Its a lancer; a bloody lancer

studies show that lancer drivers are 98% more likely to die by the hand of an SAU member

cmon most people buy the stock lancer and put a bloody bodykit on it; i couldnt tell the diff from 30metres away.

I always thought it was a factory option as ive seen so many with the exact same thing.

theyre both good cars. test drive both as usual. do you want a big or small car. do you need the extra doors? worst comes to worse flip a coin.

If your going to get an Evo, get a Evo 8 FQ400.

The FQ400, sold through Ralliart UK, produces 302.13 kW, from its 2.0 L 4G63 engine as the result of being specially modified by United Kingdom tuning firms Rampage Tuning, Owen Developments, and Flow Race Engines.

At 202.9 hp (151.3 kW) per litre, it has one of the highest specific output per litre of any roadcar engine.

Weights 1450 kg

0-100km/h in 3.5 seconds

1/4 mile in 12.1 seconds at 193km/h

Top speed is 283km/h

Top Gear UK did a Power Lap Test and it keeps up with the Lamborghini Murcielago.

It ran a 1 minute 24.8 seconds, which was 4.2 seconds quicker than the Murcielago's time of 1 minute 29 seconds.

FQ 400 Factory Upgrades and already on the car.

Custom built Garrett GT Dual Ball bearing Turbocharger

Owen Developments custom manufactured cast Stainless Steel Exhaust Manifold and Exhaust Elbow

Omega Forged Pistons

you can be as biased as you like.

but the fact is that an EVO 7 or 8 shits on an R34 GTT from so high that it lands on the skyline as a frozen chunk of space dung.

there is NOTHING that an R34GTT can do that the evo can't do ALOT better/quicker.

what is the price difference?..

perhaps if the price was $15K cheaper for the R34 gtt, and you were willing to spend that extra $15K on the R34GTT, then perhaps it might be OK..ish in comparison to the evo

Then again more vl turbos run 8-9-10's in this country then evo's lolz

obviously when you come to corner you wont need brakes cos the tree or pole will slow you down; in fact 120km/h to 0 in 5cm and 0.5seconds......Better than brembos.

Im just mucking around; the evo is a damn good car but like we've been saying, its always a lancer......a buzzbox that has been added a better engine and driveline.

Pick the car that makes you feel like a 10 year old boy and what you would enjoy looking at too; I would drive my r34 into my living room just to look at if i could.

LOL!

SAU member saff_cossie has a EVO 8 FQ 400, actualy its a MR Edition but with all the FQ 400 upgrades and the Badge on the boot.

4 door Skylines can look awesome too, a lot of ppl do like them too.

But I think Skyline is what you are going for.

The Evo is more a competitor to the GT-R one would think anyway.. if I had the money it would be the one and only Mitsubishi I'd own.

Course due to the proliferation of knock off bodykits, it'd be a real sleeper (the lack of neons and bob jane chrome rims could give it away though)

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
