Just buy the missus one that's what I did ok well it is a ralliart not an EVO but hey it is still fun to drive

My missus wants an Evo X (even though she knows she'll never afford it), but would settle for an SST boxed Ralliart. Just got to train her NOT to put a cannon on it like her VRX lol

We all know what they sound like.....

We got the twin clutch SST model. It is a great gear box and is lightening fats with the gear changes....

We have had some trouble with it though

After 5 visits back to the dealership they are changing the entire gearbox and mechatronics unit...... $16800

I am just happy it is under warranty :)

Was that the shopping car Martin?

I think she might be tempted to come to the dark side. Said this morning that she wants a Stagea haha

[Luke_ENR34]

that also means she wants kids

That was indeed the shopping car.

Still make mincemeat of any Stagea though, and you would kind of hope so

Still make mincemeat of any Stagea though,

would embarrass a few GTR's too..

A guy dies when his Nissan 180sx hits a stobie and catches fire at port adelaide last night

and of course, the news presenter has to drop the line "witnesses said they heard a car doing burnouts in the area"

f**k i hate the media

[gilly-R33]

apparantly police were there pretty much as soon as it happened, so they would of known if there was a car hooning around or not

Kinda suss location tho - where people are known for letting off some steam away from the general public (commendable..) It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it were true - and if its true, why not report it? Its the cases where they blatantly make shit up that really gets my goat...

Still, assuming the report is true, its a shame there was a death over something as trivial as a burnout.... people may say 'fatalities can happen in controlled conditions too' - but this just reinforces the fact that in spite of putting safety first, people still die. Put safety last, the odds of injury are greatly increased....

edit* oh moorehouse road.... no reason to be there at night unless up to no good. but still.... media exaggeration of the truth prevails.

yeah that general area is bad for it. I recently went for a drive out to outer harbour, took a scenic detour on the way back.... well this detour is the fresh road that links up to the submarine corp - no buildings, covered in burnouts - a street light already flattened by someone who lost control and a memorial further down to some girl who died..

cant see how either of those things could happen there.... but obviously it does.

oh and pelican point is nothing like i remember it. used to be completely empty except for the fishermen, trailbike riders, and the smouldering wrecks of dumped stolen cars. but that was 15 years ago...

I work up in that area. Mersey road/veich road/victoria road all have rubber all over the place. ASC folks leave in the arvo and spend it doing amateur drift around the roundabouts in clapped out commodores and statesmans. Matter of fact there was a crash last friday with 2 commodores on veich road as they were leaving, one was a write off. Always seeing bogans doing stupid shit up there. Idiots dont realize that its all being captured on camera...

Edit - the memorial isnt actually for a car fatality - a woman was murdered in the mangroves a couple of months ago

Two of my fave cars head to head
