Evo Lancers

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

Now I will always be a nissan fanatic, ever since I saw a GTR, since I drove my old silvia. but last night a guy took me for a spin in his Evo IV. GOD DAMN! I was almost ready to go out and sell my GTST and take out the load for the extra 30K

the thing just pulls with acceleration and corners hard. At wakefield we went side by side and when we both flattened it. he pulled away from me. Maybe its only my car, but I feel that it lacks alot of grunt, it doesn't pull as hard.

I have always wanted a GTR, but if the opportunity came up, I would buy an Evo.

Although I have never been for a ride in a GTR. so if someone wants to help out there, that would be great

cheers mark

the gtr has the potential to extract many more horses than an evo, however there is more to a performance car than just going in straight lines. that said, the evo is no slouch either.

fyi, the JUN built EVO5 is the record holder at Tsukaba circuit in Japan.

...and you think an Evo 4 is good! how about an Evo 6.5 or Evo 7 or Evo 8!!! your about 4 generations behind!

Mitsubishi only delivered a limited number of Evo 6.5's, no 7's and they are thinking about the 8. Its a shame because Subaru has no real competitor in that market. That said, the interior and appointments of a Subaru are much nicer than the Evo's IMHO (but the Evo's did get better) however, the Evo is so far ahead of Subaru in terms of advancement in technology & their gearboxes are practically indestructible (however Subaru seem to be getting it right from MY01 and onwards).

an evo 5 i stumbled upon in HK

a friends evo 7 in HK

the Wanderer (tuning house in the UK) built EVO7

all good things are in yellow

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I thought the HKS KANSAI Evo VII was the fastest on that circuit at the moment?

yeah I know GTR's have great potential. but i am just saying because we all love nissans we can't dismiss the other great cars out there, I fall into that trap far too often

thanx for the cool pics franks.

2004 lancer turbo 4wd

[ac1d3o3]

[b0neR]

That would be sweet

There is nothing wrong with other cars like Evos out there. But you must have noticed the harsh interior and ride quality in that car. It was built as a racing car and not a grand tourer.

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I don't know jim, I quite liked it and would swap my GTST interior for Evo interior any day. I loved the firmness of the seats. I tend to move round in mine a bit. The interior seemed to be of a good quality build.

[JimX]

I never said that the Evo had a bad build quality, just harsh. If you don't mind the hard seats and lack of sound insulation and no climate control then maybe you want an Evo Good luck to you either way, but $30k is a lot of moolah just for something that goes better on the track than a mildly modded Skyline. Imagine for a few minutes what $30k of mods on your car would do.

It really depends on what you want from a car ultimately. If you want a track weapon and have $30k to burn, you probably do want an Evo or GTR.

settle down, yeah i know you didn't say that. I quite liked the ride last night. but just from the few other cars I have been in it feels like my car lacks something. I could imagine what 30K could do easily for my car. different engine to start with, but the only problem is in the end, it will still be an R32 GTST.

I don't know, its just something different, I don't see too many R32's around, but I saw one yesterday and it had a GTS25T sticker on the boot lid. so I will assume it has an RB25 in it, didn't know the last of the R32s came with them.

I wouldn't mind a track weapon, I have done some suspension stuff and it feels tighter now, but we were hammering along to palm beach last night and I couldn't keep up around the corners, he left me for dead and no matter how hard I pushed I couldn't catch up and the gap only got wider till the straight.

I would still prefer a GTR, but I don't see myself getting either in the near future. still too much out of my grasp, supposed to save for a house but like modding my car too much.

i know how you feel ! i sat in my friend's evo 6 and fell in love with it completely.

We dragged a couple of times, started as a rolling start (hence no 4wd advantage), he still beat me by about 2-3 car lengths. They're really quick. The response from the turbo is amazing. :uh-huh:

Was driving a R33 GTST, and was done on a private road !

Im pretty sure no R32's came with RB25's stock, either this guy had a conversion, or was a lamer (or maybe im wrong?)

[Jimbo2000]

the last of the 32's there was a rb25de option.

dont know where the T came from

[franks]

no. the JUN Hyperlemon EVO V is the current record holder of Tsukaba. Mines BNR34 is not far off it.

Even with a rolling start 4WD traction is going to be an advantage, dont you spin up through 1st and 2nd?

you are also forgetting that shorter gearing also plays a part with rolling starts. you'd probably catch it up top...

[RON-15H]

there should be 2 door version

slammed on 19" damm would look hot!

hehe majt at the end of the day i assure you there are many 32 gtst out there tht would beat evo IV and i assure you with 30k he will just be staring at the 4 round eyes that are looking back at him

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

Yeah I know, but 4WD can really help alot. Would love to spend that much money but it just wouldn't be recoverable at all if you were to sell it.

oh well, will just keep this till I can afford a GTR :D

[Risto]

hehehe well um buy a gts4t heheh for bout 16k i rekcon n spend hehee 14 on the motor there u go 4wd bye bye lancer
