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..

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
    • 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...
