Was looking at some car web sites on the weekend and saw the new Evo X. Though this is a Skyline forum I thought with all Evo fan boys here that someone might have posted a thread. In case you haven't seen it yet I've posted some pics below. I don't know if it's just me but I'm seeing a lot of R34 GTR design elements here. Same type of nose and bonnet and pumped out square rear guards. What do you guys think? I'm thinking I could drive one of these if it looks hot in the flesh, I don't think pictures do it justice much like the R34's.

Everytime I see these topics come up I look at the pics and say yuk!

But they always seem to grow on me especially the VE HSV range.

I don't like the look of it at all really, the headlights and rims are only things i would say I like.

But I'm sure when i see one on the roads I'll be following it to check it out cause it's so hot.

eh i like it but then i dont. looks a little tougher than previous models, and draws away from the lancer(which is good. other models just looked like a lancer, which is why i couldnt bring myself to buy one), lights are cool.

just a little boxy, and there something about the front bar that isnt quiet right IMO.

the rear looks a little alfa romeo ish...

and is it bigger than previous models? like a legnum or whatever they are...

i don't think people buy evo's to have a burgundy car either, imo it will look much better in a traditionally more aggressive colour, black/white/red/etc etc

I don't like the look of it either

R35 style front, RX8 style rear!!! in 4-door

yuck

they should just make a 2-door EVO and style it differently, bet it'll still sound like a sewing machine or tractor like most mitsi's

I dunno Ni. The most recent "spy shots" from the Ring I reckon the STi actually looks better. The EVO is starting to look very plastic, high and a bit dull now that it is moving from the prototype stylings and into the production stylings. Where as I reckon the Rex is looking quite WRC (even it if is a Xsara copy)

I like......But 80K...

Maybe with the dollar getting to 88 cents US.....we might get it for the price of the IX...65K..if i recall.

KEEP YOUR SKYLINES........LOL.......TURBO FUN AT A 1/5 of the price....

GTR32's will increase in value when this comes out. :D

Anyway..love to see it in real life..looked much narrower in the pics of old..

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
