Hi everyone, for the last week I have been looking for a new car and I’ve been looking at the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7 and the V35 Skyline and cannot decide what to go for? I still haven’t put my golf up for sale but going to advertise is this week so I can upgrade it.

The lancer has been a dream for quite some time now but my only concern is the fuel consumption. From what I have read and heard its premium unleaded and it does 450km on a tank (city driving). I actually thought for a 2.0 litre it would be better on fuel when cruising.

My mate recently brought a 350z for 37k and I took it for a drive, I loved the handling and the power of the car. I went to Kamikaze Motors and took the V35 skyline coupe for a drive and loved it too, but I wanted to ask you guys a few questions which I forgot to ask the dealer.

1. Can the Bose system radio am/fm work in Australian frequencies & can I get the dvd player, NAV to work as well? If so is there anyone in Melbourne who does such a convert?

2. What do you guys get in km on a tank?

3. Which insurance company covers this car?

4. Would you buy an Evo7 or a V35 and why?

Cheers guys

Erhan

    • 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.
    • I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears. 
    • Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P
