Hi all

Well it has been a long time coming but I finally have something. Purchased an Evo 7 and collected it today so have only just got in from being out in it.

I am very happy with it and the refined performance is awesome.

Few people to thank though. The dealership I got it from were really good and I am recommending them to anyone considering purchasing an import. They are Southern Special Vehicles located on the corner of Huntingdale Rd and Princes Hwy in South Oakleigh. Family run business who have a definate focus on customer satisfaction. Guy I dealt largely was Mark. He knows of SAU and has some rex mates so if you do read this mate, thank you :mad:

Ferni, thanks for the GTR advice a few weeks back, much appreciated.

Nigel at Racingline, thanks for showing me ALSGTR and taking the time to advise on this, looking forward to bringing it to you eventually for some bits

Snowy for the advice and suggestions on Evos

James who actually test drove this one and put the idea of a blue 7 in my head and suggest I go and have a look (was chasing a white 6 for a long time).

_800STED or however Matt spells his username! Excellent insurance deal from Shannons and put time in researching cars for me, thanks mate :P

I am sure there are others so thanks also. :dry:

Looking forward to doing some track work and DECA in it.

Few pics:

Damn thats nice Alan. Thats the way i'm heading after the WRX....bring on the Yellow 7!!! (i'm about 6-8 months from getting one)

Can you pm the insurance details?? ie. any probs wth Shannons, price and the like :ermm:

Was there any more 7's at that place?

Saw this car in the flesh i think (unless SSV just imported it in for you) - sounded awesome - thought it was marks car, but he said it was part of the stock at SSV. Sounded bloody orgasmic! Congrats on the purchase!! :ermm:

LOL! Thanks for all the feedback guys.

ABuSD - Its an import in via Sydney as SSV dont yet have the compliance. They have a very nice yellow one also which I believe will be there compliance car to be tested. I also dont know a great deal about these cars and look forward to learning more about them.

Dezz - No worries but I will have to learn to drive it first before I scare any passengers if my g/f's reaction was anything to go by! It will now be only my driving keeping me in last place!lol

AGED - Yellow one was there and is very very nice. I am just not a yellow personality I dont think however having a yellow rex, it could be right up your street. BTW - Were you driving along Princes Hwy yesterday around 1.30pm up near the Blackburn Rd turn?

emsta2003 - Yes same car and it was Marks. He was so impressed they are putting the yellow one through for their own compliance certification. BTW - Love the avatar! Was in the UK when that happened and watched the news, bit freaky at the time but funny looking back!

Leewah - No chance of jumping ship! In fact there will be an SAU url going on it today and some other stickers if I can get them from Bec.

Thanks for all the comments guys, am off to Sandown (watching only this time) :ermm:

lol shut up dezz, not everyone quotes fast n furious like u :P

heheh, ive seen ur liberty at deca, will look fwd to seeing ur evo up against the gtr's there too.

Nice looken unit ... goodluck with the car and future modifications, which im sure are already planned :D

Al Car looks great mate.. Cant wait to see it in the flesh and see how it sounds... Never been in an Evo so will be good to see how it goes..

Well done on the Buy you have been looking for ages great to see you have finally got something you wanted :P

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
