHHH... Thanks very muchly, I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Your probably not old enough anyway to appreciate it! :laugh:

StarionTurbo would at least agree with me. :woot: (I hope;-)

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 :ninja:

I noticed you didn't mention me in that list @ Deca? :laugh:

Glad to hear it was nothing hugely serious though!

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..

Oh come on.

Its like parents of an god ugly child. :ninja:

They know its ugly, everyone sure are hell knows its ugly...

But by saying it over and over, the parents think that one day the ugly child might actually get a half decent head.

And from what ive seen of my brother, believe me, once ugly, always ugly

Is that how you justify keeping that Pintara of yours :kiss:

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.

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

    • I don't know how this is even possible. I removed the strut to do some work (it came out fine, and keeping in mind that I didn't put things back in the same order, but did this on purpose because I was supposed to remove the strut originally instead I tried to remove other shit first which made things a head ache) but now the problem is that it won't go back in. The alignment between where the bolt hole for the strut is and the j arm where the strut slides onto is way off, about a 10cm difference or more. In order to make it fit I'd somehow need to push it up. I tried to compress it with a spring compressor and install it but the compressor was getting in the way and there was no working room. On the photo you can see the difference between the shock and the thread that it's supposed to go on. The only things I removed in total were - the top bolts for the j arm but I didn't remove the actual j arm - the 3 bolts that hold the plate for the brake lines - the sway bar link (this bolted on back fine) - the strut/shock absorber
    • LOL that sounds pretty conclusive! Yeah if it doesn't work on a tight nut, it doesn't work.
    • Been a while since I've heard anyone mention Kumho tyres. It's like they've fallen off the radar in terms of street/track tyres. I still want to get below 1m50s on the RS-4 tyres at SMSP, just because lol. Even doing a 1m52s lap, going into T1 was sketchy af.
    • I've run most of the semis which are available and sadly you can pretty much rank them by price.  Fast and spendy = Z221, A050, DZ03G Ok and mid range price = R888, V70A, A052 I don't really rate the AR-1 because it's not cheap enough for the performance level offered. Yes, they're much cheaper than A050 but V70A can be had just as cheap and is a much faster and more predictable tyre.
    • There's no current law that stipulates that you cannot eat dessert with a soup spoon, although, it is socially unacceptable of course, shame on you But, there are emissions laws, which is sort of on topic to the OP's questions Things like emissions are, if anything, going to get stricter in the future for road registered cars I believe, 'Merica has yearly emisions testing in some states, the UK has it's yearly MOT testing as well which includes emissions Building, and purchasing modified vehicles may become alot more problematic if you want to keep them registered, how, if, and when each state handles this is anyone's guess  More food for thought really
