greedy car companies want to operate on a profit. how dare they.

and the government wants to encourage local sales and bail out aus made cars owned by billion dollar international companies. and then get their fingers wet getting 33% tax on vehicles valued over $60-something.

good one straya

Nick, Hamish + Aaron: Thoughts on owning an Evo as a daily / weekend warrior?

Thinking about going and test driving a couple of Evo 8s.

[PENGUYEN]

Winton first time today. Off the top of my head.

Session 1: 2:03 - didnt know what I was doing

Session 2: 2:00.7 - slowly learning

Session 3: 2:00.9 - did same as last session. Didnt know what to do to go faster

Session 4: 1:57 - newbish friend helping me out with a few things I was doing wrong

Session 5: 1:55.5 - more experienced friend showing me lines for sweeper and s turn

Session 6: 1:53 - missus as passenger. Improving on what my friend pointed out with lines and braking

Not bad for sub 50 odd kw on re002 for first time. It has more in it as is. But no more track time. Will be back next time to improve! As is I think I can get 1:51-1:52 comfortably

Mate with same set up but with k24 e85 160fwkw was dipping into 1:42. Wtb mo powarh

Evo 8 would be a nice daily, just remember if you go a jdm 8 check for rust underneath

[Borci88]

Well it's either that or start considering 7s and get a nice dirt bike or something for some weekend fun. Heard them rodz aint so great though. How much power was yours pushing out Nick?

I was in that boat for my time at wonton too. you're not far off my 1:50 so fair effort

[KURAUN]

235awkw and don't want to push too much more, some people have but depends for how long

It's the torque that kills them and because they get on the power so quick they tend to die if they push big power on stock rods

its fine, not the best on fuel similar economy to a skyline, just be mindful of the less than huge tank for daily duties if you do a fair number of KM/week.

as for the power thing, mines making 250 on 98 seems to be going fine so far.

If you're planning on modding it heaps go 8. I prefer 7 though, cheaper, I like the kit, and wasn't planning on modding it much at all.

Definitely recommend as a daily (if u don't mind regular fuel trips because if tank size) or weekender.

But after driving Scotty's Stagea last night, I seriously miss my old one.... Much more than the evo

[kaitoukid]
