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.

      You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap

      Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy

      Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.

      Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷

      I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.
