My main complaint with the Evo was that in some ways its too easy to drive. Very clinical, razor sharp but a little soulless. A very fast car and I miss it heaps but I like something that can bite back a bit.

someone edited their post lol

i didnt? :unsure:

you shouldve traded me then. wouldve had a powerful stagea in your hands now!

As would I... depending on cargo space.

How would your Ridgeback go in a "small" wagon?

I know my two dogs would probably get quite car sick due to lack of space if I was in a smaller wagon/soft roader

Back on topic... not that there is one in here.

I would drop my Stagea, and get one of these in a heartbeat if they were available in Aust.

Evo Wagon

if our car came in sedan or coupe form, id be getting that

Not great in a Lancer, I think they are quite small cargo wise, but they still have that boxy shape, which allows dogs to stand up. Thats not really possible in a Holden sportwagon/mazda 6 wagon.

Two Dogs would be a no no I think, unless they were smaller dogs.

But heck- Evo wagon- that'd be almost more of a sleeper car that what we have!:banana:

Alex, I've seen (and photographed) an Evo wagon here in Sydney a few weeks ago, link: http://www.autocult.net and follow the link to the JDMST meet.

I think I rememeber reading a little while ago that they (evo wagons) could only be brought in as personal imports

Wow Nick, very interesting! I was under the impression nobody did the complience work on them. If there is just one floating around, maybe its a persoanl import...

Anyway... one car is in the country, thats a better probability than nil cars!:thumbsup:

oh...

well, a bit lol... be am importer of JDM cars, and drive something none of your clients can get! I guess you stay unique that way!

I like to think I'm not a completely naive retard, but can someone tell me how the fk something made in Australia is SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper in the US?

I'm looking at brake discs, and I've decided I'd prefer the DBA 4000 slotteds, but they're pretty epically expensive compared to the DBA street series and the RDA ones. And by epically expensive I mean almost twice the price.

Checking on ebay, as I usually do, I found I could get the DBA 4000 rotors for a 350Z touring from the US for almost half the price of Australia.

Unlike the street series and RDA, the 4000s are made in Australia. By an Australian company. So how on earth can they be cheaper form the states? :wacko:

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
