Was looking at some car web sites on the weekend and saw the new Evo X. Though this is a Skyline forum I thought with all Evo fan boys here that someone might have posted a thread. In case you haven't seen it yet I've posted some pics below. I don't know if it's just me but I'm seeing a lot of R34 GTR design elements here. Same type of nose and bonnet and pumped out square rear guards. What do you guys think? I'm thinking I could drive one of these if it looks hot in the flesh, I don't think pictures do it justice much like the R34's.

Everytime I see these topics come up I look at the pics and say yuk!

But they always seem to grow on me especially the VE HSV range.

I don't like the look of it at all really, the headlights and rims are only things i would say I like.

But I'm sure when i see one on the roads I'll be following it to check it out cause it's so hot.

eh i like it but then i dont. looks a little tougher than previous models, and draws away from the lancer(which is good. other models just looked like a lancer, which is why i couldnt bring myself to buy one), lights are cool.

just a little boxy, and there something about the front bar that isnt quiet right IMO.

the rear looks a little alfa romeo ish...

and is it bigger than previous models? like a legnum or whatever they are...

i don't think people buy evo's to have a burgundy car either, imo it will look much better in a traditionally more aggressive colour, black/white/red/etc etc

I don't like the look of it either

R35 style front, RX8 style rear!!! in 4-door

yuck

they should just make a 2-door EVO and style it differently, bet it'll still sound like a sewing machine or tractor like most mitsi's

I dunno Ni. The most recent "spy shots" from the Ring I reckon the STi actually looks better. The EVO is starting to look very plastic, high and a bit dull now that it is moving from the prototype stylings and into the production stylings. Where as I reckon the Rex is looking quite WRC (even it if is a Xsara copy)

I like......But 80K...

Maybe with the dollar getting to 88 cents US.....we might get it for the price of the IX...65K..if i recall.

KEEP YOUR SKYLINES........LOL.......TURBO FUN AT A 1/5 of the price....

GTR32's will increase in value when this comes out. :D

Anyway..love to see it in real life..looked much narrower in the pics of old..

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?  
    • I got the Repco video recommended on YouTube.
