Team Evo Gains Another Member

[saff_cossie]

Very nice Rod. For a stock VII, that sits very low. You also have a surround to the exhaust so possibly the previous owner has done a few bits and pieces? If it has been modified and need stock springs, let me know as I have them.

Mine retained the HID's too, they are ace.

[Bunta]

Stop making me car emo dammit

lol

[adznight]

Bloody evo's........maybe I want one too

[matlowth]

Looks the goods mate!

It's 3 for the moment, but I have a feeling there are a few more on the way!

I'm bloody jealous of your headlights though!!

Just watch 4th gear too Lowthy - it's made of glass :\

[dezz]

White ay...Some inspiration for you

[matlowth]

Yeah I heard you had some troubles?

Although you're the first person I've ever heard having trouble after doing something like deca (ie. autocross)?

In the US, they only seem to break them after track day stuff, and even then, only after 30+ minutes.

There's a 8 MR on the stock gearbox running 9's.

Yeah - uncle Jeff is investigating with Mitsubishi now. He's as confused as i am...

No teeth, just selector fork - seems heat was a problem. Will let you know more when I know

[miniwog]

Or

Change the gold to gunmetal grey wheels and sign me up! but only if it doesn't understeer like james's hehe

go team superhappycheaterspecbandwagon!!!

[matlowth]

Uncle Jeff? Is that techsport?

Very interested in finding out the cause of this... So the gears themselves are ok, it's just the selector forks?

Cheers,

matt

Yeah - Techsport Jeff.

Mine is the first 6-speed to have probs. Lucky me!

Will let you know the full details once I know.

[NickR33]

are you guys all having kids or something and need the 4 doors!

seriously though I need a ride in one of these Evo's... I must be missing something, I just don't get excited about them... maybe once I have sampled the cornering goodness I will change my mind.... somone show me the light!

I be interested to know why the WRX boys have defected?

Just back on that gearbox issue...

Listed on the Ralliart website

http://www.ralliart.com.au/RalliartVehicle...nIX.aspx?item=2

the gearbox is listed as "6-speed manual (W5A51)"

I'm pretty sure the jap version gets the "MFA80" seen here

http://www.aichikikai.co.jp/english/mission.html

The only reference I can find to W5A51 anywhere is on this place

Nonetheless, interesting you've killed 4th and/or the selector fork.

James - Cool - thanks!

NickR33 - LOL - my Rexy was a 4 door! They're far more practical than a 2dr skyline!

Re: Rex boys defecting... Hardly... I had a 350rwkw R33 before I had the 05 Rex.. I bought this because it's the best new car at that price range... There's not a whole lot in it b/w the 07 STi and 07 Evo, the Evo (for me) was a more exciting drive.

Anything can be made to go fast in a straight line - it's the stuff between the straights that's the fun part!

Cheers,

matt

Thanks for the info!

BTW - I wouldn't hold a lot of stock in the info on the mitsubishi aus website - a lot of that info is based on the EVO VIII they sold here previously (including the weight).

Interesting about the torque limit of the gearbox - considering they run over 400nm factory in Japan/NZ!

Cheers,

matt

No worries Matt, by the way, you realise this is dandin (been a while mate).

I think I've seen you a couple of times at St. Kilda Towers, perhaps you can show me this Evo of yours sometime

Regards that torque limit, I'm sure it's underated. We all know the stock boxes can hold their own, I'm putting my money on driver error

[matlowth]

Fark - No way!

You still got the GTiR?

Where abouts are you working these days?

LOL - Yeah - James IS a fair hack!

I'm really not a fan of the evo styling....but they look better than that thing

[swift_drift87]

Nice 7 man. Any plans for it?

My bros got a 6.5 TME evo. Recently had the rear light garnish (the little light tabs next to rear lights) fitted and rotors done. Will post pics when he gets home
