EVO isn't that amazing, and pale in comparrison to my R33, however as stock they freakin good and you can mod them to a reasonable level for very little money in a way that will still appear stock and not require changes if defected.

[paulr33]

yeah they're a good all rounder

i dont plan on modding it or going power crazy

the factory power output is plenty i think

said few people, occasionally.

push 230 awkw from it.. 2nd hand parts and it will owe you 1K flat

scar non?

put a deposit down on an evo 8 last night

pretty excited

which evo?

whats it got?

[TiTAN]

guess ill have to drive one sometime to see what the fuss is. factory recaros sounds nice, probably still factory heavy though.

Guy i know through work has a modified one in Tassie.... always been tempted to buy it at Tassie price, drive for a bit then sell for profit here. who says JDM styling is a bad thing

i removed my seats on the weekend, they arent light but they arent skyline seat heavy.

what hamish said, an ecu flash with more boost (can be done via factory ecu and factory solenoid or buy a 3 port solenoid that plugs in to the factory loom for $115)

dual map it with 98 and e85, they pickup a decent 30kw or so. stock tune is only ~160kw at the wheels, remap with ~24psi or slightly more on the e85 map.

[TiTAN]

so my AVC-R is saying im running 27 psi of boost (MAP sensor to the ecu says ~25.6 psi), tuner said give it some more boosts but the things already running ~80% solenoid duty to push that.

For street driving the gearing helps a lot for feeling like its fast... Don't they normally struggle on a track when it comes to a side by side down a long straight though?

[paulr33]

i dont have any good pics of it yet, havent got it, still going through mechanical check, rwc etc

its an evo 8 MR FQ 300

leather suede interior

slotted and drilled rotors

red brake pads

different manifold

hks evc 5 i think ?

apexi pen turbo timer

coilovers

hks exhaust superdragger apparently

its a UK spec so it has a few homo spec items, fog lamp in rear bar, speedo is dual mph / kp/h

the windows close and the mirrors fold in when you press the lock button 3 times on the remote

is this std or some special feature? never seen this on a factory car

[TiTAN]

its standard, mine did it to me when i was playing with the remote.

it took me a while to work out what i had done to get it to do that.

[paulr33]

some of the MR FQ stuff is a little hard to check

he assues me its a legit fq, the chassis seems to align to the FQ #'s and all the badges are there etc

confirms he has all the FQ paperwork

all in all a nice example and v happy

dont forget..... the km's are actually miles if it came from the uk......

[paulr33]

yep was aware of that

the cluster has miles for the odo and not kms and the speed is split mph/km/h

[paulr33]

indictator stick is on the right. i double checked this too haha

[Plattsy]

yep was aware of that

the cluster has miles for the odo and not kms and the speed is split mph/km/h

some have strong unaware, so thought i better say something!

[paulr33]

yeah i looked at it a few times from the pics

and then realised hang on the speedo is in miles

wait a min, the ODO is too

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

FQ 300 with full exhaust etc? Don't need to do shit really, just get it re-mapped by your trusted tuner and wind in boost if required

[xALmoN]

Lol immigration.

will have to do this soon, the new EOI system is quite a pita isn't it?

I've also got to go for IELTS, but me no spik engrish.
