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

    • Does anyone know when your oil drops viscosity, if it is an issue? I imagine with tuned cars they will be overfueling more compared to a stock standard car and will thin out over time. 
    • anyone ever used these ? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/186214260439?_skw=socket+set&itmmeta=01JEG3TKV388ZXGP8N7CHNCQ45&hash=item2b5b3c1ed7:g:mhAAAOSwwB9lf~Xm&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkJwJeiNMm%2FsStacz%2BhjzBowaFnbNCowwe08vVGrW0FbesCs%2Flw%2FQYjDQLjKsuKvgysWT9%2F4b9AZUX3qLP5RDfFhtD8DxufvqBbyZrQAQXuG3h8%2BxxqhWhH8fIfU84eA9W7VIpxDNw9MWj9BdfkkMasYhcqOjTrcKwLyD3ftzZbaZb2Us7%2FFR1Q2kcT68ZYRU77%2F%2BtRr1qBS27BXxh%2FjWBQxhWyUcLlEFIb%2BITZPIKwxQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABlBMUOy96oP0ZA   I believe the idea being, the rods push back around the shape of whatever nut you put in there. Sounds pretty handy to just need to carry 1x socket in the car for 'most sizes'  but, theory vs reality, anyone tried them?
    • I'm not that familiar with R33 tanks. Plastic? Up behind the rear seat between the towers? Or under the boot floor like a normal car? It's the battery that's up between the towers isn't it? So, plastic tanks. Well, um. The obvious reco is plastic welding, which you'd only look at asking someone who's really good at to contemplate trying. The fuel contamination and grot is probably going to make it quite difficult though. Whether plastic or steel - the end of the crack will want to be drilled before any welding or sealing is done. Otherwise it will just continue to wander along until something bad happens. Steel tank? The obvious answer is drain, wash, purge with inert gas and drill the crack end and weld/braze/silver solder/whatever the guys who do that to fuel tanks recommend. I had a crack/hole/leak in the bottom of a Commodore tank (oe was it my ALFA? - can't remember) that I slammed some gorilla snot onto and it never leaked again. It worked surprisingly well. Or, it's time to fab a new tank.
