Saff Cossie - Yeah I'd say it had some mods when it was in Japan Alan..... got the Carbony exhaust thingy, an ARC heat shield & a Cusco rear Strut Brace.... susp isnt stock ethier, cant be as it sits really low...... but on the hoist today the Springs etc are plain black Mitsubishi ones!?! Its also got some sort of aftermarket clutch as its a fair PIA ! :P Nah I love it...... :D

Matt - Thanks man, I cant stop driving it... even though I really shouldnt be on the permit! We need to to do a photoshoot! ;)

Archie01 - RNEVO? I dunno dude, i'll stick with the old one :) For now!...... Hows your beast going?

Snowy - Gunmetal Wheels FTW!!!!! I wanted a Yellow Evo at first, but White swayed me, they look awesome with nicely offset rims & tasteful carbon bits. :)

I'll take some more pix over the weekend with the HKS exhaust on it, and the tint is pretty awful too, so ive got to (carefully) peel it off & get it all redone...as well as give it a good detail!

Cheers for all the replys :)

while no evo can be called attractive being based on a lancer of all things, there are many things that look worse than a turd... like your car! :laugh:

Marry me Dave :D

Thanks for the replies everyone. :)

Tuesday night must of been Evo night! :) Three Fangers getting Evo's.....

I would of loved a new IX, but its more than I could afford, the VII will do nicely. I had a nice surprise when I picked it up, a set of Factory ( i assume ) HID's on the seat!

Heres a crappy pic(s) of it outside my workshop I took this morning..... didnt do too much work, fitted my HKS HiPower exhaust instead! :)

very very nice - according to top gear the 400bhp evo that they tested kept up with the murcielago :D

stock on the outside (cept for wheels and exhaust), modify on the inside i say - bit like me see (innocent enough on the outside, but the most evil person on the inside :laugh: )

That was the FQ400 (if 400bhp) but thought it was the FQ360 when I saw it. Very fast but as demonstrated at the end of the feature, massively laggy. :)

StarionTurbo would at least agree with me. :woot: (I hope;-)

BTW - mine all fixed. Was 4th gear slider - it warped due to heat. Seems the part was just a Friday arvo job and likely to have been at the limit of manufacturing tolerances. No driver error (GAGF sLowth), no GB oil problems (Castrol Syntrax), and no damage to other components. Still - an expensive exercise non the less.

Fingers crossed it stays fixed so I can beat Snowy and Chris at DECA in Feb :ninja:

I noticed you didn't mention me in that list @ Deca? :laugh:

Glad to hear it was nothing hugely serious though!

Hmmm... more Evo's.. after test driving the new Evo9 with the sports pack, was quite impressed.. almost enough to buy it till they offered me f&*k all for my R33 (which was to be expected)..

Def impressive round the corners, pretty stiff, was nice driving something new rather than old...

Great buy on the VII..

Oh come on.

Its like parents of an god ugly child. :ninja:

They know its ugly, everyone sure are hell knows its ugly...

But by saying it over and over, the parents think that one day the ugly child might actually get a half decent head.

And from what ive seen of my brother, believe me, once ugly, always ugly

saff - is your evo laggy as well? or is that just for the FQ models? I thought the newer turbo models are less laggy in general.

Emsta,

All the FQ models (excluding the FQ400) used the factory turbo. As such - the only one which suffered terrible lag was the 400.

Cheers,

matt

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
