Hey gang

After quite a bit of browsing the market for a 33 or 34 GTR, I came across a car that I found was to be a little bit better value for money and in my budget - a Mitsubishi Evolution 8 MR. I miss my 34 and waving to other Skylines as I drive past, but I'm having tons of fun with this car. I'm still keen to be an active SAUer and attend everything I can. See you at Putty Road. Enjoy!

Cheers

Shanil

Thanks guys

Yep the MR edition comes stock with the Bilsteins, CF hood, lghter aluminium roof, turbo setup is slightly different, cam profiles a little more aggressive. It's my first AWD car and absolutely loving the corners!! Also my first turbo and manual car so the last couple of weeks have been a learning curb on both fronts.

R34Liner - sorry mate I only have a handful of pics of my actual ride which my brother took to experiment with his new camera. If you want to know what it looks like, it's exactly like this:

Evo 8 MR

See you guys on Sunday!

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
