my personal oppinion. mitsubishi cars can never be like nissan for street and circuit racing purpose. but the evo 7 would be the same as a evo 8 just a few updated body parts and bolt on things.

the GTR series looks better then evo 8. im saying R32 GTR looks better thena evo 8 . and they are also faster. i saw one doing 1.08 around wakefield with a normal driver.

my personal oppinion. mitsubishi cars can never be like nissan for street and circuit racing purpose.

are you implying that nissan have the best street and circuit car in the world?

if thats the case, why is the JUN Hyper Lemon EVO 5 the quickest around Tsukaba circuit in Japan where all the manufacturers bench mark their cars?

but the evo 7 would be the same as a evo 8 just a few updated body parts and bolt on things.

please elaborate....do you have facts that they are practically the same?

the GTR series looks better then evo 8

yes, thankyou for your opinion.

im saying R32 GTR looks better thena  evo 8
.

as above.

and they are also faster. i saw one doing 1.08 around wakefield with a normal driver.

stock r32 gtr? *STOCK* r32 gtr? is that so? official time or off your watch? who was the driver? was it on slicks? semi slicks? road tyres?

i thought the mines r34 is the fastest around tskuba ? . hmm i still say evo 5 is the best evo out :P . yes the GTR R32 just had filters and 15psi

what does a gtr run stock boost? about 7-8psi? so your talking about a gtr with almost double the boost vs a STOCK Evo8 still?

according to JUN website..."...Lap time was 0'55''976..."

besides that car :P.

the EVo 7 from HkS and kensai is extremely fast. the mines car does 56 around tsukuba. but im not sure about JUN evo 5.  the times are way off on that grid

That list is not... "correct"...

This car is KING:

The CYBER EVO Lancer Evolution 7 driven by Eiji Yamada...

Sick...

yup. i totally agree. they will be a cult car aimed at the pure enthusiast wanting more or something different to an my03 sti.

didnt the evo6.5 retail in australia for like 80-85K?

from what they wrote in the latest Motor (?? i think it was Motor) - they overpriced them, and had to drop the price to sell the last of them...that's why they are pricing these ones to be competitive with the STI's (apparently!)

It makes sense that Mistu will sell the EVO8 for the same price as an STI. The 6.5 wasn't exactly selling like hot cakes and took Mitsu a while to get rid of them. I'm sure anyone wouldn't want to repeat the mistake Nissan made with the GTR.

I think people really underestimate the EVO8. About 80% of max torque occurs at 2500rpm! No way the RB26 does this stock. Not to mention the 380?mm disc brakes. That's massive for a car that light. The R34 GTR is heavier and has 355mm discs (I think? No bigger though). In theory, the EVO should out brake the R34.

I know we all love our lines' but when the head starts thinking, you can't beat the EVO8.

nope they had to give the suckers away after they priced them around there

they are a quick car but shit there ugly

but if they do sell them for 55k i dont think you will c anymore sti's selling

I thought the reason they didn't sell was because they released the EVO 6 here the same month the EVO7 was released in Japan. I know I certainly wouldn't be buying an old model when they've just released a new one. My opinion - they had excess stock and as Mitsu Aus had been asking for the Evo for quite some time, they thought it would be a good dumping ground for the old models.

i think its all very speculative, but you have a very valid point.

in either case, if they sold at 55k to rival the sti then thats a great benefit for everyone as i still think an enthusiast would pay over and above that for an evo8.

are the brembo's on the evo8 4pot? because the bnr34 brembo's are 6 pot remember....?

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
