I went for a test drive today at Kamikaze Motors and the V35 went great, it's a 2003 Premium with Leather seats but no brimbo breakes. In my last post i was tossing up between the lancer evo 7 and the V35 and by driving this car with all the features i think i'm going ahead with it.

Kamikaze motors is getting 6 soon so i'm going to check the out, hopefully there will be one which is a premium pack, not to fussed about the leather or brimbo breakes. Defently want the lcd screen though.

Does anyone know if theres anything important i should look out for in these imports?

cheers

keep reading :cool: most of this has been covered.

if it relates to navi or TV ask :rofl:

also I had someone ring me about a car from there - you?

No chris, it wasnt me. Didn't you get his name? I will get the navi software and ipod cable from you though. Gotta buy the car first. Should be a few weeks before i get it. Will email you. Do you know if i can get cruise control or doesnt need to be universal?

cheers

I do a cruise kit for that car.

as for nav software - there isn't any. the system in that car DOES NOT have maps for Oz.

the ones you have seen from me are garmin based.

But there is a release coming soon yeah? I ead the thread about jap to english, so i'd be interested in that. Do you know anyone in Melb who can enable dvd movies to be watched on this screen as well? Or isnt that posible yet as well?

No! the software they are tlaking about is the english translation. no maps.

DVD requires a DVD player. the unit in the dash IS A DVD ROM! it does not play dvd video.

    • 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
    • Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information
