Evo 6.5 Mak Version

[Grunter]

As per title what do you think, are they any good do they have any common faults / problems from std ?

How heavy are they on fuel ? Looking to go to 4dr car, so this was an option need something that is a

good base to start with as I dont have a garage or time to build up a track ready car.

Any help would be great thanks in advance

Cheers

Mate just sold one to buy a R34 GTR,

The EVO 6.5 is awesome, handelling, braking, acceleration is amazing.

Only real thing that lets them down is the below average interior, small fuel tank and harsh suspension (for a daily)

Best value performance car you can get.

Cool, any idea how many litres of fuel to 100km?

Not really mate never gave it a thought, with conservative driving i would expect around 11 -12

just bought my missus an evo 7 as a daily driver, only reason we went a 7 over the 6.5 was the suspension on the 6.5 was too solid for a daily driver, the 7 is perfect.

As for fuel i presume they'd be roughly the same, we get 10L/100kms and thats not just babying it.

bang for buck they are awesome.

Thanks for the replies keep them coming.

I've doing some more research and a mate of mine said his mate had a evo 7 with

suspension mods / exhaust / chipped ecu with the std turbo still in place and did

a 1.03 around wakefield park f@#k thats pretty good for a near std car.

Tim GTR has one.

Its gota few upgrades like a high flow panel filter, aftermarket heat sheild (have not check out the turbo yet) I think Spitfire coil packs but other then that it stock.

I only drove it in a drive way, not actualy taken it out for a drive all I can say is, the clutch had a bit of a bite and quite grippy.

Always wanted to drive an Evo as I only have a Lancer GLi as my daily to go by and my GTR.

My understanding is that the EVO 6 is the best one till 8, 9 and 10.

Do a few searches on Top Gear/5TH Gear and the evo 6/6.5 .

I remember seeing a back to back comparison of I think a 6 and a 8 or 9 . The testers felt that the 6 was marginally quicker possibly due to is smaller size and weight .

I think the TME is a marketing exercise and if you were going to throw Billies at it the factory dampers and springs don't matter . You can make an E6 handle better than factory and ride better as well .

On price I wouldnt touch a TME .

I think most people like Evo 6's because its a good combination of parts and they work . If you can look beyond the fit and finish they're hard to pass up , not everyone can because they're not really in the same class as most Skylines of the era - fit and finish wise .

These cars can be very expensive to buy for their age , they cost a fortune new and owners want their money back - particularly for the locally sold Ralli Art 6.5 . I think just shy 0f 70 G new ?
