Maybe "TOPDECK"

This made me LOL which in turn woke up my sleeping daughter in a disgruntled state. Bugger.

Aaron, I don't care what these guys say, I like your yellow Lancer. Scott's white one looks rubbish though :P

PNM35

if insulting at least get it right.

Whats the comunity like on the evotard fourm? just hang round talking about PHAG? (Plenum Heat Actuation Grills)

That, & what ghey dayglo colour to paint their wheels next week.

Also needs moar roofracks and fixie.

why so much hate?

Well, its hard to pin down, but they are such a good, well rounded choice they are very common. Sort of like a R33 gtst was a good few years back. And they turned into the ultimate bogan import- like the new VN commo.

That and while being very fast to drive, they suffer the same lack of involvement as some more mordern cars.

Thats why people look back to the glory days.

Thats my take on it anyway- not saying its the right one, but just IMO

they arent that common down here though, hell at the end of the day its a lancer..

i wanted something i could track, still have four doors still have a manual, and be fairly cheap for what it is... especially since im getting a work car soonish...

but i am finding more and more people are turning to them.. but maybe that says something?

Lol why so much hate for the Evo? Serious question.

I'm loving this car heaps more than the whale..

I actually don't hate them at all; responsive, punchy package, and with some simple mods, they'll crush almost anything under 100k.

My mates Emo 9 has an exhaust, filter, hard pipe kit, and a walbro pump; 250awkw. It's like an angry dog, straining at the leash; just waiting to be set loose.

Less than 3k in mods INCLUDING the tune; it's gotta be good for a low 12/high 11.

The problem lies in the tens of thousands of P platers driving kitted stocker NA Lancers, and the fact that every douche in a Crummydore wants to run you; even in the Maccas drive thru.

Driving an Evo is the automotive equivalent of running through street holding a massive red dildo above your head, yelling "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!" People are looking, but for all the wrong reasons.

I hate the rear wing, and the fact that EVERYONE knows what it is. They beg to be driven hard, but if you do; everyone thinks you're a wanker.

I much prefer to tread softly, and carry a big stick.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
