you dont have to go the MR

the main differences are

price

mr badging

titanium exhaust wheel

ecu tune

6 speed

probably other carbon shit

depending on price diff between MR and non MR

i found non MR 6 speeds in evo 8 as well

And you forgot the main part. It's lighter due to an aluminum roof.

I was at Geebung early in the night last night. Great place to meet barely legal loose moralled girls.

Interesting, I was around from 5 til about 9:30. And yeah, considering what else is available on a Sunday during the day, there's not much else I'd rather spend my Sunday at. Very early work on Monday friendly "night out" :)

Have you found one yet? Or just looking? Much better choice than FPV i reckon

there is a couple im going to check out.

i thought all evo 8's were 6 speed? the other differences are pointless. the only thing i dont like is everyone says there turning circle is really shit.

But evo is slower than your 34 GTR :P

it wont take much to make it quicker than a gtr. but im sure ill be back in a gtr again one day.

I wouldn't worry about that, I mean how often do you need to do a proper u-turn anyway? If you're really in a hurry, rip the handbrake ;)

Evo 8MR. f**k the normal 8!!

price is the same as a 9 for the 8mr

if you can afford it go the 8mr

all 8s are 6speeds

MR;s have alloy roof

bunch of extra carbon parts, like vortex generator, whole rear spoiler in carbon etc

have factory fitted bilstein struts which are awesome for stock struts, cars that arnt fitted with them use them as a cheap upgrade

ill upgrade the suspension anyway so ill probably wont go for the mr

Did the MR get all the fancy pants timing stuff?

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
