Well my Evo VII went to its new home today...... Question is, what do I get next???

Im kinda wanting to have a break for a while, I love my import cars, but I'm a bit over it right now. Dont really want to jump straight back into something just yet.

Anyway.... Suggestions??

That's a nice looking evo you had mate.

Anyway, what to get next? Why not go VIP style if you're into that thing. Get a bit of a break from performance, getting faster lap times and go for a good cruiser? If not that, get a house if you don't already have one.

Depends on what you like I guess.

Ash - Yeah kinda just made up my mind & did it, wanted to pay a chunk off the house too......

Alan - I thought it would of sold quicker too, bloke who bought it couldnt believe the cond it was in & how well it had been cared for.... and yes, I love that shape too!

Warren & Ronin09 - 350GT & 350Z are on the test drive list....... not sure if im all that keen to go buy something yet but it'll be a fun way to spend a Saturday morning!

Arch - I think I miss teh powa!!!! Dont miss the bills though!

Snowy - Nah I really liked it, had a lot going for it & it was white... (I love white cars ) but other things are more important in 2007 than the Evo. Like owning my home quicker! :blink:

Troy - They just look sooo tough in silver hey! Pity I cant steer as good as you can in yours!

Im a bit keen on driving an F6 Typhoon, I like the idea of a Luxo barge tweaked to 350+ rwkw......

Only GTR I would consider is a late model '34 in Grey, but im not sure I could keep from playing with it! Price sorta rules that one out right now.

Evo IX is awesome value.

350GT I like alot too.

350Z ive never driven, but my ex boss has a Black manual Track I could have a fang in no doubt.

VE Clubsport Ive driven, liked it too.

MY06 Sti ive lived with for a week a few months back, styling didnt grow on me. Drove good though. HID's FTW!!!!

What else is there? Anything ive forgotten?

Found it. Sell the stoopid house, dont need clothes either, so hock them at the Salvos to help pay for the just as stoopid car. As for eating, just rack stuff from the servo when the attendant is out having a hand feed over your new car :blink:

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
