you dont have to go the MR

the main differences are

price

mr badging

titanium exhaust wheel

ecu tune

6 speed

probably other carbon shit

depending on price diff between MR and non MR

i found non MR 6 speeds in evo 8 as well

And you forgot the main part. It's lighter due to an aluminum roof.

I was at Geebung early in the night last night. Great place to meet barely legal loose moralled girls.

Interesting, I was around from 5 til about 9:30. And yeah, considering what else is available on a Sunday during the day, there's not much else I'd rather spend my Sunday at. Very early work on Monday friendly "night out" :)

Have you found one yet? Or just looking? Much better choice than FPV i reckon

there is a couple im going to check out.

i thought all evo 8's were 6 speed? the other differences are pointless. the only thing i dont like is everyone says there turning circle is really shit.

But evo is slower than your 34 GTR :P

it wont take much to make it quicker than a gtr. but im sure ill be back in a gtr again one day.

I wouldn't worry about that, I mean how often do you need to do a proper u-turn anyway? If you're really in a hurry, rip the handbrake ;)

Evo 8MR. f**k the normal 8!!

price is the same as a 9 for the 8mr

if you can afford it go the 8mr

all 8s are 6speeds

MR;s have alloy roof

bunch of extra carbon parts, like vortex generator, whole rear spoiler in carbon etc

have factory fitted bilstein struts which are awesome for stock struts, cars that arnt fitted with them use them as a cheap upgrade

ill upgrade the suspension anyway so ill probably wont go for the mr

Did the MR get all the fancy pants timing stuff?

    • As I implied in my post, I have NO idea what the were. But in case I didn't make it clear, the way they performed was brilliant; whatever the brand was. I think it was the compound that made the difference. And if they were Bendix, then sign me up, I want another set. I did drive down mount Ousley (just outside of the Gong) a few times, and they showed no untowards performance.   Its not the low dust that I am looking for NOW. At the time I needed low dust, but now I have no issues with dust but want the initial/early bite of the pads that were used. Yeah, the early cold squeal may of been due to a missing shim or such.  And to repeat, its not the low dust I am seeking, its the initial bite of the pads and increase in bite as  the warmed up during each breaking. As soon as I let off, I don't remember the breaks being extra sticky if I used them again soon after. But I also did not test that theory.   Thanks for the recommendation, But I would prefer to choose something specifically with the behaviour I described.   I assume that they didn't use the default compound off the shelf, as we discussed the dust issue at length. And the early squeal when cold, I have seen the sound is more of an issue with some pad compounds. Mostly ceramic, which also are said to produce less dust.
    • Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.
    • He'll be looking down and swearing about "the damn apprentice" for trying to convince Duncan to use percussive maintenance... 😛  
    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
