Have you considered a Ford XR5? The 2.5l 5pot is a volvo motor (C30) capable of some high HP with tweaking and add ons. Have you seen the Top Gear episode where they put the current Rex & Ford RS up against the prototype Volvo C30T5R.....must watch.

Hey Roy,

So I take it that your V35 coupe will be sold after mechanical inspection go ok? I can tell you that you will miss it. :P

For me, Evo are cars that have better use on the track because they are built mainly for that purpose. Being a four door sedan might have advantage over a coupe. But I don't think you can compare an Evo with V35 coupe.

I say, go for an Evo if you want to have a car that you can take it to the track anytime you want, maybe abit more practical than V35 coupe but don't mind about the interior quality.

Stay with V35 coupe (or even upgrade to V36 coupe) if you enjoy a quality cruise factor and don't mind having a coupe in your family.

Good luck either way. Remember, it's you that have to drive and live with it. :)

i do miss it.... in fact the buyer dropped me off back at the office and when I saw him drive away with the car, kinda wished i had kept it :)

new car is a blast to drive but... it is stock standard at the moment, but it's the best way to start the road to modifications ( to steal the words of smirnoff ...purity of a blank canvas)

Well, there's no looking back now. At least you had fun with us with our V35's. :)

What car did you get by the way?

Settled on an evo x , after contemplating all the comments and feedback just went with my first choice and honestly i think its the best choice. Good balance between power, handling, looks and practicality

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.

      Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
