Horn bit of gear, but a 70k lancer will always make me giggle.

Get in a 9 with 250awkw and you'll be giggling alright

Considering it takes less than 5k to get to that point, pretty tasty :P

For 70k, they are a LOT of car if you can see past the plastic dash.

The X might not be that good though. See how it goes

I was hot for it. then it got delayed and delayed some more, then the price

went up (despite the aussie dollar strength) and now paying so much more

than they charged for the 9 to get an X seems silly. Especially when you can

pickup an evo 9 from a kid who has lost his license for less than 40k with

nothing on the odo and probably coilovers and a boost controller.

Or you can get an 8MR, which is faster out of the box, for 30k imported..

car magazine put the evo x against the new sti, and the sti won .. but then

it said the shame is they would both have lost against an evo 9, they have

both become too soft and lost their focus.

I will admit it does look alot tougher than i remember.

And i work for subaru....but if you put the Evo X (or in fact probably any evo) next to the new WRX/STI and it would scare the oil out of it.

oh and yeah definitely looks evil in black :whistling:

Yeah they are hard to beat bang for buck off the new car showroom floor.

Not to mention the added value of a free cardigan on puchase :)

I wish they'd re-bodied it so it's a bit more removed from the nana mobile, but that'd probably push it to a 90k car.

Then you have the advantage of a sleeper-stealth type style. I'm torn with evo's always have been.

A mate had an mhe 7 or was it a 6, one of the best drivers cars I've steered with out a doubt.

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
