Just had a very exciting phone call. My sons evo 9 has passed through the new RAWS process and should be registered and on the road in 2 weeks. I have a 19 year old almost in tears when we were call earlier today. 

Seriously though, that is a sweet ride to own at 19 years old. It's a sweet ride to just drive at 19 years old. Are they all imports? I always thought Evos were sold worldwide. Also no issues with P-plating?

At 19 I was driving my mum's 121. Something like this in much more worn out.

It either made me feel like a clown or awesome when blasting Rammstein and reving out the little engine. Would probably unironically drive it again nowadays 😆

 

Yes, both the GTR and Evo are imports, the evo is a jap only variant. Either way the compliance approval is all done so it is registerable and the guy who imported it, only needs to apply for the compliance plate. My son has a lancer already and will continue to drive that to uni etc, driver training etc in the evo and it will be my wife’s toy car for 8 months.

Good to see you Liz

Too close to home...the Stagea is OK after a small issue it took a long time to sort, the Fuga is dead with some sort of hybrid system issue, the race car is in a million bits....the Titan is good except the AC can only do full hot (don't need to fix that for a few months I guess)....the Patrol is as good as it ever was with a non-turbo TD42. God knows where the super march is, it went to get a pack of smokes about 10 years ago and I haven't seen it since.

When it rains it pours!

I’m in no position to be pointing fingers! My cars are a mess. 

My solution is to keep the garage door closed! Have you tried that?

I tried that but half my crap is on the driveway. :(

That's a better location for crap, rather than stacked on top of the non functional cars in the garage like some people do!

Have you got garagecam ? Cause that's me ! ! ! 

Yes I still know its a sickness. Not even the car intervention helped !

My son and I finished making a mess in our garage as on Sunday as we finished an audio project on the EVO. We managed to squeeze 2 x 18" subs into the boot in a Perspex mount. I said no more power mods to the evo so 10KW's of audio in the boot was a trade off. 220KW@all 4 and 10KW's in the boot!

So that makes 230KW in total correct?

See the pic and a video of the light show.

On the GTR side I finally managed to restore the exhaust back to standard. I removed the y-pipe and now it suits an old man like me a bit better.

where is the best place to sell an R35 titanium y-pipe now days?

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
